Twinjet Aircraft’s A319CJ has been booked for October 2001 to undertake a maiden trip for the luxury tour operator Goodwood Travel. This is part of its Flights of Fantasy air cruise programme, taking passengers from the Pyramids in Egypt, to the Taj Mahal and finally to Petra in Southern Jordan. Other trips taking place in 2002 include the South American Melodies air cruises and the Dubai World Cup Monaco Grand Prix air cruises.

Luton-based Twinjet and Mohamed Abdulmohsin Al Kharafi & Sons recently announced the start of a further three-year contract to operate the company’s A319CJ.

Said managing director John Keeble: “Over the next three years, we envisage further development for our A319CJ charter programme, with additional managed aircraft added to the UK’s first corporate airline.”

In June, the aircraft flew a Head of State around the world, visiting four continents in six days.

The M.A. Kharafi Group of Kuwait is involved in varied activities including construction, food, industry, investment, travel and tourism.
