Although it is said that "business is business," I believe you will agree that there are some long-term business partnerships that go beyond a simple trade in products or services. I had the honor and pleasure of attending the 45th anniversary celebration of General Aviation Service, where I met many of the most well-known individuals in the industry. The quality of the relationships and interactions, particularly the human ones, impressed me. Given that I've known a few of them for decades, I felt it was important to ask some questions about their cooperation with GAS. Here are key points of the conversation with Rick Hooper, the Vistajet Ground Operations Manager: 

T.O. Rick, do you remember when and how Vistajet and General Aviation Service collaboration started?

R.H. I think, can’t guarantee, VJ were already using GAS when I took on the role in 2011.  My predecessor spoke very highly of them then and said there was no need to change, the longer I have known Juan and the guys I can only agree on how right he was.

T.O. How would you describe long-term relationships between Vista and General Aviation Service ?

R.H. Excellent, no other words for it.  The service has always been outstanding, the communications between us always prompt and accurate, the pricing always very fair, resulting in superb value for money.  Behind the scenes the relationship is also at the highest level.

T.O. As we're mmeting during 45th anniversary celebration, what you would wish for next 45 years of General Aviation Service?

R.H. More of the same from our side.  I wish them all the luck in the world, however I won’t be seeing much past their 50 year point, if that!!
