PrivatAir is expanding its charter sales team after reporting a 30 per cent rise in charter revenue in 2007. "The worldwide demand for charter of both large cabin aircraft and smaller jets shows no sign of abating," says Richard Koe, vp charter and aircraft management.

But he adds: "Improved organisation, new charter products, precise pricing, strong operational support and specific marketing initiatives have all played their part along with hard work from the team."
