The Private Jet People
Global reach with local knowledge
In private jet aviation it is not all about the plane, it is about people’s knowledge, experience, networks and discretion, along with a deep understanding of each clients needs and wants.
If you fly on a regular basis, enjoy travelling in comfort and are looking for complete freedom to go when you wish, having a private jet at your service makes all this possible.
It is our mission to ensure your travel is no longer perceived as a chore, but rather as an experience that is enjoyable, safe, and relaxing. With staff who have been in the private jet aviation business for over 30 years, we managed numerous different travel requirements and look forward to assisting you with yours.
We operate under a fully accredited NZ Civil Aviation licence. We also operate under the ANZA Certificate which enables us to fly within Australia, so your journey with us does not need to stop in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne but can carry on to Darwin, Perth or Alice Springs.
Whether you are a rock star, businessperson, travelling with family or indeed all three we put the private into private jets and deliver you discretely, safely and in a timely manner.
Our backyard
New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific are full of wonderful destinations that range from the wild and exotic, to the energetic outdoors, to great business opportunities, to relaxing and meditative time out.
