The charter division of 2Excel Aviation is now offering its VIP Boeing 737s for flights from Farnborough airport in the UK. The operator's wide B737 cabin is fitted with 62 business class seats, allowing for social distancing in comfort. The jet also offers a full payload with 4,000kg of hold baggage and has an endurance of five-and-a-half to six hours of flying.

Director George Offer says: “Opening up Farnborough for our B737s is a terrific opportunity and allows us to compete with other carriers on similar terms. We're confident the offering will be well received by customers. We're encouraging brokers to consider the potential of using Farnborough for their flights alongside our established airports at Biggin Hill, Luton and our home base of Stansted as great alternatives around London.

“Farnborough is regarded as one of the key business aviation gateways to the capital and is renowned for the quality of service it provides. The long runway is very convenient for customers travelling from London or throughout southern England and passengers can be driven directly to their waiting aircraft, ensuring a discrete and convenient flight experience.”

The offering builds on 2Excel Charter's VIP 737 product, which launched in early 2018. For passengers looking to avoid the crowds at larger, mainstream airport terminals, private aviation provides the reassurance of a deep-cleaned aircraft, crew who have all been tested for coronavirus and are wearing PPE, with more available for passengers.
