Twinjet’s A319CJ has carried out its first mission around the world. The operation was customised for a foreign government delegation. Led by chief pilot Bob Ruskell, Twinjet deployed its complete crew complement to transport the 28 vip passengers.

Navigating the globe in a clockwise direction, the aircraft visited eight different countries and crossed four continents in six days taking in such destinations as Delhi, Jakarta, Tokyo and Caracas.

Commander of the second sector Peter Shaw, said: “The crew were all very excited about the flight. It’s a real ground breaker for Twinjet.”
