Tailwind performed a passenger charter from Monterey, CA to Addison, TX using a Citation Excel. The charter passengers included two gentleman and five dogs, two of which were chocolate labs pictured here. The passengers also had a significant amount of luggage and even some small furniture pieces that Tailwind’s staff were able to quickly offload. Ground transportation to their destination was also provided. The passengers all enjoyed a smooth ride at 41,000′ and made the flight in just over three hours. Tailwind was able to secure a one-way flight, thereby saving the customer a significant amount of money over a round-trip charter.

Tailwind saves customer money

Last week Tailwind completed an urgent part-charter diversion into Barranquilla, Colombia with a critical oil field tool. Just 24 hours prior to the deadline for the equipment to be on-the-job, the shipper contacted Tailwind for a solution. Full charter was not a viable solution in this case due to a lack of availability of carriers that have blanket permits. Tailwind quickly devised a solution to divert a scheduled freighter into Barranquilla that already had traffic rights for Colombia. The results were a huge success; the tool got there before the deadline and using a part-charter diversion instead of a full charter saved the customer a substantial sum of money.
