Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group: “Reading is an invitation to travel, and we are very proud to provide all travel lovers with a coffee table book on private aviation passing on Luxaviation’s passion for flying.” The Luxury of Private Aviation was first unveiled in Milan on 24th April 2022 during an exclusive weekend organised by Luxaviation Group and La Fugue on the occasion of a recital by George Harliono at the Villa Medici Giulini, home to a splendid, unique collection of antique musical instruments.

Edited by publishing house teNeues Verlag, the volume also illustrates the story of André Ganshof van der Meersch (1927-2003), who started the first European private aviation company Abelag at Brussels airport in 1964 which has since become one of the keystones of Luxaviation Group. The large-format coffee table book has a beautiful hardcover made of black coated linen and a contrasting light blue fore-edge.
