TAG Aviation today announced it is increasing availability for private charters aboard its luxuriously appointed Boeing 757 aircraft.

Over the summer and for the next twelve months, TAG Aviation, which leases the Jet to TCS World Travel, has created greater charter opportunity for travellers to indulge themselves in this fully immersive, unbranded designer jet, travel experience.

Charter availability will extend for six weeks during the summer from 1 July to 14 August 2016, four weeks from 10 October to 3 November 2016 and three months from 22 November 2016 to 21 February 2017.

Whether passengers wish to travel to far flung destinations or sample everyday life in a specific European region, the exclusively-equipped B757 private jet experience is an unforgettable indulgence like no other.

“I am delighted that we are now able to offer our beautiful aircraft to the charter market for extended periods. Last year TAG witnessed unprecedented demand for this exquisite aircraft. However due to prior commitments we were unable to meet it, denying many hundreds or even thousands of people the opportunity to experience the best product of its type anywhere on the planet” said Andrew Hodgson, director of charter Europe, TAG Aviation. “This personalised jet was designed and manufactured entirely for the enjoyment of its travellers, with cost and time being secondary considerations. I am very proud of the 'Black Pearl' and I am looking forward to welcoming many new guests on board in 2016 and beyond."

The B757 usually has capacity to carry 233 passengers and was transformed by TAG Aviation to create a customised cabin interior with two different cabin configurations; an 80 'VIP' seating configuration (plus 12 economy seats) which will be used during the summer charters and a 52 'Flatbed' seating configuration (plus nine economy seats) for the remaining charter periods.

With mood lighting, hand-woven wool carpeting, leather lacobucci designer seating, upgraded bathrooms, steam ovens and wine fridges, the aircraft is tailored to meet guests' every need, with an unsurpassed level of luxury. Amenities include wireless IFE allowing a wide selection of inflight entertainment, beautiful linens and the highest quality catering and beverages. A specially trained team of experienced crew travels with the aircraft, providing guests with highly personalised service during flights.
