Request

We were tasked with organising a roadshow tour for senior directors of 8 cities in 3 days. After the tour was completed, one of the directors was then travelling onward to Hawaii for a family holiday. A Gulfstream 550 was used for the group tour – a large jet with ample range for each trip and plenty of cabin space for 6 passengers, as well as a separate washroom. Although they had to do a large amount of travel in a small space of time, the peaceful on-board experience enabled them to use this time to relax or carrying on working in flight.

Challenge

The deal was closed earlier than expected, meaning that the financial roadshow ended 24 hours ahead of schedule. However, the client was already on the flight to the final, now unnecessary, meeting in San Francisco. The client requested to continue straight on to Hawaii once arriving into San Francisco to meet his family early.

Solution

We sourced a smaller Challenger 350 for the ongoing journey – an ideal aircraft for this trip that also resulted in a cost saving for the client. Before having even landed in San Francisco, the client had agreed to the proposal and both flight plans and bespoke catering were swiftly organised. Owing to the flexibility and quick response of the Air Partner team, the client landed in Hawaii and met their family 24 hours ahead of schedule.

Request

To celebrate winning a big contract, our client tasked us with organising a special golf tour across 4 European countries in 5 days.

Challenge

The Citation Sovereign that was booked for the trip had a technical fault the night before the first flight planned, which could not be fixed in time. Although this situation is rare, our team are well prepared and experienced in these situations, ready to implement a back-up plan to keep our client on schedule.

Solution

Our 24 hour operations team were informed about the technical fault just before midnight. We immediately started searching for an alternative option within our network of trusted suppliers and organised an Embraer Legacy. The client was informed first thing in the morning and the jet was positioned and ready for the flight as planned. All costs for the replacement aircraft are covered by our unique CharterPLUS guarantee, which means you can have peace of mind that there is always a backup. Catering and personalised gift packs that were to be presented on-board were transferred to the new aircraft and the client arrived at their destination on schedule. Halfway through their tour, we went above and beyond to surprise the client with a complimentary jet upgrade.
