11 Jan23760 A Passion for Sky-High Luxury One of the world’s largest business aircraft and helicopter operators, Luxaviation has been tailoring private travel experiences for its global clientele since 1964. The Luxembourg company currently employs over 1,300 staff across five continents to deliver its outstanding services. In light of Luxaviation being recognised as our Most Luxurious Private Aviation Service 2023 – Europe, we speak with Chief Marketing Officer, Juliane Thiessen to find out more. Almost 60 years ago, Belgian visionary entrepreneur, André Ganshof van der Meersch founded a small company named Abelag, a predecessor of Luxaviation. As an accomplished pilot himself and having studied flying in the United States, André was quick to recognise the potential of bringing private aviation to Europe. Abelag began by launching its private luxury flights across Belgium. But it wasn’t long before the company was able to expand its reach, flying its clients across the globe. Wanting to experience the service through his clients’ eyes, André often requested staff to accompany him on flights to understand how to improve. Today, Luxaviation’s commitment to excellence through its visionary, pioneering, and innovative private aviation experiences is unwavering. The Luxaviation Group brings together four luxury brands: Luxaviation, Luxaviation Helicopters, Starspeed, and ExecuJet. Luxaviation’s private jet services enable clients to travel wherever they want, whenever they want. Juliane tells us, “Time is such a precious commodity, especially in business. That’s why often chartering an aircraft makes perfect economic sense. Clients can work, conduct meetings, or simply enjoy a well-earned rest as they travel. They can maximise the time they spend at home knowing that we’re on hand to help with schedule changes.” For passengers flying for leisure, the fun begins when they board their Luxaviation luxury jet. Attention to detail is second to none including Michelin-star quality meals accompanied by fine wines and champagne. There’s a selection of onboard entertainment to appeal to every taste, too. And if you’re travelling with your pet, Luxaviation gives them a VIP welcome, also. The company caters for multi-stop tours for sports teams, musicians, and on-location filmmakers, having a freight capacity for loads up to 800kg. And for those who need to access crowded or hard-to-reach spots, Luxaviation’s helicopter charter service fits the bill. The helicopter fleet is equipped with the latest technology and of course, the company’s signature luxury interiors. Private jet and helicopter owners choose to leave all the administrative and operational aspects of their aircraft management in the capable hands of Luxaviation’s management service. Management professionals are on hand 24/7 every day of the year to ensure Luxaviation-managed aircraft fly smoothly wherever they are in the world. Juliane says, “As well as our full management packages, we offer a tailored a la carte service for ground and flight support. Our services include charter coordination, flight planning, crew training, and maintenance coordination.” In the spirit of innovation, the group continues to build on its portfolio of services. These include fully curated travel experiences by La Fugue, safaris in partnership with Rora Private Collection, and Luxaviation's own selection of exclusive getaways. Julianne enthuses, “We’re honoured to evolve our brand in keeping with the ever-changing luxury travel landscape. It’s our ambition to offer tailor-made services dedicated to excellence for both our customers and partners. These services serve to further embody and drive our values by providing services that offer sustainable, state-of-the-art solutions whilst ensuring safe, responsible, and ethical delivery.” On receiving the award the Group’s CEO, Patrick Hansen, says: “We’re delighted the LUXlife jury has selected Luxaviation as the winner of the Most Luxurious Private Aviation Service 2023 in Europe. We strive for excellence in our services, and it’s rewarding to know that our efforts are being recognised. I’d like to thank the highly experienced Luxaviation team, who are committed to providing high-end services to our customers.” Contact: Juliane Thiessen Company: LUXAVIATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY S.A Web Address: www.luxaviation.com
