CASE STUDY
JETSETTERS TRAVEL IN STYLE @ EXETER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Vehicle Save Contract Hire & Leasing Limited has teamed up with Exeter International Airport to provide a superior minibus for the Corporate Aviation clients to transfer VIP passengers between their private aircraft and the airport terminal. The former vehicle utilised by the Exeter Airport Corporation Aviation Department (ECA) was outdated and did not reflect the standard of service demanded by the high profile clients which includes the rich and famous...
Background:
The largest airport in the South West, Exeter International Airport provides convenient access to the city of Exeter and to other areas of Devon together with Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset. The Airport has quick and easy access to major road networks which connect Exeter to Plymouth, Taunton and on to Bristol. The region has it all when it comes to business or leisure accommodation from excellent shooting lodges to luxury country hotels.
ECA is Exeter Airport’s dedicated corporate aviation facility for private aircraft providing a complete corporate aviation package with a VIP lounge and full crew facilities. The experienced team is on hand to provide weather briefings and slot information, promptly organising ground handling arrangements, cleaning, catering, refuelling, baggage and aircraft handling.
ECA not only provide aircraft to terminal transport, there is also a private VIP lounge and gourmet catering for aircraft provided by local celebrity chef, John Burton-Race. The small team deal with UK and overseas royalty, many of whom enjoy the country pursuits of the region and well known celebrity clients which have recently included artist Damien Hirst, airline boss Sir Richard Branson and American rapper Kanye West.
Process:
With extensive experience and expertise gained in the industry, Jim Howard Managing Director of Vehicle Save Contract Hire & Leasing worked closely with ECA to establish their full requirements to ensure that the client got the right type of vehicle for their needs, The 9-seater people carrier based on a Renault Master was originally designed for the military and has substantial baggage capacity but with its smooth and comfortable ride is ideally suited for the needs of the airport and its Corporate Aviation passengers.
Chris Beer, Corporation Aviation Manager said: “We are here to ensure our passengers have a seamless, if brief, use of the airport. We are constantly on hand to cater for every requirement and our client have high expectations. The new vehicle helps us offer our high profile passengers the facility they expect and the feedback has been very positive.”
Outcome:
As an independent and local company, Vehicle Save Contract Hire & Leasing has the flexibility to provide a bespoke service tailored to the individual requirements of the client executed with a high level of personal service and customer care.
Managing Director of Exeter International Airport Jamie Christon said: “The Corporate Aviation department was set up two years ago when we recognised that our private jet clients expect a different kind of service; and it has proved a resounding success. Our Master Plan strategy states that we wish to work with local independent companies wherever possible and we are delighted to be supported by Vehicle Save Contract Hire & Leasing who have provided a first class service.”
