HAVERFORDWEST Airport was paid a visit by a Hawker 4000 Horizon, luxury private jet on the weekend. the jet remained on the airfield until Tuesday (Feb 9) due to the stormy conditions.
Over the weekend an 18-tonne private jet landed in Haverfordwest which stirred quite a fuss among locals.
Many spotted the jet as it stood out proud on the strip, as it was over double the size of the usual jets the airport welcomes. Some Pembrokeshire residents contacted the Control Tower to ask for more details.
Sworn to not distribute confidential information their mouths were kept shut with the controllers only revealing that it was a wealthy business man who came to visit Pembrokeshire.
They said: “We often get other business people who travel to the refineries land here after taking private jets from major airports across the country.”
“The only difference is with this one you can stand up and walk around, rather than having to be seated.”
Local resident Krystine Amer was intrigued by the plane and popped into the airports café to ask a few questions: “When enquiring of staff at the Propellers Café as to who the plane belongs to, I was told a person was driven away from it in a car with blacked out windows in Saturday!”
The Herald can confirm that the Hawker is owned by TAG AVIATION LTD who claim to: “lead the world in private and business aviation.”
The plane is stationed at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire, England. A source also said that the passenger was a Scottish business man, this has yet to be confirmed.
