Prior to the pandemic group travel in business-jets or vvip airliners often refer to as music tour or football team; however, with the current global pandemic the aircraft chartering has demonstrated to be able to fulfil a different kind of purpose, especially those aircraft with large seating capacity.

APERTUS recently took part in organizing a number of large groups travel which uses vvip airliner as part of the travel solution, demonstrating how chartered aircraft can successfully transport passengers safely and effectively to reunite with love ones for the festive season.

One of the challenges we recently accomplished was to safely transport 59 passengers from London to Helsinki, who then transit to their commercial flight. What made the mission challenging was that we were only given a few days to accomplish it. Considering the large number of passengers, limited budget, transit requirement at Helsinki as well as the Covid regulations in the 3 locations, our Europe office were able to provide options to our client to consider along with a safety procedure structure that fitted the regulation for London, Helsinki and their final destination.

The entire proposal was prepared and presented to the client within 3 hours, enabling them to make a firm decision confirming the trip in 1 hour.

Once the trip was confirmed, some of the major tasks include pre-printing of baggage tags, advance booking for Covid and health assessments, and coordination with the airline’s station manager for managing the transit of passenger and baggage. APERTUS Europe office worked closely with the various experienced teams, to have the flight well-prepped for launch.

On the day of departure, our colleague was onsite at the FBO to provide support to passengers giving them ease of mind.

Due to the constant changes in travel policy across the regions, our team has a great responsibility in making sure we obtain up-to-date information for clients and to ensure the right arrangements are in place for their flight. We will continue to leverage our global network and local knowledge to provide the finest charter flight services to our clients and members.
