For the past few days, five-year-old Suri has been lounging around the hotel poolside with her mother, Katie. Tom, on the other hand, was busy filming his latest movie, Rock of Ages.

For this movie, Tom will be working with Alec Baldwin, Malin Akerman, Russel Brand, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

According to MTV, Lil Wayne delayed sentencing ‘to get some serious dental work done’, which equated to eight root canals in one day.

During the flight from Miami to New York (with a stop in Atlanta), DJ Scoob Doo has been documenting Wayne’s last days.

No word yet into Private Jet Daily on the company which provided Lil Wayne his ride.

Jet West, a Reno-based company, will be holding a grand opening ceremony for its Salinas Municipal FBO on Friday.

The company will offer travellers luxurious amenities in its lounge.

Airport manager Gary Peterson says that the airport is a key location for the business community. “With the support of corporate agriculture, we serve as an entry point for businesses in the community,” explained Peterson.

“If you were meeting with someone with a corporate airplane, this is a great place,” said FBO general manager Ryan Gauger.

In addition to its lounge, Jet West will also offer refueling services.

Empire Aviation Group (EAG) says that its performance in January provides a strong follow-up to its 4Q 2009 recovery.

The company said that enquiries for ‘block hours’ have increased during the first two months of 2010.

In January, EAG chartered flights to the Far East, CIS countries, Africa, Maldives, and other destinations.

Based on the statistics, the Middle Eastern region continues to dominate the private jet charter market.

The cabin design allows private jet travellers to make use of extra space by the Airbus ACJ’s wide and tall cabin. The cabin has a dining area, two seat configurations, and a lounge area.

It features top class materials, including marble, nuback, and leather. It even has electrically operated seats that can be converted into beds.

“Our goal to deliver three VVIP cabins in 2009 has been successfully achieved and demonstrates our success in becoming the specialist for Airbus Corporate Jet cabin completion,” explained Benoit Defforge, CEO of ACJC. “After two years and half in the business, we will further improve our capabilities in 2010 by delivering more cabins and offering tailored services to Airbus Corporate Jet customers.”

PRIVATE SHOPPES caters to its elusive audience of private flyers by offering top-choice products alongside revealing editorial features on select vineyards, resorts, golf courses and other jet-setter interests in its vanguard catalog and website. Both the catalog and website are uniquely designed to match the discerning tastes of the private flyer with fine products, and to allow readers to shop while on the go.

Jet charter operators, in-flight caterers and private air terminals nationwide have teamed up with PRIVATE SHOPPES to distribute the catalog throughout their facilities and onto the private aircraft they operate or serve. Over 1,000 general aviation businesses across the nation are currently receiving the PRIVATE SHOPPES, and several have augmented their shipments to meet demand.

“PRIVATE SHOPPES makes Sharper Image look like a Sears Catalog,” says Gillian Christie, CEO of Christie Communications. “Finally, a gift guide that has the best gift ideas for affluent shoppers, and the best part is that PRIVATE SHOPPES is found in-flight and is captive to your passenger audience. This is a direct marketing idea long overdue for the luxury market – I have recommended the catalog to all my luxury clients.”

The general aviation industry anticipates renewed interest across 2010 as the business jet market continues to recover, and as business aviation flight activity continues to increase over last year. While both business aviation and luxury consumer spending start to make their comebacks, PRIVATE SHOPPES executives are working to serve the rebounding market of private flyers.

Prior to launching the catalog, PRIVATE SHOPPES founders Deedee Morrison and David Bannister said they “listened to thousands of luxury product marketers and advertisers who were experiencing the diminished effects of traditional print marketing and advertising campaigns. In response, we designed a publication and an online community to exclusively showcase the best features of select vendors’ products to the largest gift-giving market in the nation – those who fly in private aircraft.”

PRIVATE SHOPPES is the only in-flight shopping catalog and website storefront targeted towards corporate and general aviation flyers.

The TV star assisted in piloting a private jet flight to Canada, where she promoted Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960 labels.

“This past Thursday, I flew to Montreal,” explained Richie. “And by flew, I mean I actually flew. My partners, Rick and Brian, let me be the co-pilot once again on their jet!”

Richie admits that she had fun and she says that everyone else on the flight felt the same way.

With its unique composite fuselage the aircraft boasts a six-foot high stand-up cabin from front to back offering the largest cabin in its class. Hawker Beechcraft has designed a quiet, comfortable environment ideally suited for working or relaxing.

Talon Air’s pilots were the first to be certified by the FAA to operate under FAR Part 135. Our flight crews are ARG/US Platinum and Wyvern approved. Last month the FAA issued Captain Fabian Neito his check airman authorization. Captain Nieto oversees the training and standardization of our Hawker 4000 pilots.

“We have a great group of pilots flying the 4000” said Captain Fabian Nieto “The pilots flying this aircraft were hand selected from our pilot group. I don’t know who enjoys the aircraft more the pilots or our passengers. Being onboard this aircraft is a pleasure no matter what seat you are in.”

With a 99 percent dispatch reliability this aircraft stands above the rest. Its performance has allowed Talon Air to operate from airports that typically can not accommodate aircraft of this size. The Hawker 4000 has opened airports with short runways to Talon’s clients such as Ocean Reef, Florida (4500 feet), Hilton Head, South Carolina (4300 feet) and East Hampton, New York (4255 feet).

With an overwhelming customer demand for this aircraft, Adam Katz, the President and CEO of Talon Air has purchased an additional Hawker 4000 from Hawker Beechcraft. The aircraft is scheduled to be delivered at the end of the first quarter 2010. To view videos of the Hawker 4000 visit the Talon Air website www.talonairjets.com

The pilot killed himself in the crash, injuring at least two other people, according to the local police.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is now examining what would lead Joseph Stack to perform a suicidal attack.

The plane was identified by the Federal Aviation Administration as a single-engine Piper Cherokee, which came from an airport in Georgetown. The plane was allowed to fly without having to contact air controllers.

The building hit housed offices for the FBI and CIA; however, there is not enough evidence to prove that it was a targeted attack.

Officials from the US Department of Homeland Security called it a deliberate criminal act.

Rumors suggest that Stack had an ongoing feud with the IRS, which was also one of the affected offices in the Austin-based building.
