Luxaviation Group today launched a new division to focus exclusively on private jet charter and flight brokerage services. The Luxaviation One unit will source aircraft that are not privately owned, providing full flexibility around the needs of its charter clients.
The Luxembourg-based company’s charter experts will make the aircraft it owns available for charter, as well as sourcing flights from a global network of vetted third-party operators. Thus, the Luxaviation One team is set to double in size from eight to 16 specialists over the next year under the leadership of its CEO, Romain Alati, who has been with the group for 11 years.
“While Luxaviation Charters continues to support our aircraft owners and managed fleet, Luxaviation One is designed with the end client in mind,” explained Luxaviation Group CEO Patrick Hansen. “We are leveraging our global expertise and network to offer a seamless, client-centric charter experience—one that prioritizes reliability, discretion, and peace of mind.”
Initially, the unit will focus on charter bookings in Europe and the U.S. Later, it plans to expand into the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific markets.
