Air Partner, the pre-eminent global private aviation company, has hailed its participation as an inaugural exhibitor at Offshore Europe 2007 as such a resounding success that it is already planning its representation at the next event in 2009.
Experts from all areas of its operation – commercial jets, freight, emergency planning and private jets – were in attendance to answer questions related to aircraft chartering and how it can help keep production rolling.
"We were kept extremely busy at Offshore Europe meeting existing clients and potential customers who want to know who they can turn to when they need a trusted and reliable aviation supplier,” said Mark Briffa, Chief Operating Officer. “The exhibition was also an excellent information gathering forum and as a result we are in the process of registering with the oil and gas industry supply chain database FPAL."
London Gatwick-based Air Partner is already an established provider of aviation services to many of the energy industry’s major players and over the past 12 months has flown spare parts (from gas generators to handheld oil rig spares) engineers, executives, VIPs and large groups. Flights are frequently urgent 'go now' operations flying people and parts into remote regions, or evacuating them from hostile environments or natural disasters.
"Whatever the request from the oil and gas industry, we have almost certainly organised something similar before and always source creative and cost-effective solutions. With aircraft charter as intrinsic to our clients as the fuel they extract, Air Partner believes the time is right to highlight the benefits of its specialist services to a wider audience," added Mr Briffa.
Air Partner has a proven record of operating to the highest standards and has passed every safety audit ever carried out by external regulators, including corporate safety auditors and security services. It operates a 24-hour office-based Operations centre 365 days a year and has an in-house IATA travel consultancy which organises connecting flights to link with charters, accommodation and transfers.
The Air Partner Group is the world's leading supplier of bespoke aviation charter with 23 offices in 15 countries spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia.
