Took a look inside London's private jet scene for @CityAM . Expect billionaires, mega-deals and secretive trips from corporate executives. It follows mine and @GulliverNeedham 's story last week on the Asda brothers' private jets flying to the Carribean.

The prior Hackney tender was seen as highly controversial by some and we've seen correspondence showing legal concerns were raised against the council. “There was a strong sense the rules were not being followed and the winner was predestined," one source said.
