10 things to know about Jung Sky
NOTE: There is a more recent version of this article, it can be found on THIS LINK.
Although we are an airline company founded almost 12 years ago (November 2009) and have been part of business aviation since 2011, it’s not rare our sales department receives questions like:
How many aircrafts do you have?
What type of jets do you have?
You have your own pilots?
Where are you based?
Do you have your own OCC department?
…etc.
Don’t get us wrong, this is something pretty understandable. The business aviation market is so immense and diverse that, no matter how often we communicate with our clients and passengers, it’s definitely not realistic to expect everyone will remember every single detail about us or any other business aviation operator.
So, in the spirit of getting to know us a little bit better or just establishing some facts that could be of service to you - our clients, current or potential, here are 10 things to know about Jung Sky:
