AUSTRIAN ARTISAN: GENERATIONS OF HERITAGE, ART AND HUNTING
We have the pleasure of being featured in Porch & Prarie the in-flight magazine of Nicholas Air, one of the most innovative private aviation companies in the world. US based Nicholas Air owns and operates a new fleet of the most desired aircrafts in the industry (from Pilatus PC-12s, Phenom 100/300, Citation CJ3+ and Citation Latitude to Challenger 350 & Gulfstream G600 jets), and provides an unparalleled level of personal service to a refined set of private flyers.
What makes them truly unique, is, that they are the most outdoor-pursuit-friendly brand in the industry and ensure to deliver exceptional safety, reliability & convenience to numerous hunters, ranch owners, hunting camps, who prefer traveling with their own guns and their hunting dogs. In fact, ”on two-thirds of Nicholas air flights you’ll see dogs on board“, says president Peder von Harten ”and for us they are part of the family“. Porch & Prairie magazine, consequently, is a very special magazine devoted to authentic experiences and values that are at „the heart of our American heritage“, so Peder v Harten.
