13 November 2023: The Smart Team flew six loyal Liverpool F.C. fans from Biggin Hill to Liverpool Airport yesterday so they could watch The Reds beat Brentford 3-0 in a Premier League match. The passengers travelled in style in a state-of-the-art Pilatus PC-12 NGX chartered from Silver Aviation. 

Following a short wait in the luxurious Jetex London departure suite, the group were guided on board for a prompt take-off. The operation from arrival to departure was seamless. The flight departed at 10.30 a.m. UK time and took an hour to Liverpool Airport, with Smart closely watching the flight throughout. 

Silver Aviation’s brand-new PC-12 exceeded the client’s expectations, as did the exceptional service on board. Flown by two of Silver Aviation’s senior pilots, the PC-12 is known as the ‘world’s greatest single-engine turboprop’, with a safety record on par with twin-engine jets due to the latest technology in navigation, safety and situational awareness. The innovative design of the aircraft means it is one of the world’s greenest methods of air travel, releasing three times less CO2 than a light jet and seven times less than a long range jet. The digitally controlled turbo prop engine saves both fuel and cost.

Hawkins said: “Silver Aviation was a joy to work with. The client was delighted with the comfort and design of the interior cabin, inspired by BMW Designworks. The cabin in the PC-12 is so modern, and the full recline executive seats really are in a league of their own, hand stitched and made from the finest European leather. On arrival back into Biggin Hill, the client advised that they were very impressed with the WIFI entertainment system. The group had pre-ordered their inflight meals and were served a delicious breakfast of pastries and fresh fruit with champagne, followed by an individual selection box of gourmet sandwiches on the return journey.”
