Description
The Jet Republic, a new private jet airline, has announced that is to create 400 to 500 new jobs. The new private jet operator has placed a $1.5 billion order for 110 Lear jets in a bid to penetrate the European market for luxury air travel. The management said that the company will fly to more than 1,000 airports in Europe (including London, Paris, Geneva, Moscow and Milan) starting from next October.
Jet Republic has established its base in Portugal due to the country's favourable tax structure and its low cost and high skill base.
Besides the headquarters, Jet Republic also intends to build a training centre with simulation in Portugal. Jet Republic is backed by Austria’s Euram private bank and a consortium of its clients.
