The private jet team has just completed an intricate charter schedule for an Australian billionaire touring Europe this summer. As global leaders in private jet charters, we specialise in orchestrating seamless journeys with countless moving parts, and we’re delighted to report that this one ran flawlessly.
The trip began on a Embraer Lineage 1000E, with 16 passengers flying from Paris to Milan. This aircraft is one of our favourites and one we use frequently for clients. The Embraer Lineage 1000E isn’t just a private jet, it’s like flying in a luxury apartment. With five different cabin zones to spread out in, room for up to 19 people, and a range that’ll take guests about 4,600 nautical miles, it’s built for long-haul comfort and serious style. The clients loved it.
The group’s European journey unfolded in style aboard the Lineage, carrying them from Milan to Naples and onward to Olbia, where a private superyacht awaited their arrival. A week of serene sailing across the Mediterranean followed, with time to savour the sea and its coastal charms before returning to Palermo for the next chapter. From there, the group parted ways — eight guests flying to Rome on a Challenger 850, while six continued east to Istanbul.
Smart ensured every detail was seamless, arranging all private transfers throughout the journey. Six luxury Mercedes-Benz Vianos collected the group from each Mandarin Oriental hotel, delivering them directly to the private jet terminal. On arrival in Milan, Naples, and Olbia, the same vehicles were waiting to whisk them effortlessly to their next destination.
James Gregory, Head of VIP Charter, commented: “This was a particularly exciting schedule to manage, with so many elements coming together. Our team oversaw every detail — from ensuring cars were waiting at the hotels to carefully handle the considerable luggage and coordinating prompt flight departures. We look forward to welcoming the group back to Europe next summer, when they plan to charter another superyacht and explore the coast of Croatia.”
