ZU-ALS Sling HW
The big, comfortable cruiser
The largest most comfortable plane in our fleet. As a high wing aircraft, she is inherently more stable in turbulent conditions compared to low wing aircraft making her ideal for those whose passengers are a little more sensitive to motion sickness. She also has extremely easy entry and exit of the plane whether you sit at the front making her ideal for pilots and passengers where that matters. A particularly big benefit though is the large amounts of headroom for the rear passengers meaning even tall passengers feel comfortable. As the newest aircraft from Sling, she incorporates all their advances and represents the culminations of nearly two decades of experience and many thousands of hours of research and development.
