The private executive jet company with headquarters in Saarbrücken has announced a doubling of turnover for the first quarter. "As a result of restructuring the company in Saarbrücken and the expansion of the Aircraft Management division we were able to achieve a doubling of turnover with business flights in spite of the global economic crisis", to quote CEO Jörg Socko.

Only in February this year Silver Bird Charterflug moved its headquarters from Bremen to Saarbrücken and expanded its fleet of Learjets by adding long-haul flights. The operator of luxurious private jets thus provides four Learjets, one Challenger 300, one Legacy 600 and one

Gulfstream G450. Further long-haul jets, operated on behalf of international aircraft owners, will be announced over the next few months. "With a highly motivated team and excellent customer service we are very well positioned to satisfy the expectations of our discerning clientele" says

Socko on an upbeat note. "We are a small but first-class German company, which delivers quality, and we concentrate on traditional corporate values like precision and professionalism that are still a guarantee of success, both at home and abroad."

However, years of experience in the charter business and air ambulance transport as well as our individual customer relations are what set the executive aviation company apart. "The contact with our customers is the crucial factor. We offer bespoke aviation services and orient ourselves

to our customers' requirements alone," confirms sales director Miguel Arnela. In this way business travel in a private jet remains an attractive and above all time-saving alternative to scheduled flights for small and mid-sized businesses as well.

The executive jet business was founded in 1994 by the managing director Peter Döllner. The chief executive officer (CEO) is Jörg Socko. The partner company for distribution is Charter Lounge.
