With the busy lifestyle we all lead, time is a valuable commodity that few families can afford.

This was one of the primary reason why AERO ALLIANCE was chartered to fly a family of 7 from Shoreham Airport, Sussex to Pontoise, Paris.  The brief was to fly the family at a "reasonable hour" from their local airport to Paris for a family lunch, returning home in time for the children to be in bed, again at a reasonable hour.

With the trip planned, we scheduled the departure for 9:30.  The family arrived at 9:20 and the flight departed as scheduled.  The swift check-in and boarding was impressive, with a total of 30 yards walked between the car and the aircraft, via the 1930's art deco terminal building.

The flight time was only 50 minutes, with a direct routing over the English Channel, Passing Dieppe, Rouen and Evereux, allowing for a relaxing sit back in the leather seats with the complimentary champagne for the special occassion.

Once at Pontoise Aeroport, the aircraft parked around 10 yards from the awaiting car, which was ready to whisk the family into the centre of Paris, where the restaurant was already booked.  The 3 minute transfer and lack of "Big Airport Chaos" allowed for maximising the families experience of Paris and not of the airport.

The return flight was scheduled for around 19:00 local time, with the agreement that the pilot and aircraft waited on standby for the whole day, being ready to return at a moments notice.  All the passenger had to do was text the pilot when they were in the taxi on their way to the aircraft and that would ensure another 3 minute transfer was guaranteed.

And as promised this was so.  The aircraft departed at 18:50 local time, with the same swift direct flight back to the UK.  A 55 minute flight with 10 minutes taxiing landed the family back in Sussex at 18:55.  The passengers were greated by AERO ALLIANCE's own operations staff who guided them back to their awaiting cars. The short drive back from their local airport allowed the children to get home in time for bed, despite the epic day out they had experienced.
