Flexible operation, Flexible staff

So the cabin crew  thought they  were  operating Wednesday to  Faro for a customer and positioning straight back to  Birmingham  empty- Well they thought wrong .

A late booking  confirmation  sees the aircraft  position  from Faro to  Barcelona empty and then Nice  instead, in order to  operate   a VVIP  back to  the UK this weekend, Insh'Allah  - still I dont suppose they minded missing an odd episode  of Eastenders to spend a night or two in the Catalan capital . Good job they took their overnight bags  just in case .
Never use pen in your diary in this industry sector - things change and often at short notice.

Who is that arriving at the Cello Birmingham  terminal ?

and departing  for Portugal

A look at the Aston Villa  website  will reveal all

Farnborough week

Some healthy  air transport aircraft ordering  and up beat  signals regarding  business and VIP aviation make for an optimistic Farnborough week. The chance to  touch base with the good and great in the charter broker and  VIP executive charter industry whilst there is always a plus.

The requests  for  September flying are arriving in healthy numbers and we have a good order book for August  considering  the AOC is only 14 days old.

So what will be  our dominant market segment ?? Sporting team movements,  entertainment tours,  product launches, VVIP  needs?  Well they are all showing themselves. So far a fairly equal balance with football just nudging ahead (even though its the closed domestic season) The Champions and Europa League  early fixtures are just starting to  kick in .

Planning for some Eastern European operations next week, we are reminded  how much  VIP terminal passenger charges and catering costs in that region can make your eyes water!

No longer just a business plan

This is no  longer just a business plan. July 9 saw Cello move from  a business plan in progress  to an licenced  executive jet operator.

Within 3 days of licence grant, G-RAJJ was  airborne on its  first revenue earning flight to Germany on behalf of a car manufacturer supporting a new vehicle product launch.

Post World Cup, the  football league teams are into pre season friendly mode. Firming up other potential   customers sees  football requirements across Europe. Cello are involved with movements to/from  Portugal and Germany over the next 4 weeks.

The first operation confirmed the accuracy and resilience of the  flight planning, operations and crewing software with flight times and forecast fuel burns within 5% of forecast.

Was the onboard product design correct?- Feedback from the first customer has been very positive.

In the space of 5 months we've gone from

Many people go through their careers without  ever having the good fortune or opportunity to  be involved in creating a business  from  a green field site.

Some of us started earlier in the process- some later, but non  of us would have passed up the chance of being part of the creation.

We are open for business!-  CAA  AOC  GB2373

And now the fun really starts!!!
