CASE STUDY
Live tours are complex, demanding layers of planning and problem-solving.
The first tour of this year combined two sets of journeys: quick trips home after shows for the artist on a Citation M2, alongside transporting the artist and band between shows within the UK and across Europe on a Challenger 604.
Sourcing a competitive G-registered aircraft in a post-Brexit Britain was our first focus, followed by working around late night curfews at airports in and around London.
We made contact with nearby regional airports to create plans A, B and C, and ensured our operator made late night slot applications accordingly. During the tour we only needed to divert from plan A twice, but our contingencies were always on standby.
We also experienced an AOG, but quickly sourced and booked a sub-charter that went without hitch. Our skilled Charter Operations Team has trusted partners for sub-charters to keep things moving in any eventuality.
In contrast, a different tour this year – a full production team and band tour around Europe using a B737 VIP configured airliner – had different complexities.
Airliners and large passenger numbers require their own due diligence procedures and handling. 11 of the 15 stops around Europe required main terminal, rather than FBO, handling, which meant coordinating check-in and security with the clients and each airport to ensure swift processing, boarding and departure.
Our Charter Ops team involvement goes well beyond standard levels of service.
From arranging Special Assistance, arranging meeting and departure procedures, refining catering, providing ‘flight rider’ assistance and being the vital link between all parties, we take great pride in our service and we like to think it shows.
