Twinjet Aviation Group, in keeping with its change of name from Twinjet Aircraft, is broadening its range of activities in the Middle East. "We plan to base a second aircraft in the region from later this year and are also intending to open a sales office in a major city in the next six months," says Keith McMann, ceo.

The company, which operates a Challenger 604 from Bahrain, was established in 1982 and has a client base that includes Royal families, heads of state and sports and entertainment personalities.

McMann says: "The next 12 months will be an exciting time for Twinjet as we extend our operations and activities. We continue to see a growing demand for our services and plan to introduce further aircraft by the end of this year."

Twinjet also plans to expand its programme of executive jet cabin crew training courses to include safety and emergency procedures, first aid and crew resource management in addition to cabin protocol, handling vip clients and menu planning.
