SKYJET INTERNATIONAL the business jet charter service division of
Bombardier hosted perhaps the oddest media briefing at Farnborough.
In fact it was not a press conference as such, more a gathering of old
friends at a cheese and wine party with a brass band supplying the
background music. Not any old brass band mind you. This one was the
brass section of the Royal Opera House Orchestra. The connection with
Farnborough (other than a splendid rendition of those Magnificent Men
in their Flying Machines) is that Skyjet International, which claims
to be the world”s first truly global business jet charter operation,
also offers its clients a concierge service which naturally includes
some great opera houses, Covent Garden being the obvious choice in the
UK. Vertu, the up-market phone company are also involved.
