In Good Company
FXAIR is a sister company to Flexjet and part of Directional Aviation, the decades-long global leader in private aviation. Our
STABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON
Over the 40+ years since Directional Aviation’s leadership began founding, actively managing and investing in world-class private aviation companies, countless competing business models have come and gone. At the same time, those under their stewardship experienced a steady climb. This long track record through decades of macroeconomic ups and downs, speaks to a disciplined yet growth-oriented approach. This not only acts as a source of stability to FXAIR but brings unrivalled industry knowledge and significant buying power to our market offerings, which responsibly consider the capital-intensive realities of private aviation.
Decades of Proven Strength and Stability
01 \ PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT
Growth is rooted in 15 years of continuous profitability and strategic investments. Financial profitability reinvested into irreplicable infrastructure and operational efficiencies for global customer base. Revenue generated by the group’s core fractional ownership business (Flexjet) is committed to upfront, recurring in nature and forecastable to the business.
02 \ A GLOBAL PRIVATE AVIATION ECOSYSTEM
The organisations making up Directional Aviation’s family of private aviation providers are backed by: 4,000+ employees, 25+ operations, maintenance, private terminal and office facilities in North America and Europe, a fleet of owned/operated and network aircraft flying 300,000+ hours annually for a global customer base, plus the largest in-house aircraft maintenance infrastructure in private aviation, ensuring industry-leading dispatch availability of owned/operated and partner fleet aircraft.
03 \ RATIONAL GROWTH
Managed through multiple business cycles. During heavy growth cycles, sales into available aircraft are prudently managed to safeguard service levels. Growth that cannot be properly serviced is not rational and a detriment to long-term viability.
04 \ RECURRING REVENUE & CUSTOMER RETENTION PROTECTIONS
A global, cross-storefront combined committed customer base (those subscribed to a programme) of major corporations (80% of the clientele) and ultra-high-networth individuals (20%), with a 97% retention rate and long-tenured relationships.
05 \ INDUSTRY DIVERSITY SAFEGUARDS
The 10,000+ customers subscribed across each of our group storefront’s programmes span ultra-high net worth individuals to major corporations, representing a diverse set of industries and interests. This safeguards the stability of the overall enterprise, making it not overly reliant on one sector of the global economy.
06 \ OPTIMISED NETWORK OF AIRCRAFT
Almost 300 owned and operated aircraft dedicated to the fractional ownership storefront (Flexjet), complemented by access to a certified partner network of marketbased aircraft that service the group’s on-demand charter and programme storefronts. This combination ensures we always have ample access to aircraft without outsized acquisition risk to the enterprise.
A PROVEN APPROACH TAILORED TO A NUANCED INDUSTRY
Private aviation is a capital-intensive business. The sign of a credible provider with your best interest at heart is one that acknowledges that reality. Our asset-efficient, de-risked business model backed by a committed customer base embodies that acknowledgment. In an evolving market with new inexperienced entrants, FXAIR and our affiliated companies, supported by Directional Aviation, make up a time-tested global private aviation powerhouse, exemplifying consistent growth for over four decades.
