Aircraft handling partners enjoy mountain picnic
17th November 2006
Normally more accustomed to pacing the hallways of Nice Airport repping
flights for ATA and CF executive / VIP flights, Chapman Freeborn’s
Herve Marin opted for the fresher air of the mountains for a hike and picnic
with our handling colleagues in Aviapartner.Herve took a number of Aviapartner
personnel into the Vallee des Merveilles, and on another occasion into the
Vallée de la Vésubie et de la Tinée, the most beautiful mountain areas you
can find in the vicinity of Nice and close to the Italian border.
Healthy Hervé organises mountain hikes on a regular basis with Aviapartner personnel, and they brought their families too including children who were climbing like goats on the rocks and generally making the grown-ups look very unfit!
Even though the weather was beautiful and the air temperature fine, the lakes were still frozen in parts and looked beautiful and the guests did not require their Chapman Freeborn anoraks, apart from for warmth at the cooler peaks. These events are not only good for consolidating our relationship with the local Aviapartner team but also good for our health and – great fun!
