Meet the founders.
We've earned our stripes over 30 years in the skies and we've loved every mile of the journey.
When two fly-boys jumped in the cockpit at the Jersey Aero Club over 30 years ago, we felt the same shivers down our spine that we do today, Flying is still our life and we are happiest when we are in our element. Whether we are behind the stick of world class aircraft or directing operations on the ground, we are fuelled by passion for the industry that we love.
Our three co-founders have over 30 years experience in the aviation industry with first-hand knowledge of directing operations in the air and on the ground for both private and commercial operators. Our seasoned directors are fluent in everything from engineering and in-flight operations to the legal and regulatory requirements of aircraft ownership, to the commercial charter side of the business that fuels the engines and keeps our aircraft in the skies.
We are officially recognised by Aviation Authorities and regulatory bodies around the world as one of the safest and credible operators in the industry.
