Dispatch from the Road: Geneva, Switzerland

The concept of aerodynamics is fueled by design. Without the right fuselage, tail, and wings, lift could never be generated and several tons of tin would sit idle.

So it should come as no surprise that the annual European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva this week was highlighted for me by different designs.

Yes, the standard static display took over the ramp at Geneva airport, but I am not referring to actual aircraft.

The unique design presented by each exhibitor was what was eye opening.

Dispatch from the Road: Sofia, Bulgaria

When you think of Bulgaria, what first comes to mind?

No offense to Bulgarians, but most people end up saying “nothing.”

Nestled above Greece and next to Turkey, the little known ancient country remains a hidden gem of Europe. Surrounded by beautiful snow capped mountains, the largest and capital city of Sofia boasts friendly locals and many wonderful restaurants serving traditional Bulgarian food that seems like a combination of Central European and Mediterranean cuisines.

Euro Jet Featured in European Business Aviation News

As we approach the Summer months, the Euro Jet stations of Ukraine and Poland are gearing up for what will be a busy June and July as both countries’ co-host the European Football Championship. We already have over 100 flights booked for the Championship and have been promoting the tournament with a Facebook  competition. In addition to this, we will be giving away Championship related gifts at our booth in Geneva at EBACE.

Dispatch from the Road: Hong Kong and Shanghai

The image of private aircraft lined-up side-by-side on the tarmac of a private airport would lead most to assume they are in Las Vegas, Orlando, or Geneva. These are the standard NBAA/EBACE convention venues for those to view, buy, charter, or just dream about owning a jet.

However, last week the venue moved East to what has become the fastest growing place on earth for private aviation.

China.

Dispatch from the Road: France and Switzerland

From time-to-time I will be writing a themed piece called “Dispatch from the Road.” It will just be insights and observations from my travels as I meet with customers, vendors, and our stations around-the-world. 

My last trip took me around Europe to Cannes, France, then back to the Euro Jet office in Prague followed by a weeklong trip in Switzerland covering Zurich, Bern, and Geneva.

I arrived in the town of Cannes the night before the Conference. My train had broken down for 45 minutes in some rural part of France where no one spoke a word of English. Luckily for me the train started working again as I do not speak a word of French (other than Bonjour, Merci, and Not Possible).
