The Jet Business
In January 2012 Varsano launched The Jet Business, the world's first corporate aviation showroom in London, UK. The Jet Business is situated on Hyde Park Corner located between Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Mayfair. Varsano is quoted in Business Jet Traveler Magazine[6][6][6] as saying 'My idea was to have a place where clients could really get a feel for the space. I had sketches, lists, a business plan I kept refining. I knew that I would need a super combination of environment, technology and information to make it worth the client coming in'
The Jet Business[7][7][7] uses a store-front concept[8][8][8]. The Jet Business uses an iPad App[9][9][9] to help customers evaluate aircraft options and more recently (December, 2012) developed an Cabin Interior Completion App to improve the client experience. The showroom contains a full-size mock-up[11][11][11] of an Airbus ACJ319 cabin that fills the window and life-size schematics of a range of corporate jets can be viewed on a 26 ft video wall.
