Returning from a very successful edition of ABACE in Shanghai, Global Jet was thrilled by the large media coverage it received thanks to its impressive booth which blended Asian spirit with modern European finesse. After such a success, the company, which exhibits each year at EBACE, has decided to mark the occasion and set itself apart from its competitors by creating a unique concept of VIP transfers from its office in Geneva to the nearby exhibition.

“A booth is not big enough for us; we wanted to amaze our guests by totally revisiting our premises and proposing a VVIP service on site with creative breakfasts from Absolute Taste, a tailor-made sea food bar signed Caviar House with exquisite lunches presented by our starred chef, a dedicated showroom with the latest stunning collection by Montres Prestige and all this in festive rhythms to give a foretaste of the service we provide above the clouds.” comments Abner Tato, quality director of Global Jet.

Passengers are then accompanied in Tesla’s ground-breaking model X to the show to visit the static display with their dedicated Global Jet advisor. Finally, last but not least, the company has organized a special VVIP cocktail dinner at the incredible five-star hotel President Wilson, an event in which key players of the industry and prestigious clients have been invited.

In the second semester 2016, Global Jet was proud to announce a one-of-a-kind Falcon 900LX available for charter, LX-LXL which sports a stunning exterior painting: a grey anthracite body featuring stripes and wings in orange Hermès.The boutique-operator started 2017 with a major entry in its charter fleet, a fascinating A318 Elite, LX-LTI, flexibly based in Europe. This VVIP airliner can accommodate 19 guests in a modern and elegant interior and it can easily carry 80 pieces of luggage. Shortly after, a most-attended Bombardier Global Express XRS, LX-ZED, joined its charter fleet providing an elegantly furbished cabin designed with great taste for 10 passengers. The afterward cabin is a relaxing area where a couple could spend a romantic moment or a family could enjoy a cinema session. The latest arrival is a 2015 Global 5000ER Vision, OE-IMA, an aircraft that will feel like a home away from home. The cabin guarantees the lowest-in-class sound levels for the best night’s sleep you will ever have on a business aircraft thanks to its advanced soundproofing materials.

“With all these new jets available, and our present activity, this charter year seems more promising than last year” states Leonard Bertholet, charter sales director.

2017 is being fruitful to Global Jet; with five new aircraft management mandates already. “Our aircraft under management include very new aircraft types such as a BBJ3, Gulfstream 650 and Global 6000/5000ER Vision. We are proud to be the guardians of these incredible jewels. With a fleet comprising over 25 aircraft types (for a total of 70+ aircraft) and extensive knowledge for each one, we guarantee to our clients the top-level of safety, experienced crews on board and the most cost efficient operation” comments Edouard Lehembre, vice president aircraft management.
