Our New Events Programme

Last year also saw the launch of our exclusive events programme for our Jet Card members, and it was wonderful for us to meet with these valued clients and enjoy time together in some spectacular settings. These included a golf event and stay at the magnificent Adare Manor in Ireland, and a private tour and tasting at the historic Dom Pérignon Maison in France. We are currently finalising our events programme for 2023, and look forward to sharing more exclusive invitations with those clients very soon.

Private jets are well-equipped to deal with CBs. On departure they have faster climb rates and the ability to get above the weather, leaving airliners behind and below. Then during the flight, less commercial and time pressure than airline pilots means the crew can take longer routes to fly around CBs. On landing, the agility and manouverability of a private aircraft allows a more flexible approach to the runway, avoiding bad weather on the approach path. They can also descend later and faster to keep out of the bad weather for most of your journey.
