Vibroair Flugservice says it has brought the first Legacy 600 into service in North Rhine Westphalia - one of just four in Germany that are fully available for international private charter.

The company's ceos Michael and Klaus Viehof say the aircraft ranks as one of the most modern super midsize jets and is extremely popular thanks to the outstanding comfort and spaciousness it affords.

The generous cabin with three elegant private areas and two separate washroom amenities provides, they say, stylish surroundings for up to 13 passengers with headroom of 1.83 m and a length of 12.95 m.

"Passengers enjoy the comfort both when working productively or while relaxing and enjoying themselves. The hold of this elegant jet is exceptionally large with a capacity of 6.8 cubic metres. We are very proud to be the first operator of this model in North Rhine Westphalia. Groups of sports enthusiasts such as golfers and hockey teams or bands of musicians will benefit from the huge space and the attractive non-stop cruising range of over 6,000 km (3,240 nm) The value for money offered by our Legacy 600 will open up a whole new range of possibilities for businesses from the region and for private individuals."

Ulrich Sigmann, accountable manager, explains: "Our passengers can take off on an ad hoc basis for interesting destinations like the United Arab Emirates, London or, with just one stopover, New York, on board one of the most modern executive jets, which satisfies the highest of standards. Clients will find the 2009 model provides ideal conditions for working and relaxation with its cruising speed of 850 kph and a further reduced noise level. "The conference area allows passengers to hold meetings or conference calls without being disturbed: guests can enjoy their dinner in peace or simply lie down and relax. On top of this, state-of-the-art entertainment systems like iPod docking, airshow and CD/DVD players will leave no room for boredom during a long-haul flight."

Vibroair Flugservice says the perfectly equipped galley includes an espresso machine. The company was founded in 1987 as part of Allkauf-Flugdienst. It operates two Raytheon Premier 1s and a Gulfstream Astra SP for private charter and courier flights. "There are plans to expand the fleet with two Phenom 300s and one Legacy 500," Sigmann adds.
