ABOUT FLEXJETLaunched on May 15, 1995 as a venture of Bombardier Aerospace Group and AMR Combs division of
AMR Corp (the parent company of American Airlines), Flexjet LLC was founded at the dawn of the
fractional aircraft industry “to provide affordable access to an increasingly important competitive tool
– the business jet – to a much broader range of companies and individuals.”
Flexjet was acquired in 2013 by Directional Aviation (www.directionalaviation.com), led by visionary
aviation entrepreneur Kenn Ricci. Flexjet joined other companies in Directional Aviation’s $1 billion
portfolio including Flight Options, Sentient Jet and Skyjet.
Mr. Ricci realigned the vision of Flexjet, focusing it on the luxury fractional ownership experience,
and steering it on a course toward becoming a leading luxury brand known for world-class service
while committing to investments in new aircraft, facilities and technology.
As it celebrated the 20th anniversary of its founding in 2015, Flexjet has fulfilled its initial promise,
becoming one of the world’s leading providers of private jet travel.
