International Air Charter has opened new offices in Sophia-Antipolis, in the south of France. Newly appointed business development manager Mia Chargelegue said: “It is a largely untapped market here in the Côte d’Azur. We are reasonably well served by helicopters, but not for other private aircraft. We hope to fill that gap and will initially be focusing on the provision of business jets and vip aircraft, for which there is a huge potential in this area.”

She added: “I am also looking forward to introducing our company to the many corporate users who may require commercial airliners for corp-orate events or product launches.”

The company has also recently appointed Elias Abdo as its sales and marketing manager for the Middle East region. Abdo will be based at International Air Charter’s Dubai office, which was established just one year ago.
