Padaviation

PADAVIATION is an air charter company in Bueren, Germany. The legal name is PAD Aviation Service GmbH. It plans individual charter travel in Germany, Europe and around the world. It is a family business, and it has worked with its customers since 1996.

The company selects an aircraft for each trip. It offers modern business jets that can fly to almost any airport in the world. Trips can be for business or for leisure, such as a business trip to Barcelona or a meeting in Berlin. Many customers return, and the company says their feedback confirms its success. It also says charter makes travel easier than long scheduled flights.

Each trip comes as an all-inclusive package. That can include hotel reservations, car rental reservations and regional information. The company also provides a VIP shuttle and a personal contact for each customer. Special services such as VIP service, special catering and onboard satellite phone links are billed to the charterer when used. Customers can ask for a non-binding offer at any time.

The company's terms of business set clear rules. An offered flight is provisional until the company confirms it in writing. After that, the order depends on technical feasibility and on air traffic rights, slots and clearances from the authorities. The company may use a third party to carry out part or all of a contract. The charterer pays for de-icing when it is needed.

Safety rules put the captain in charge. The captain decides on payload, seating, baggage, route changes and where to land. Passengers must tell the captain before boarding if they carry dangerous goods, including weapons. The captain may also refuse or divert a flight if a passenger's behaviour affects the safety of others.

The terms also cover cancellation and rebooking. A cancellation fee grows in steps as departure gets closer. A flight can be rebooked free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. German law governs the charter services, and passengers have rights under EC Regulation 261/2004 for denied boarding, cancellation and long delays.
