Having sponsored the 2019 Aspen World Snow Polo Championship on 18-20 December, Flexjet is continuing to sponsor the Flexjet Polo Team, led by Melissa Ganzi, throughout 2020.

“Polo has long been called the sport of kings, and it is a passion of many of our owners,” says COO Megan Wolf. “We were pleased to sponsor the Aspen World Snow Polo Championship, the final stop on the year-long polo circuit and the only event of its kind in North America. It's a wonderful opportunity for polo fans to have a quick getaway before the holidays in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and has become a seasonal tradition among many of our owners.

“We also are pleased to sponsor the Flexjet Polo Team for the sixth season. The team epitomises the commitment to excellence and performance that drives Flexjet, and we look forward to them having a great showing in Aspen this month and on the professional polo circuit in 2020.”

The polo championship annually draws a high profile audience of polo fans from around the world to Aspen to view some of the world's finest players. Each year, more Flexjet owners travel to Aspen from locations across the globe as the festival's popularity continues to increase.

The event began on December 18, with competition at the Aspen Valley Polo Club and Rio Grande Park on each of the next three days, climaxing with the final on December 20. The championship match will be followed by a VIP party in the heated tent adjacent to the snow-covered polo field. Flexjet owners were offered exclusive access to all events.

The Flexjet team was among six teams competing in last year's World Snow Polo Championship. Founded in 2014, the team won the 2016 Aspen World Snow Polo Championship. Captained by Melissa Ganzi, who has led winning teams at snow polo competitions in both Aspen and St Moritz, Switzerland, the team competes at high-goal polo events around the country throughout the year. Ganzi and her husband, Marc are prominent owners and players in the polo community, and founded the Aspen Valley Polo Club.

The sport also is played at venues including Bariloche, Argentina and Cortina, Italy. These destinations can be reached directly from North America via Flexjet's fleet of long range private jets including the Bombardier Global Express, the Gulfstream G450 and the Gulfstream G650. All of these aircraft are available through Flexjet's premium Red Label offering.

In addition, Flexjet recently placed orders totalling $2.6 billion for the new Embraer Praetor family of aircraft and Gulfstream G700.
