Antonia Lukacinova: Experiencing HondaJet
The Czech high-flier behind the Sapphire Pegasus business aviation awards is now making headlines as the author of JetBook.
The latest edition of the luxury aircraft and helicopter guide will be unveiled at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition, EBACE 2018, in Geneva next week ahead of its official release in summer.
“Aviation has always been a huge passion of mine, and JetBook is a book that helps the industry by making it easier to fulfill people’s dreams of owning a private jet or helicopter,” Antonia Lukacinova said.
“There is no other guide on the market that offers such a comprehensive overview of the industry today.”
The 232-page book features 55 business jets and 20 helicopters as well as exclusive photos and interviews.
“JetBook is the jewel in our crown. We intend to support it with a wealth of up-to-date articles and information about the latest aircraft, along with lifestyle articles in our upcoming JetBook Life series,” said Lukacinova, who has been working in business aviation in the Czech Republic since 2004.
She also founded the Sapphire Pegasus Awards, which honors outstanding performances by companies and individuals in business aviation.
This year’s awards will be announced at EBACE on Tuesday. The winners were chosen from 74 nominees via an online ballot by more than 60,000 voters.
