Private jet charter broker LunaJets posted first-quarter revenues of $48 million, a 28% year-over-year increase. The company said it continues to build on strong 2025 performance while tempering its expectations for the broader market this year.
The first-quarter results follow a record 2025, in which Geneva-based LunaJets closed the year with $200 million in revenues, up 20% from 2024. Flight activity grew 10% in the first quarter this year, and the company added close to 300 new customers during the period.
“These numbers reflect the trust our clients place in us and the flexibility of our model,” said CEO Guillaume Launay. Chairman Eymeric Segard added, “In a market that demands both precision and flexibility, we have built an organization that delivers on both, and first-quarter 2026 is evidence of that.”
An operational test came in March, when geopolitical tensions in the Middle East prompted LunaJets to coordinate more than 30 evacuation flights through its group charter and private jet divisions. Organizing these flights “under intense time pressure required not just expertise, but genuine dedication to the people depending on us,” Launay said.
LunaJets is deploying AI-powered tools to improve advisor response times and information accuracy for clients. A redesigned digital client platform is also in development, with a phased rollout planned later this year. The company expects to open two more office locations by year-end.
