Nantes, France-Based company Will Utilize The Airplane For Executive Transportation
Nantes, France-based Abalone Group has acquired a TBM 850 Elite Model 2013 – Daher-Socata’s latest very fast turboprop aircraft – which will be operated for long-distance trips with company executives and managers. The announcement was made at this week’s European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geveva’s Palexpo center.
“We have been working on this project for the past year in conjunction with our business development plan, with the full understanding that while regular trips are needed, they are time-consuming and create stress and fatigue,” explained Sacha Moutel, project manager at the Abalone Group. “The TBM 850 Elite will help us increase our productivity, bringing the best in private aircraft travel together with rapid en-route times and highly cost-efficient operations.”
He added that a corporate airplane ensures access to cities which are underserved or not serviced at all by scheduled direct commercial flights, and opens small airports that are convenient and closer to the final destination. Additionally, such travel allows the company to set its own schedules while reducing airport processing and formalities.
“We are proud that a dynamic company such as the Abalone Group has selected our TBM 850 Elite for its corporate transportation needs,” stated Nicolas Chabbert, the Senior Vice President of Daher-Socata’s Airplane Division. “This aircraft will provide projection capability to Abalone executives throughout Europe, contributing to the company’s growth.”
