22 May 2024: Smart’s VIP charter team is gearing up for a busy weekend of private jet charters to the 2024 Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, which takes place on Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo at 2 p.m (UK time) on Sunday, 26th May.

Smart’s VIP charter team will be managing a number of private jet bookings for enthusiastic motor racing fans this weekend. Amongst the bookings to the Monaco Grand Prix is an eight passenger London to Nice charter, with helicopter transfers to Monte Carlo. This private jet charter is for a world-renowned actor and his family who are going to Monte Carlo and back in a day. They will fly on a spacious Embraer Legacy 600 to Nice and then transfer via a AugustaWestland 109 helicopter to Monte Carlo. This client also received the Smart touch with private luxury transfers from the heliport to the VIP yacht race viewing location. 

Another charter we have arranged is for a high-profile businessman who is attending the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of honour. He will fly with five associates on a Phenom 300 from Glasgow to Cannes, also with helicopter transfers on an AugustaWestland 109. The group will stay overnight in Monte Carlo, following a prestigious event on Sunday evening, and fly back Monday morning.

As always, our operations team will be keeping a close eye on all these flights over the weekend to ensure all goes smoothly for our clients.

The Smart Team started working on securing private jet charter slots in Nice and Cannes a few months ago, as over Grand Prix weekends, availability becomes limited and it can be challenging.

Mark Hawkins, Smart Aviation’s Managing Director, said: “We always advise our clients to book as early as possible, to ensure desired time slots can be secured. That said, we are still working on some last minute requests so it is still possible to fly by private jet to the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend. Please just contact the Smart Team as soon as possible”
