GlobeAir logs record flights in three months

Austria-based GlobeAir has logged 2,509 flights between July and September this year, more than any other third quarter period in its 10-year history and four per cent higher than the same period in 2016. The UK accounted for 299 departures, a rise of 33 per cent on last year, and the company saw correspon-ding increases of two per cent in Italy, four per cent in Switzerland and 12 per cent in Spain.

It attributes its robust growth to three factors: its focus on providing the highest possible standards of customer service; a significant increase in business aviation traffic; and a growing trend to use smaller aircraft to save money. Chief marketing and sales officer Mauro De Rosa comments: “Demand for private aviation is clearly on the rise and the very light jet category is one of the main beneficiaries of this.”
