How Private is your Private Jet?

How private is your Private Jet? 

Leading air charter provider, Execflyer have teamed up with Pinnacle Risk Management to provide bug sweeping services for clients who need re-assurance that their aircraft cabin is 100% secure.

Jamie Dickson, head of charter stated that, “We have seen increased demand for security on board our charter aircraft, as well as a requirement to provide the same service for private owners. A recent high profile case in the media has highlighted some of the techniques used in order to secure exclusive stories. As a result, we are addressing the question of security in an environment that we all assume to be watertight. On one aircraft turn around engineers, caterers and handling staff could potentially access an aircraft cabin. In an ideal world we would trust that everyone within the perimeter of an airport anywhere on a global scale has been security checked. However there is always the risk that someone is paid a substantial amount to bug an aircraft cabin. Highly sensitive conversations take place in this environment, hence the launch of this service.”

Pinnacle Director, Matt Croucher added that “The methods employed by media and corporations to gain the inside track on a deal, celebrity movements etc have become increasingly sophisticated. The latest transmitters are difficult to identify, though here at Pinnacle we have invested significantly in equipment to find such devices. One high profile client found a tracker under his car, after he became suspicious that the media always knew his whereabouts. A growing proportion of our business now is ensuring privacy for high profile individuals and corporates, and we are very pleased to now be helping Execflyer’s private jet clients”.
