Looking for private jets to level up all your travels this summer? Here are 4 luxe aviation companies that will take your travel experience to the next level.
JETEX
For the modern traveller
Established in November 2005, this award-winning private aviation brand delivers next-level flying experiences for discerning travellers through exceptional hospitality standards that elevate luxury to a new cruising altitude (think: 5-star inflight meals from Michelin-starred restaurants and a chauffeur at the ready to whisk you to and from the Jetex private terminals). Recognised for delivering bespoke and best-in-class trip support solutions, including private terminals to global trip planning, the company caters to all kinds of travellers, including owners, corporate, commercial, or personal air travellers.
EXECUJET
For the business traveller
ExecuJet’s Private Terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport sets a new benchmark in private aviation. As the region’s first truly elevated facility, it is purpose-built for those who value time, discretion, and seamless service, offering a refined pre-flight experience – from tastefully designed private lounges and luxurious suites to a serene spa. From start to finish, every detail and moment is looked after and tailored with intention. Whether you’re flying for business or slipping away for a summer escape, every detail is meticulously orchestrated down to the finest detail, handled by a team attuned to privacy, precision, and elevated service to ensure a seamless air journey. For last-minute travel, ExecuJet’s access to a global charter network is ready to mobilise within hours. With access to a diverse fleet, the journey is customised, complete with expert crew, bespoke inflight dining, and ground transfers. Pricing is typically all-inclusive, with full transparency around any optional enhancements.
Planning for summer holidays? Whether it’s culture, coastline, or complete seclusion, Execujet’s flight path is as inspiring as it is indulgent. London, the South of France, Italy’s sun-drenched coastline, and the Greek islands remain perennial favourites. For those seeking barefoot luxury, the Maldives, Seychelles, and Thailand offer blissful seclusion, while Tanzania draws the adventurous with private safaris and remote, design-led lodges.
JET LUXE
For the frequent flyer
Whether it’s a last-minute business flight or an impromptu weekend getaway, Dubai-based premier aviation company, Jet Luxe, delivers a fully bespoke experience for the elite frequent fliers. What sets it apart from the rest? “Our customer-centric approach begins well before take-off and continues long after landing. From our Flight Care Team, which follows up after every journey to ensure every detail meets expectations, to our cutting-edge technology like Passenger Situational Awareness Tools, everything we do is built around personalisation, precision, and excellence,” says Nicolas Castanheira, Chief Marketing Officer at Jet Luxe. With a global network of aircraft from light jets to ultra-long-range, Jet Luxe offers every type of private aviation need, whether that’s on-demand charter, full aircraft management, or our INVICTUS membership, which offers exceptional benefits such as not having to pay repositioning fees or fuel surcharges. With summer being one of the busiest seasons, the company recommends planning in advance to ensure aircraft and landing slots, especially in the South of Europe, where slot availability is limited. “The Middle Eastern clientele tends to travel to a mix of luxury, culture, and comfort during the summer months. Popular destinations include the South of France – Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez remain top-tier for leisure; London and Paris are favourites for shopping, business, and family trips; Mykonos and Santorini for vibrant getaways; and Ibiza, for those looking for gorgeous sunsets and unforgettable parties. We also see a growing trend of travel to Spain, Portugal, and Northern Europe, especially among families seeking unique experiences in cooler climates,” adds Nicolas.
FOUR SEASONS
For the stylish jet setter
Elevated, immersive, and personal, the Four Seasons Private Jet experience reimagines the travel experience at 40,000 feet. Offering an entirely bespoke way to see the world, the journeys are designed for those seeking an elevated way to explore. The custom-designed Airbus A321neo-LR with 48 hand-crafted leather flatbed seats and a spacious cabin, the atmosphere and experience mirror the brand’s legendary hospitality. From the very first moment, guests are looked after by a dedicated Jet team – featuring a Four Seasons Concierge, Executive Chef, Journey Physician, and more – who attends to every nuance of the experience. Regional menus are tailored to taste and served at altitude with refined ease, while transitions between destinations are as seamless as the stays themselves. Each itinerary is a masterclass in curated travel. All flights, accommodations (exclusively at Four Seasons or handpicked luxury properties), onboard dining, ground transport, and immersive excursions are included. Even before takeoff, a dedicated Guest Services Manager begins orchestrating every detail, while an onboard concierge ensures it all unfolds flawlessly, from takeoff to final landing.
Given the highly curated nature of each itinerary, planning is recommended. For those plotting their next great summer escape, popular itineraries include The African Wonders journey with stops in Mauritius, Rwanda, Victoria Falls, and the Serengeti, ideal for families seeking a deeper connection to nature and heritage. Meanwhile, International Intrigue invites travellers to experience the vibrancy of Marrakech, the tranquility of the Maldives, and the timeless beauty of Florence and Cap-Ferrat.
