Following on from FlyMeNow's record breaking summer of bookings, the leading helicopter and private jet charter company has announced that it is set to expand its ground presence by opening a permanent base at London's TAG Farnborough Airport.
As part of the company's commitment to retaining the personal touch and building long-standing relationships with every single client, FlyMeNow will be opening its new head office at TAG Farnborough Airport. The new base will mean that the team is on-hand to meet and greet many of its passengers prior to boarding their aircraft, ensuring that all their requirements are met before flying.
Andrew Whitney, commercial director of FlyMeNow, comments: “We are so excited to be opening our new base at TAG Farnborough Airport. Dedicated exclusively to providing a vip experience for all business aviation passengers, the airport has built up an amazing reputation over the years and it's fantastic that FlyMeNow is now part of its family.”
The new ground base means that the FlyMeNow team is never more than five minutes away from its passengers flying from and to the airport. Plus, thanks to Farnborough Airport's outstanding reputation and vip offering, clients will receive the personal, high standard level of service that FlyMeNow passengers have to come to expect the minute they step foot into the terminal.
Andrew continues: “Whilst many private charter companies are focusing on expanding their online presence and building their business through face-less technology, we want the opposite, it's almost a back to basics approach to customer service. By being based at the airport it means that we can personally ensure every charter runs smoothly and that clients are always looked after by one of our team members, something that so many larger private aviation firms seem to forget. It's this level of service that has got us to where we are today.”
Located in Hampshire, TAG Farnborough Airport had more than 25,000 business aviation flights take off in 2013 and is the only UK airport dedicated to business aviation. As an award winning fixed based operation, the airport offers a five star, tailored experience for all of its visitors.
As part of the TAG Farnborough Airport service, arriving business travellers have the chance to be met by a vehicle on the runway when leaving their aircraft. Plus, for travellers looking to fly out of the country, this service offers a quick, discrete, hassle-free solution that provides passengers with a direct service going straight from the office to their car to a private charter, which is already prepped and ready to take off in minutes.
The airport also boasts quick and easy links into central London. Situated only 40 miles away from the city, the south east base acts as the perfect gateway for business aviation passengers from across the world looking to easily travel into the capital within 45 minutes. This privacy, ease and accessibility when travelling is a necessity for many business passengers aiming to fly in and out of the country for scheduled meetings within the same day.
Andrew concludes: “TAG Farnborough Airport is the perfect base for those looking for easy, stress-free and quick access into the heart of our capital. Its 'Car-to-Aircraft' service and minimal distance from London makes this airport the go-to choice for so many travellers. At FlyMeNow we are excited to start this next chapter of our growing business and to see what amazing opportunities we will gain being based at this world renowned airport.”
In the past six months, FlyMeNow has gone from strength to strength, with private charter bookings up my 150 per cent compared to previous years.
