We were tasked with finding the perfect aircraft to fly the group of 65 passengers from Norway to Cairo.
Arranging an 80th birthday trip to Egypt
One of our regular customers in Norway asked us to help plan his 80th birthday celebration. He was marking the milestone by flying to Egypt with friends for a cruise down the River Nile. An aircraft charter was the best way to coordinate the timings of the flights and cruise, so we got to work on a bespoke solution.
Our Solution
Route: Oslo > Cairo > Oslo
Aircraft: Boeing 737-500 VIP
The client had a specific Middle Eastern operator in mind for the charter, so we reached out to them and sourced a VIP aircraft for the 65 passengers. However, just 48 hours before the outbound flight was due to depart, we discovered they were unable to secure landing permits in time to position the aircraft in Oslo.
Despite charter aircraft being in high demand during peak season, we leveraged our local contacts to secure a Boeing 737-500 VIP at short notice from an alternative airline. We also booked additional crew for the return flight when the original crew had exceeded their hours.
The Finer Details
Special Touches: Our team sourced bespoke catering and provided Champagne onboard to make the flight to Egypt extra special.
Bespoke Details: We personalised the charter with specially created boarding cards and headrest covers.
