Will you discuss your career journey?

My career in aviation has been shaped by a desire to innovate and challenge the traditional models in the industry. Before starting FlyHouse, I founded Jet Access Aviation, where I was able to pioneer a new way of selling one-way flights. After building that business into an industry leader, I realized there was a bigger opportunity to reimagine how the entire private aviation experience could work for both owners and passengers. This led to the creation of FlyHouse, where we focus on transparency, efficiency, and providing a world-class experience to our customers.
