Air Charter Guide's Charter Spotlight: Skybird Aviation
October 11, 2022
Air Charter Guide recently spoke with Raquel Cabrera of Skybird Aviation, a worldwide-destination charter operator based in Van Nuys, CA. Scroll through the gallery to read the highlights.
What sets your operation apart from the competition?
"Currently a single aircraft operator with dedicated full-time personnel, customers get very personalized and highly specialized service on G650 flying."
How would you describe your flagship aircraft?
"Gulfstream G650: Large Cabin, Ultra Long Range, Equipped with Ka-band Wi-Fi. Custom Cabin Soundproofing."
Do you have any fun stories to share?
"One of our earliest trips in the 650 had a customer moving around multiple destinations in South America for his work. The work schedule paused with a five day break in Argentina, during which time the customer requested a quick personal side trip to Tennessee! For most airplanes, Tennessee is not a 'side trip' that can be accommodated non-stop from Argentina at short notice with two pilots. But with an airplane like the 650 at your disposal, it becomes no issue."
What is your most popular destination?
"This summer, it was mostly all Europe, particularly Italy & France."
