Name change for International Air Charter

  Chief executive Hugh Courtenay, who founded the company, says: ‘The rebranding reflects the fact that we nowadays focus almost exclusively on luxury private jet charter.’
          From starting the business in the UK in 1991 with just one office, Courtenay has overseen the growth of a major international aviation charter organisation that now has 30 staff, a network of offices in the UK, an office in Nice, France, and a significant presence in the Middle East from a busy base in Dubai. The organisation is also planning to open new offices in key charter hubs Moscow and Florida in 2011.
                   ‘I think our growth has been due to a range of vital factors,’ said Courtenay, ‘from our complete dedication to our customers, to our access to what we believe is the largest and most comprehensive fleet of private jets anywhere in the world.  Our unique and sophisticated state-of-the-art aircraft sourcing technology was developed at an early stage and this Computerised Aircraft Tracking System (CATS) enables our aviation consultants to source available aircraft at the click of a mouse, by aircraft type, number of seats, year of manufacture and at any location in the world. When a customer calls with an enquiry, we can almost instantly provide details of the most suitable available for the clients’ itinerary and we can give a price indication, there and then.’
