Blacklane, the global chauffeur service provider, announced a partnership with Global Airlines which will initially entitle all first class and business class passengers to “to-and-from” airport transfers. Additionally, all Global passengers will be offered exclusive perks such as discounts and special offers to use the Blacklane service.
Founded in 2021, the airline has acquired its first A380 aircraft. It is currently working with Airbus to confirm the arrangements and approvals to fly the plane to a European facility in the coming weeks. It will then undergo further refurbishment and continue its overhaul work before entering service in the coming months. The carrier’s stated mission is to return passengers to the Golden Age of Travel.
Blacklane is operational in over 50 countries and claims to be the first in the industry to fully carbon offset its operations with a target of making 50% of their fleet electrical by next year.
James Asquith, Global’ s CEO, said the carrier is working with companies who want to deliver the very best service to passengers “and in Blacklane we have a partner who will do exactly that.” Blacklane, he said, “will offer the perfect stress-free start to a journey with Global and I am hopeful that to-and-from airport transfers, along with some other exciting announcements we have coming up, will persuade even more passengers to fly with Global Airlines.”
Sascha Meskendahl, CRO (Chief Revenue Officer) of Blacklane, said the partnership “is a logical next step for our business as an increasing number of travelers are using our limousines to and from the airport, especially as the business travel market booms.”
