Two \\\ About FXAIR
About FXAIR
Launched by Directional Aviation in the summer of 2020, FXAIR came of age at a time when consistency was gravely needed within the on-demand private jet charter industry.
FXAIR is built to exceed the expectations of those who value a premium private jet travel experience, but prefer the flexibility afforded to them by on-demand charter. Today, FXAIR stands as private jet travel’s only premium on-demand charter provider serving clients throughout North America and Europe.
As part of the Directional Aviation family of private flight providers—led by visionary entrepreneur Kenneth C. Ricci—FXAIR is a complementary counterpart to Flexjet, a global leader in fractional private jet ownership, and Sentient Jet, the world’s foremost jet card provider.
While others pursue automation and impersonal digital solutions, FXAIR distinguishes itself by doubling down on impeccable white glove service, cultivating personal connections and becoming the trusted go-to for clients when on-demand private jet access calls.
With offices in New York and London, FXAIR is led by 25-year private aviation veteran Gregg Slow. More than 60 dedicated consultants personally plan and track all facets of a client’s flight, ensuring that every detail is meticulously executed to meet exact specifications. Each journey is managed with the utmost care and professionalism, far exceeding the typical charter experience.
Representing more than 65% of all managed private flight time, the charter market has traditionally been fragmented, with inconsistent service quality and limited reliability. FXAIR is redefining that landscape—offering a new standard of consistency and excellence.

Now seamlessly aligned under the FXAIR name, the integration of FXAIR and PrivateFly amplifies the ability to deliver premium charter experiences to clients on both sides of the Atlantic.
In a year where charter flying activity saw year-over-year market decline, FXAIR marked 190% growth since inception in 2020, affirming its role as the marketplace’s most sought-after premium on-demand charter provider. A STEADY BUILD
Building on the success of the Aviator Membership program, FXAIR launched Aviator+, bringing to the charter market guaranteed access to FXSelect aircraft at fixed hourly rates, including the Embraer Phenom® 300, Bombardier Challenger 300 and Global Express.
History
FXAIR launched as Directional Aviation’s exclusive on-demand charter provider in North America, replacing Skyjet and PrivateFly’s U.S. operations with a focus on redefining premium branded charter. Under the leadership of aviation veteran Gregg Slow, FXAIR completed over 4,000 charter flights to 600 destinations for more than 8,000 clients, driving a remarkable 55% revenue increase in its inaugural year.
Directional Aviation acquires PrivateFly for more exposure to the European marketplace and to complement its existing North American premium on-demand charter offering.
Directional Aviation unveiled Skyjet as its unified North American on-demand charter solution, consolidating the charter expertise of Flexjet, Flight Options and Sentient Jet within a single offering.
FXAIR predecessor company PrivateFly launches and quickly grows to become Europe’s most-recognized private jet booking platform. Initially focused on the United Kingdom, it developed multiple channels and customer bases worldwide through localized content and language platforms.

Directional Aviation
Over the 40+ years since Directional Aviation’s leadership began founding, actively managing and investing in world-class private aviation companies, countless competing flight providers and business models have come and gone. At the same time, those within their purview experienced a steady climb.

FXAIR is headquartered in New York City, but the full resources and infrastructure of its family of companies including 25+ strategically located operations, maintenance and regional office facilities across North America and Europe support client travel needs 24/7/365.
A mainstay of the private jet industry, this family of companies takes a disciplined and growth-oriented approach to an always-evolving market, fostering a consistent trajectory of growth and profitability through decades of varying business and economic cycles.
Together, FXAIR and these affiliated companies, supported by Directional Aviation, make up a time-tested global private aviation powerhouse.
