City Star Executive to launch Aberdeen - Houston flights
05.09.07
City Star Executive has announced plans to launch a business only scheduled service between Aberdeen Airport and Houston, Texas. A spokesman for the airline said that there is big demand for the introduction of a direct link connecting two important oil cities.
The service will operate four times a week between Aberdeen Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, and will launch in January 2008. Specific information on flight times and fares will be announced in the coming weeks, while the airline discusses options and opportunities with the large number of companies and executives anticipated to use the service, a spokesman said.
Atli Arnason, CEO of City Star Airlines, said: 'Aberdeen is Europe's Oil & Gas Capital, and Houston is the United States' Oil & Gas Capital. With increasing demands on management time and performance, the airline recognises how much business executives appreciate opportunities for increased productivity. Where time is money, City Star Executive aims to offer executives in both locations a highly attractive solution - and direct from Scotland.'
The airline plans to operate the non-stop flights using a Boeing 757 - 200ER VIP Business Jet Aircraft, with 50 1st class cradle seats and a relaxing 'home from home' lounge area.
Mr. Amason added: 'City Star Executive aims to offer a simple executive service, a simple onboard service with specially selected menus of exquisite cuisine and carefully selected wines, a simple ground service, a simple fare structure, a simple connection between the two cities without the need to change aircraft in London or Amsterdam, with a focus on flexibility and convenience and customer preferences - all this from your local airport.'
'City Star Airlines already links Aberdeen Airport with major Norwegian Oil and Gas, business and shipping destinations. It made sense for City Star Executive to offer this wider business community another choice to fly executives between pairs of cities, for the first time ever, making connections possible between Stavanger (as well as Olso, Bergen, Kristiansund and Alesund) via Aberdeen Airport to Houston Intercontinental Airport.'
Aberdeen Airport Managing Director, Kevin Brown said: 'The introduction of Aberdeen's first ever long-haul flight is a major milestone in the history of this region and a statement of intent from our airline partners on their commitment to providing unrivalled choice and opportunities.'
