/Air Charter Guide recently spoke with Matt Frick, Operations Manager at Global Jet International. Global Jet International allows executives to carry out business while in flight, remaining productive and arriving at destinations feeling refreshed.

1) Charter Traveler Tips and Know-How:
Guiding a customer through the charter process involves several key steps:
Understanding Needs: First, we listen carefully to the customer’s requirements. Are they traveling for business, leisure, or a special event? What’s their preferred departure location and destination?
Aircraft Selection: Based on their needs, we recommend suitable aircraft options. Factors include passenger capacity, range, and amenities.
Pricing and Booking: We provide transparent pricing, including any additional costs (such as landing fees or catering). Once the customer approves, we finalize the booking.
Pre-Flight Preparation: We assist with logistics, security, and any special requests.
Enjoy the Journey: During the flight, our crew ensures a comfortable experience.

2) Fleet Description:
Our fleet consists of state-of-the-art private jets, including luxurious models like the Gulfstream G650ER, Challenger 604, and Praetor 500. These aircraft offer spacious cabins, advanced technology, and exceptional comfort. I have attached a document, which outlines the Global Jet International fleet.

4) Aviation Journey:
My passion for aviation began during my childhood. I ended up completing my master’s in Aviation Management before holding various operational management roles within airlines over a period of around 7 years. I found the transition to Business Aviation fascinating as you’ll encounter a different clientele, focus on personalized services, and appreciate the nuances of private jet travel. The thrill of organizing seamless flights for high-profile clients and creating memorable experiences is a very special feeling!

5) Popular Itinerary/Event/Destination:
Our most popular intra-Australia destinations are Sydney, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Hamilton Island. The top international picks would be Denpasar (Indonesia), Nadi (Fiji), Auckland (New Zealand), Singapore and Honolulu (USA). I will be attending EBACE (Geneva, Switzerland) and NBAA (Las Vegas, USA) this year and am looking forward to reconnecting with our partners, colleagues, suppliers and clients.
6) Specialization:
While we handle various charter needs, our expertise lies in executive travel, leisure trips as well as Aeromedical retrieval missions.
7) Fun Stories:
Once, we organized a surprise proposal mid-flight. The client proposed to his partner with stunning views of the Uluru (Ayers Rock). She said yes, and it became a cherished memory for everyone on board.
8) Key Quote on Jet Travel:
“Flying isn’t just about reaching a destination; it’s about embracing the journey, soaring above the clouds, and experiencing life from a different perspective.”
