TAG Aviation has introduced the first Premier Cabin Global 5000 for European charter service. Based in Paris, the ultra-long-range twinjet is the ninth business jet added to TAG Aviation Europe’s Malta AOC since authorization was awarded last year. Among TAG's AOCs, which include Switzerland, the UK, and Bahrain, the company manages more than 80 aircraft, with more than half available for charter.

“The Global 5000 business jet featuring the Premier cabin, represents a new level of refinement while delivering the industry’s smoothest ride,” said Emmanuel Bornand, the airframer’s regional v-p of sales for Western Europe. “We are delighted that TAG Aviation Europe is able to offer this next level of style and performance to their customers in Europe.”

The Global 5000 can fly 5,200 nm nonstop at a speed of Mach 0.85, connecting city pairs such as Geneva to Miami and London to Seoul, and it can operate from challenging airfields such as London City Airport. The Premier Interior package introduced on the Global 5000 and 6000 last year is based on the award-winning cabin interior developed for the Global 7500.

“As leaders in the provision of aircraft management and charter services, we are extremely pleased to be the first to make this prestigious, high-performance Global 5000 business jet available to our customers in Europe,” said Florent Series, TAG Europe’s vice president for sales and marketing.
