Prague-based Grossmann Jet Service was selected for the fourth time to fly His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his entourage on a scheduled European tour this August. The spiritual leader, who made a number of public speaking appearances, was due to travel to Toulouse, Tallinn and Helsinki aboard a Legacy 600.

"It is not a matter of luck that we are escorting his Holiness again," says Dagmar Grossmann, ceo and founder. "The Dalai Lama's secretary has worked with us before and recognises our dedication."

Grossmann Jet says it was among the first business aviation companies in central Europe to enhance its services by providing customised iPads to each client on board. "We are one hundred per cent committed to paying close attention to client requests and changing needs. The Dalai Lama is of course one of the most distinguished clients but we like to provide the same of service to all passengers," comments Grossmann.
