Grossmann Jet Service heads for Cannes with iPads, egg cookers and waffles
Grossmann Jet Service, the Prague-based executive jet operator, is preparing to base an aircraft outside the central and eastern European (CEE) region for the first time.

Grossmann Jet Service, the Prague-based executive jet operator, is preparing to base an aircraft outside the central and eastern European (CEE) region for the first time.

From the start of July it is basing its six-seat Citation CJ2, the newest addition to its management fleet, in Cannes, south of France for the summer, along with supporting crew. "We are seeing increased demand from our clients for trips to the Mediterranean – for business and leisure," said ceo Dagmar Grossmann. "We will also be marketing the aircraft in Montenegro, Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast – the new hot spots for high net worth individuals who want quick access to their yachts."

The aircraft will operate from both Cannes and Olbia in Italy with an ideal range of around 1,200 nm enabling direct flights from the Mediterranean bases to destinations including Istanbul, Larnaca, Kiev, London and Casablanca. The aircraft will also be well placed to offer charters within the popular 'Mediterranean banana', covering Malaga, along the coast to Barcelona, Cannes and the Amalfi coast of Italy.

"This is the first time Grossmann Jet has based an aircraft outside of the CEE region. It reflects the increased amount of business being carried out in the region by CEE businesses and reinforces our strategy to bring East and West together and make private flying more convenient and accessible," she added. Grossmann Jet also operates a Legacy 600 and Hawker 900XP.

All of the company's aircraft are fitted with onboard special egg cookers that produce 'excellent soft boiled eggs', and state-of-the-art waffle makers, creating the perfect breakfast. iPads on all the jets are another recent useful addition, providing in-flight entertainment with movies, eBooks, music videos, games and newspapers.
