ADVANTAGES

CONTROL YOUR SCHEDULE WITH FLEXIVLE, DISCRET AND COST-EFFICIENT AVIATION SOLUTIONS

Private aviation offers you complete control of your schedule, whether it’s transporting crew and equipment, or discreetly moving a celebrity name. There are no public terminals, baggage queues, or arriving two hours before a flight. Private airports and terminals provide privacy and discretion, as well as connecting remote destinations, and reducing the length of any ground transfers. Forget about restrictive baggage allowances or having to leave the pets at home. Every aspect of a flight is carefully tailored, down to specialized catering and vehicle ramps that ensure access from aircraft to venue.

Change is an inherent part of the entertainment industry. Our consultative approach offers the flexibility to change your schedule at a moment’s notice. As a player in the global aviation marketplace, we have intimate knowledge of what aircraft are available where. So when your schedule changes, there’s always an on-time and on-demand travel solution.

AVIATION SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR SECTOR

The Aviation Company is proud to count various major music labels on our roll of clients. One of these had a major talent who had been offered a last-minute opportunity to promote her upcoming album on a late-night television show. Unfortunately, she also had to be in remote Mexico the next morning for a video shoot. Rescheduling a big shoot wasn’t financially viable and the closest commercial airport was some five hours drive from the filming location. It seemed like the television exposure would be a lost opportunity. PJS worked with Mexican customs and aviation authorities to extend the curfew of a local airport. With merely two hours’ notice, the Flight Concierge sourced an aircraft and crew, along with a police escort, that brought the talent directly from her television appearance to a private FBO. She was in the air within an hour of the show’s completion and had a bed for getting some rest. Touching down in Mexico, PJS sourced a twin-engine helicopter to bring the star to her music shoot by 8am and meet the deadline.
