London Executive Aviation is continuing its fleet expansion with the addition of another Challenger 300 based at Luton airport. This brings the total number of aircraft in the LEA fleet to 28.

The Challenger can seat up to ten passengers plus crew and stewardess, and allows non-stop flights from London to destinations such as Moscow, Jeddah, Lagos and Dubai.

LEA managing director George Galanopoulos says: "The addition of this aircraft to our fleet highlights our dedication to offering the broadest range of aircraft options for business charter operations. We have amassed considerable experience of operating this type and have been very pleased with its dispatch reliability. We have also received consistently positive customer feedback. "Our Challenger 300s fill a niche in our fleet between the midsize Citation Excel and large cabin Embraer Legacys. Their impressive range, coupled with modern, spacious cabins, make these aircraft an extremely popular choice."

LEA has also announced a partnership with aviation catering provider High Flying Food, covering six of LEA's UK bases: London City, Farnborough, Luton, Biggin Hill, Stapleford and Oxford airports.

Patrick Margetson-Rushmore, LEA chief executive, says: "We have always been dedicated to providing the best quality private air travel experience for all our clients and this partnership provides the latest example of this. As we have such a wide range of customers, it is important for us to be able to cater for a variety of tastes and demands and High Flying Food can help us do just that."

Sheila Greenwood, cabin service manager, adds: "We've taken a great deal of time to research the best ways to provide the highest quality catering options. Having undertaken a trial with High Flying Food, I've seen first-hand the positive reaction of our clients, and we are very pleased to offer this service across our fleet."

Menus can be personalised to suit all dietary requirements and include a selection of dishes from around the world, ranging from traditional English roast chicken to Thai curries.
