Handling The 'Pope Mobile'.

In June 2003, as confirmation of the renowned reputation of the JAS group with respect to high standards and service reliability, JAS (Jet Air Service) Italy was entrusted with the transport of the Holy Father’s car, also known as the “Pope Mobile”, from the Vatican City up to Bratislava (Slovakia). This special transport was carried out by Nicolini, a JAS trucking Partner Company, on the occasion of his Holiness John Paul II’s hundredth journey outside the Holy City.

Security was a critical factor and as such a series of safety measures were put in place and strictly met by Nicolini’s staff in order to ensure a smooth and on-time delivery of the Holy Father's car to Bratislava. An escort service was provided throughout the journey by two patrols, from Rome up to the Italian border, and from there up to Bratislava with the support of the local Slovakian police.
