At Chabé, our expertise extends far beyond French borders. With 18 offices and a trusted network of partners, we deliver private chauffeur services all over the world.
In Barcelona, as in many major cities, we organise bespoke mobility solutions to meet the expectations of the most prestigious clients.
It was in this context that Jean Jacques Martin, Director of Chabé Spain, and his team were called upon for an exceptional mission at Barcelona’s private airport.
To welcome a high-profile client accompanied by his family and bodyguards, the Spanish team carefully prepared a secure convoy with several luxury vehicles, ensuring a seamless service from the moment the client stepped off the plane.
Jean Jacques Martin explains: « Everything had been planned down to the smallest detail, but at the last minute, the announcement of a head of state’s arrival disrupted our entire setup.
Heads of state travel with official vehicles equipped with advanced technology that neutralises nearby electronic signals—a security protocol designed to eliminate any potential threat. But this measure had an unexpected consequence: the Mercedes S-Class we had specially reserved for our client became completely unusable.«
With the private jet moments from landing, there was no time to lose. Jean Jacques Martin quickly mobilised his network and made a series of urgent calls to find an identical vehicle and have it delivered on site within minutes.
Thanks to this swift coordination, the replacement was carried out discreetly—just in time for the client’s arrival. When he exited the terminal, everything was perfectly in place, and the journey went exactly as planned.
This mission perfectly illustrates our ability to anticipate and react with agility—echoing the recent launch of Chabé Spain, ready to meet every demand for luxury mobility across the Iberian Peninsula.
