Concierge Aviation Limited has added a pristine Hawker 750 to their managed fleet. The aircraft, based at London Biggin Hill, is available for charter on Concierge's AOC.

"We see this expansion as a key stage in our development ," said managing director Glen Smith. "It presents the opportunity for us to demonstrate our service quality in the mid-size market from a London base. The Hawker 750 combines range and speed with a true stand-up cabin offering our clients a far wider range of non-stop destinations. The classic cabin configuration of 5 individual seats and a three seat divan is more spacious than many other aircraft in this class. The external hold provides additional capacity accommodating small suitcases, golf clubs or skis."

Concierge Aviation launched AOC operations in September 2011 with a Learjet 40XR and despite the market conditions has seen an excellent level of interest in this aircraft. Glen Smith added, "On the whole the charter market remains very competitive, but we will not under sell our aircraft. We are contracted to manage the aircraft on behalf of the owners. We look after their long term interests which includes maximising the return per hour and maintaining residual value of their asset. We have deliberately focussed on service delivery as we see an opportunity in the market particularly in the light and mid-size sector. Some would call this approach 'old school' but we are receiving enquiries from clients who are looking for exactly this type of operation."

Chief Pilot, Bryan Treadgold expressed his belief in the Concierge ethos, "We will grow at a rate where we can control our service and stand by our assurance of quality – over promising and under delivering is not an option."
