Claudette Gharbi, head passenger broker at Chapman Freeborn, recently won a case of champagne after becoming the first charter broker to book a flight on Twinjet’s Challenger 604.

Gharbi narrowly beat another competitor and chartered the aircraft for a well known band as part of its European tour.

Meanwhile, Twinjet has joined the Flexjet Europe programme as an authorised operator using the 604. Daniel Maiden, commercial director of Flexjet Europe, exchanged contracts with Julian Burrell, Twinjet’s charter sales manager, at this year’s EBACE convention.
