Charter management company Global Jet, a longtime EBACE exhibitor, has taken its display off site this year to its nearby headquarters office in Geneva, where the company is hosting guests with a taste of its VVIP service. “A booth is not big enough for us,” said Abner Tato, Global Jet’s quality director. “We wanted to amaze our guests by revisiting totally our premise” of providing superior service “above the clouds.”
At its office, the company is presenting breakfasts catered by Absolute Taste and gourmet lunches prepared by the company’s starred chef, and a collection of watches from Geneva’s Montres Prestige. From Global Jet headquarters, guests are transported to Palexpo by a Tesla Model X, where they tour the show and visit the static display accompanied by a Global Jet advisor. The experience is capped by a gala cocktail party and dinner at the hotel President Wilson attended by key industry figures.
Global Jet has much news to tell its guests. The company announced here at EBACE the addition this year of several aircraft to its charter fleet, including a Falcon 900LX, a Europe-based ACJ318 Elite, a Global Express XRS, and a 2015 Global 5000ER Vision. With the added jets, “this charter year seems more promising than last year,” said Leonard Bertholet, charter sales director.
The company has also added a BBJ3 and Gulfstream G650 to its managed fleet, now totaling more than 70 aircraft representing more than 25 aircraft types. The company has also handled “in the past semester” the sale or purchase of aircraft including an ACJ318 Elite, two G650s, a G550, G450, and G200, a Falcon 7X, and announced the appointment of Hardy Sohanpal as sales director of its Monaco-based sales and acquisition office.
