Our objective is to deliver a radically better premium leisure travel experience.
If you kind of harken back to the golden age of travel — in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s — air travel was part of the experience of going somewhere. It’s [since] become much, much more accessible to a larger segment of the population, but in doing so, it’s lost a lot of its magic. [You] go to an airport, take your shoes off, go through security and have what is really a commoditized experience. [That’s] what we’re trying to fix.
We believe travel should still leave you speechless. We want guests to start enjoying their vacation experience even before they get on the plane. From the private lounge to the bespoke-designed plane, Aero has crafted every detail. Organized by [our] concierge staff, every journey provides guests with the exceptional experience of flying private, from the highest level of personalized service to spacious cabins that include hand-stitched Italian leather seats and a Bongiovi Sound System. We fly direct between easy-access hubs and coveted destinations that are harder to reach, so we help guests maximize vacation time and minimize travel time.
