GainJet Aviation is to represent Greece in the European Business Awards as one of 30 national finalists.

Chief executive Captain James McBride says: "To be selected as one of 30 finalists among many esteemed contenders is an honour for GainJet. Since 2006, when we first opened for business, we have continuously strived to ensure the highest standards of safety, security and passenger care in the sky. To be recognised by such a prestigious organisation as the EBAs as a leading business in Greece is a wonderful reward for our efforts. The economic crises in Greece and Europe affected the business aviation industry, so this very welcome news is a boost not only to GainJet, but to the industry and for Greece," he adds.

The operator was nominated by auditing firm RSM Stylianou.
