Flymyjets third Mustang increases strategic coverage of the Paris region
Flymyjets, whose members have to part or wholly acquire a Mustang, is celebrating the addition of a third aircraft of the type based at Paris le Bourget.

FlyMyJets, whose members have to part or wholly acquire a Mustang, is celebrating the addition of a third aircraft of the type based at Paris le Bourget.

Founder and pilot Louis-Antoine Harlé says the location complements the base of the first co-owned Mustang at Toussus-le-Noble aerodrome, close to the business centres of Yvelines and Hauts- de-Seine.

"With these two bases, strategically located on both sides of the French capital, FlyMyJets can meet the needs of the local population – companies or individuals – wishing to be part of the club," Capt Harlé says. "In addition, the company will consider any request for a regional base – the second Mustang we acquired is based in the French provinces."

The latest acquisition is based at Paris le Bourget's Advanced Air Support, inaugurated in October 2010, which has integrated all handling and concierge services.

Capt Harlé adds: "The added 'plus' of this competitive ownership formula is the option of taking the controls, in the left cockpit seat, from the very first flight, whatever your piloting experience.

"The club member can make the childhood dream of flying their own aircraft come true."

Capt Harlé, captain and flight instructor on business jets, launched FlyMyJets in November 2009 (EBAN November 2010) after noticing his clients' excitement when they visited the cockpit.

"Fed up with the constraints of public transport, they are attracted to business aviation, but some would much rather be in the cockpit than in the cabin."

Although small jets are used for business trips, they are also chartered for the weekend with the family onboard, and then the space in the cabin is limited. By using one of the pilot seats, the owner frees a seat in the cabin and the cost per seat is also reduced.

Capt Harlé explains: "Training is at the heart of the FlyMyJets offer. A personalised training programme is adapted to each client according to their fancy, schedule and aeronautical knowledge, be they complete beginners or already pilots."

He points out that: "The student pilot can pursue training up to the type rating certificate to be able to fly the jet solo or, if they prefer, to continue flying with the instructor."

FlyMyJets, he says, applies the principle of fractional ownership without chartering the jets to other clients. "In order to protect the aircraft interior, only the owners have access to the fleet. The exchange system between co-owners gives access to the whole fleet."
