Minor Aviation expands into executive jets

Tycoon William Heinecke, known for his Minor empire, has expanded into another line of business _ executive jet charters. The American-born executive with Thai nationality yesterday launched Minor Aviation Co (MA) offering business jet charter service in Thailand.
The business is targeted at corporate, well-to-do leisure and VIP travellers who need speed, convenience, luxury, exclusivity and security in air transport.
Set up as a privately owned undertaking, Minor Aviation is one of two business jet charter service providers in Thailand, and was the first to secure the licence to operate unscheduled charter air service from the Department of Civil Aviation early this year.
Mr Heinecke sees the venture as a tool to help executives and VIPs maximise time and overcome other limitations.
MA's current destinations include Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, India, the Maldives and Sri Lanka.With the arrival of the Citation X, the company aims to offer longer-haul routes to the Middle East or Hong Kong.
