Our story
We are not a broker. The jets you see are the jets you fly on, the pilots are ours, and the hangar is two minutes from the 405. Teodora Ketter flew airliners for 19,000 hours before she bought her first light jet and a phone she answered at any hour. It still rings at our desk, day and night.

“Called at 6am, wheels up at 8:40. My daughter made her recital in Scottsdale and I was home for dinner.”
Imani, Encino
“Teodora's team handled three legs, two pets and a change of plans in Aspen without one phone call from me. That is the whole point.”
Colette, Studio City
“We fly the jet card for work. Same rate in August as in December, and the coordinator remembers how I take my coffee.”
Paul, Calabasas

Call or text
How fast can you have a jet ready?
From Van Nuys, a light jet can be wheels up in as little as two hours, day or night, when a crew is on call. Most trips are booked a day or two out; call and we'll tell you what's possible right now.
Is the price per seat?
No. Every rate is for the whole aircraft and everyone on board. Bring the family, the dog and the golf clubs.
Who flies the plane?
Two of our own pilots on every flight, and every captain has at least 5,000 hours. Our maintenance team inspects each jet before every trip. We are licensed and insured.
Can my dog come?
Yes, in the cabin with you, no crate. We keep water bowls on board and a towel for the ride home.
How much luggage fits?
A light jet takes about six soft bags. The super-midsize and heavy jets fit skis, golf bags and strollers. Tell us what you're bringing and we'll match the aircraft.
What do I need to bring?
A government-issued photo ID for flights in the US, and a passport for Mexico and beyond. That's it. No lines, no security checkpoint.
