No rain , no wind and the blue sky sees a rush of visitors from the exhibition halls to the aircraft static park .
Thursday proved to be the busiest of the 3 days for the Cello staff with the British and European air charter brokers continuing to not only visit the aircraft, but also leave charter requests for quotation. One of the visiting UK brokers gets to make the Business aviation press with a photo call in front of the Cello Aircraft.
The final count has yet to be done but early estimates are up to 200 air charter broker visits.
The 'competition' are in attendence again - well it's a product different in quality from anything else in the market
More visitors from the Middle East meet with BAe staff - the aircraft type already a success with the region's Presidential and Royal flightsin VVIP layout.
Same aircraft -different customers. The smell of new leather ( and the occassional offer of something a little alcoholic) seems to leave the visitors with that feeling of wellbeing!
And its all over . The doors are closed and the staff finally get 5 minutes to relax before prep'ing the aircraft for a 1820 local slot departure from Geneva back to the UK .
It's back to Birmingham for the crew and staff while the aircraft gets another 10 days in Southend with the final shake down on the interior. The visitors don't see them - but the staff have a list of minor cabin cosmetic snags for remedial attention .
Attention to detail is what Cello Aviation is all about.
So back to the office to plan for UK broker days and broker guest days in Birmingham between 20 and 30 May
And its not just about the large air transports
What an elegant 4 place interior for this Embraer Phenom on the adjacent stand
What a great industry this is !!!
