Luxaviation Helicopters, a member of the Luxaviation Group (Booth T70), has formed an agreement with Azur Hélicoptère to provide helicopter transfers to private jet clients end destinations in the South of France. Azur has bases at Nice Cote d’ Azur and Cannes Mandelieu Airports, and it will provide service to Luxaviation and its subsidiary Execujet’s customers. Elodie Mehkmoukh, Azur’s sales manager, will coordinate all charter requests, while operating the Luxaviation charter desk on the French Riviera.

“Azur Hélicoptère was our first choice for a partnership on the Cote d’ Azur due to their long-term establishment in the area, their high level of quality, safety and client support,” said Charlotte Pedersen, Luxaviation Helicopters' CEO. “We look to partner with companies which match our own high standards in private aviation, and those with which we can establish a long-term relationship to greatly benefit our clients.”

In return, Azur’s clients will have access to Luxaviation’s fleet of more than 260 aircraft, 25 FBOs, and 14 maintenance centers spread throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

“This major partnership marks an exciting time for our business and our clients,” noted Azur president Michel de Rohozinski. “We look forward to working closely with Luxaviation to provide an outstanding service in the South of France, and we will work together to develop our client service, operational support, and future business developments.”
