When the client added extra passengers at the last minute, we pulled out all the stops to get the charter off the ground.
Helping retired NHL players visit a remote community school
We received an online private jet charter enquiry for five retired hockey players, who were flying from Winnipeg to a remote community school in Ontario to share their experiences and play hockey with the pupils. With a short lead time to get this charter off the ground, our experts set about finding the best solution for the client’s budget.
Our Solution
Routes: Winnipeg > Pickle Lake > Winnipeg
Aircraft: Pilatus PC-12
Responding within minutes, we called the client to discuss their request in more detail. After scanning the market for available aircraft, our team sourced a single-engine turboprop that could land at smaller airports and had a generous luggage hold for the players’ sports kit.
The group arrived at the departure airport with three extra hockey players, who wanted to join the trip to make it extra special for the schoolchildren. Thanks to our team’s strong relationship with the airline, we were able to arrange additional seats on the aircraft at short notice, pulling off the charter against the odds.
