Avro Business Jet Concept Planes by Design Q

Filed under: Wings

When someone mentions having a barbecue deck, they aren't usually talking about an outdoor deck on their plane. Yet that's a possibility presented by the Explorer One concept drawn up by UK firm Design Q for BAE Systems' Avro Business Jet (ABJ). One of five different concepts that BAE and Design Q will unveil for the ABJ, each will cater to a different slice of the VIP segment.

At the rear of the cabin, the side of the fuselage open and an elevated Air Deck platform extends. BAE says it's for "the high net worth individual who wants the freedom to travel and explore remote locations in a stylish and comfortable way." Think a mix of Hemingway and Thomas Crown – hunters of both big game and big business.

After bagging beasts, the interior is meant to make you forget about more trying endeavors with a lounge and ottoman, curved sofas, a white marble floor and a dining vestibule where you can take your seared buffalo in peace. The other Explorer concepts will be revealed over the next few months, but this one isn't a bad way to fly or safari.

Vince Neil, the lead singer of Motley Crüe isn't the rock star I would peg to be a successful mogul but he seems to have his fingers in a lot of different businesses. He's launched wine and tequila brands and now he's got his own fleet of private jets. Vince Neil Aviation is launching out of McCarran Airport's Signature Terminal in Las Vegas. Robin Leach reports that Neil has a Hawker 700, a Lear 35 and a Gulfstream which all are tricked out with rock and roll-themed furnishings and painted flames on the fuselage. The plan is to promote the jets for use on luxurious short hops in and out of Sin City. Vince will provide the pilots and flight attendants for the private charter trips. The new flight service plans to open soon and details on price aren't available yet. So, will you be flying the Vince skies?

JetDirect Aviation

MSNBC has an article from the St. Louis Business Journal about private plane options in that region. As we have seen in other areas, many companies are using fractional and charter flight services and are considering the use of very light jets. Every time an article like this runs I learn about a new jet service. This time it is JetDirect Aviation a growing company backed by a couple of Philadelphia-based investors. They recently acquired St. Louis-based JetCorp and now offer 33 charter aircraft based in the Northeast and Midwest, as well as two full service FBOs, and two advanced maintenance facilities. They offer a variety of flight options for six to 13 people, from a Eurocopter to a Gulfstream IV. As charter and private jet businesses increase and many of the smaller light jets only go for shorter distance, the role of Midwest hubs will take on prime importance.
