LEA Legacy flights rock on
London Executive Aviation Legacy fleet crews have enjoyed sampling the rock star world this summer.

London Executive Aviation Legacy fleet crews have enjoyed sampling the rock star world this summer. "We've been flying some of the world's most famous musicians," says George Galanopoulos, LEA md. "When you have a heavy international schedule of tour commitments, and hundreds of thousands of fans eager to see you perform across Europe, you need fast and reliable transport. Stars really like the Legacy 600 and the aircraft is enjoying much demand from tour managers."

LEA operates five of the type in a total fleet of 23 aircraft ranging from the Mustang to the Falcon 900EX.

Galanopoulos says the 13-passenger capacity of the Legacy 600 is "the best cabin space for the money." He adds: "The Legacy also has a huge luggage hold, accessible inflight. Its range is good and the dispatch rate is excellent. This is an element tour managers and performers take very seriously indeed. You can't afford to be sitting on the ramp at an airport somewhere when you should be singing to a stadium full of people."

He says: "This summer, we've flown legendary singers and guitarists all over Europe, to and from places like Paris, Rome, Stockholm and Berlin."
