A variety of aircraft filled the hangers and ramp space at Premier Jet.
“It’s great to see these new aircraft up close, to sit in them and be able to talk to factory representatives,” said Neil Jones, one of the more than 1,400 guests who attended the event.
McClellan/Palomar was the location of the Saab Business Aircraft & Jet Preview held Sept. 7 at the new facilities of Premier Jet. Twenty-seven aircraft were on display, along with the newly certified Sino Swearingen, which joined the Jet Preview for the first time.
Inflight Services provided food. WealthTV, a lifestyle and entertainment network in high-definition television, covered the event, and featured several interviews with aircraft manufacturers.
Airport Journals receives increasingly positive comments from the exhibitors that they are selling aircraft and that the quality of the attendees are superb. The attendees are impressed with the many new offerings from the industry, very complimentary of the catering, and grateful to Saab for providing such a quality event, which includes test drives in the full lineup of Saab cars.
