EBACE: Greek operator seen Gains from Mid East opportunies
Greek charter operator Gainjet sees the Middle East as a potentially lucrative market for its services following the acquisition of a second Bombardier Challenger 604.
The Athens-based company is at EBACE in Geneva to promote its position as a central hub between Europe, Africa and Asia.
“We are receiving increased demand for long range charters between the Middle East, Europe and Africa which reflects the expansion of business activity in these areas. An increasing array of destinations between the Middle East and Africa are appearing a lot more frequently on our trip planning board,” said GainJet president Ramsey Shaban.
“We selected the CL-604s with particular missions in mind as we saw trends for long range aircraft with lower number passengers in addition to wanting to be able to provide Medevac services. For our passengers the spacious cabins, and 4,000 nautical mile range makes them a valuable addition to the our portfolio.”
The new addition was completely refurbished and features six club seats and a four person couch as well as an onboard state-of-the-art entertainment system. Shaban says it can comfortably accommodate 10 passengers and is ideal for Paris – New York, Dubai-London, Kuwait – Paris and many other popular long range flights.”
