ExecuJet wins Business Traveller Africa Award

4th September 2014

ExecuJet has won the ‘Best Private Aviation Operator’ category at the annual Business Traveller Africa Awards in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The awards, hosted by Future Group, publisher of ‘Business Traveller Africa’ magazine, reward excellence in local, regional and intercontinental business travel. The event was held in Sandton, Johannesburg at the Sun International Maslow Hotel and was attended by prominent members of the African travel industry.

Ettore Poggi, Vice President, ExecuJet Africa, says: “We are delighted to be recognised by the African travel industry for the second year running. Our charter fleet continues to grow, with the addition of a Phenom 300 and a Bell 230 helicopter this year. We are pleased to continue to be the charter company of choice in Africa.”

ExecuJet previously won the ‘Best Air Charter’ category in the 2013 Business Traveller Africa Awards.

Future Group partnered with independent research company TNS Research Surveys to question the industry and collate the results. Winners in 20 business travel categories ranged from airlines, hotels and car rental, to travel management, visa services and the foreign exchange market.

ExecuJet has a fleet of around 40 managed aircraft and helicopters in Africa. In addition, the company has award-winning FBO and maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Lagos.
