First Class Cars to urge - book your ground transportation early – for the London Olympics.

Thursday 12th January 2012

UK luxury ground transportation specialist First Class Cars is returning as an exhibitor at next week's NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference in San Diego, California (Booth 130)

As the premier provider to UK business jet operators and FBOs in the UK, CEO Graham Coate will take the opportunity to talk up their service offering, new additions to the fleet and advise them that hand in hand with booking their arrival and departure slots early for clientele wishing to come to the UK for the Olympics in July - they need to determine their ground transportation arrangements too.

"Many VIPs that we drive into central London will be destined for the main hotels in Mayfair and Belgravia and this is where the dedicated Olympic lanes (for sponsors' vehicles) will start. As a member of the Licensed Private Hire Car Association (LPHCA) we are already lobbying the relevant committees responsible for the routings to ensure that business aviation clientele disembarking from their jets can still receive the usual high standards of customer care and ease of access when it comes to ground transportation over this period."

First Class Cars owns a 30-strong fleet of vehicles including the S-Class Mercedes saloon, Mercedes Viano, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, plus (popular with US clientele) the Rolls-Royce Phantom. All vehicles in its fleet are immaculate in sleek black and beautifully appointed inside with sumptuous leather and wood finish. In the first half of the year it will be adding a further eight luxury vehicles to the fleet, ready for the Olympics.

Marking its 12th anniversary this year, First Class Cars uses a state-of-the-art vehicle tracking system, which provides updates of vehicle positions every 60 seconds. Upon taking a booking, it can despatch a vehicle within two to three minutes and has the flexibility to manage vehicle movements effectively, avoiding unexpected delays. Also, key to serving the demanding business jet market, the company uses a sophisticated flight tracking system, enabling it to monitor the precise arrival times of jets, saving clients and charter brokers waiting time and cost.

Headquartered at both London Luton and London Stansted Airports, First Class Cars regularly serves clients at London Airports - Luton, Stansted, Biggin Hill, Heathrow and Gatwick, RAF

Northolt and Farnborough. It boasts a discerning clientele from the music and film industries, who demand a high level of service, together with numerous blue chip companies. First Class Cars also has global connections through affiliates worldwide.
