Hublot helipad: A reality, May 2013
On Thursday 23rd May 2013, Monaco helipads marked with Hublot’s stylised “H” were unveiled in the presence of HSH the Prince Albert II of Monaco and Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot.
The initiative was developed and led by the prestigious company Monacair, the official transporter of HSH the Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco, which has teamed up with Hublot to offer anyone arriving in Monaco by helicopter during the Grand Prix week – VIPs, guests, stables, drivers, press, as well as residents and visitors – a personalised welcome, complete with red carpet and a small signature gift courtesy of Hublot and Monacair.
Since it was founded in 1988, Monacair has earned the prestigious title of Official Supplier to HSH the Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco in 1999. Monacair is now world-renowned for its experience and professionalism in personalised VIP service.
It seems Hublot have had the last laugh.
