As the leaders in global aircraft and private jet charters, Smart Aviation is extremely experienced in flying high-profile clients across the world for the most intricate of engagements, including those with world-renowned jewellers to discuss the design of bespoke items.
Last week, Smart Aviation’s VIP Charter Team organised an Embraer 135 private jet with a corporate cabin configuration to transport an elite client, along with their retinue of 13, from East Midlands Airport to an exclusive appointment with a much sought-after jewellery designer in Geneva.
Smart Aviation partnered with the award-winning Advantage Flight Support on this charter, the East Midlands Airport’s Premier FBO, (fixed-base operator). Arriving at the private jet terminal in a luxury black Mercedes Benz 16-seater mini bus arranged by Smart Aviation, the group briefly enjoyed the facilities in the lounge before a swift transfer to their awaiting private jet. Another minibus was waiting for the group at Geneva Airport, promptly taking them to their hotel to freshen up before their appointment. The minibus, organised by Smart Aviation, stayed with the group throughout their visit to Geneva, which included an overnight stay and a transfer back to the airport for the return flight the following day.
James Gregory, Smart’s Head of VIP Charters, said: “Charters like this one, with such an emotive purpose, are really exciting ones to work on. It was unusual to have such a large group for such an intimate meeting. The client had waited a considerable amount of time for this moment so it was imperative that the group got there comfortably, in style, and on time. We kept a very close eye on all the moving parts of this booking, as we do with all our charters. We are used to this level of pressure and the client was delighted with the high-level of service we provided”.
