European business aviation company KlasJet has
supplemented its fleet with its first narrow-body business aircraft - a Boeing
737.
Newly modified and furnished to meet the
demands of sports teams, large business traveler groups and government
officials, the new business jet has been already delivered to KlasJet by AviaAM
Leasing.
The 737 is equipped with 56 business class
leather seats with legroom of over 1 meter. Primarily owned and operated by US
operator Continental Airlines on commercial flights, the aircraft has undergone
major modification to meet the highest standards of business aviation. The
works, conducted by and international MRO provider FL Technics involved seat
refurbishment, installment of luxurious livery, white cold lightning,
introduction of LOPA, new carpet cover and a number of other interior as well as
exterior design changes.
“This business jet will be one-of-a-kind in
Eastern Europe and is already gaining attention from our current customers as
well as new potential clients," said KlasJet CEO,
Vitalij Kapitonov.
"Having the ability to avoid long queues at the airport and sometimes tiresome
attention from the fans is very much valued by sports teams - let alone the
legroom to save as much energy as possible for future wins!”
KlasJet has already signed a charter agreement
with one of the Euroleague teams BC Kauno Zalgiris. The team will use the
aircraft to travel to their away Euroleague games at the beginning of autumn.
For now, at least 15 road matches are planned for the upcoming season. Along
with BC Kauno Zalgiris, aircraft attracted the attention of other major sports
teams and businesses in the region. KlasJet plans to enlarge the list of
clientele for the Boeing 737 soon in the future.
“The diaspora of our clientele is extensive:
some require light, mid-size, others demand for large business jets. Boeing 737
is currently the largest aircraft on our fleet and allows us to fulfill growing
demand for aircraft suitable for large groups of people. Within the next year,
we plan to complement our fleet with 2 additional aircraft of this type,” adds
Kapitonov.
KlasJet is a member of Avia Solutions Group
family - an international, publicly traded aviation holding company with over 20
subsidiaries worldwide. |
