BGAD 10

The PrivateFly team spent an enjoyable and very production day at BGAD 10 – Business & General Aviation Day – at Marshall Airport Cambridge on Tuesday 21st July. As always at aviation industry events, the private jets and other aircraft themselves were a highlight, particularly in the early autumn sunshine. Embraer’s Lineage 1000 was a big draw for most visitors, the largest of the aircraft on display, capable of flying 19 passengers and 3 crew, with a lavish high-spec section interior divided into multiple sections; including a lounge, full fitted bathroom with shower and a double bedroom.

The Embraer Lineage 1000 is a converted airliner E190, which fits between a regional airliner and a long haul airliner (and very popular with the airlines that currently fly it, including Flybe and Jet Blue). This concept of converting airliners into business jets seems to be working well for Embraer, the success of their Legacy (converted ERJ145) is testament to this.

PrivateFly’s stand couldn’t quite compete with the Lineage in terms of luxury fittings, but also proved a popular stopping point. It was a great opportunity to meet up with operators from our network as well as other industry contacts – and to showcase our innovative online platform which connects charter operators with private jet customers and the travel trade.
