Earlier this year, Air Charter Service appointed a new CEO for the company’s Swiss office, and the resultant upswing in charter numbers has been impressive.
Justin Bowman, CEO at Air Charter Service, commented: “In March of this year Arthur Guibert took over the management of our Swiss office and since then the number of bookings for the office, across all divisions, has risen by almost 25% year-on-year.
“Arthur has transformed our Geneva operation’s results in the six months since he joined, after what had been a relatively slow start to the year. His experience is a real asset to the team, and he’s been able to turn the office’s fortunes around almost immediately, getting it back to growth. We have recently brought in a couple of new members to the team, one bringing with him his own expertise after spending time at another Swiss private jet company.”
Arthur commented: “We have a great team here and I am now looking to expand the group further, both on the private jet and the cargo side of the business, in order to build on the success that I am confident will continue going forward.”

What Our Members Say
We are a small family owned and run business that the introduction of new measures by BF would have caused severe financial hardship. I was recommended to ask BBGA for advice which they instantly gave even though we were not members. They attended various meetings by my side, took the situation to a higher level within the Government department and helped me achieve a satisfactory outcome. I wasn’t pressured to become a member but what became apparent was their genuine desire to help resolve aviation issues for the better of the community. This association covers almost every aspect of the industry, has representation on the majority of decision making panels and achieves results by either diluting possible harmful legislation or stopping it altogether. Its members receive updates in real time often leaving other associations to ‘cut and paste’ BBGA releases some time later.
Inflite The Jet Centre Ltd.Penny Stephens, Director 
BBGA is the main business and general aviation industry Association in the UK. It represents a wide range of services and operators. It’s contribution to fairly represent our interests with the regulators and government departments as well as other associations is absolutely essential. The various BBGA events throughout the year are a great opportunity for everyone to network and discuss the current industry affairs and issues
BBGA’s ability to bring together all sectors of UK general and business aviation gives us enviable networking access.
Nobody has the ear of the regulator like BBGA and that’s two-way thing; BBGA is not just able to elicit answers from EASA, the CAA and DfT, its advice and recommendations are sought both nationally and supra-nationally too. That makes membership a vital way to influence upcoming policy.

Clyde & CoMark Bisset Partner, 
From first contact, to membership, to attending the 2021 Virtual Conference, I received a warm welcome for which I am extremely grateful. The mix of technical and strategic content re-enforced the decision to attend and was the right one at the right time for our business."
