Sabreliner crew to attempt world record flight

3 March 2010

On 19 March Capt Riccardo Mortara and his crew will set off from Geneva in a Sabreliner business jet on a mission to set the record for the fastest flight around the world. As well as 62-year-old Italian, the crew includes 26-year-old Frenchman Flavien Guderzo and 43-year-old Croatian Tom Zorman. They will be joined by Nicolae Buzaianu, who is also a chairman of Swiss energy company Selectra, which is sponsoring this record attempt.

If their Sabreliner - a 30-year-old midsize mainstream jet - can circumnavigate the globe in under 67h 1min 10s it will fly into the history books. The current record is held by the late Steve Fossett, who completed the course in his Virgin GlobalFlyer in 2005 in this same category.
