Flitestar broadens network through Discover deal
Flitestar will also offer a number of additional services to the Discover the World network including access to the Flitestar Airbreaks programme, offering private jet packages in partnership with leading hotels and resorts.

Flitestar Private Jets, a provider of global air charter services based in the UK, has entered into a new strategic partnership with Discover the World, a global sales representation organisation in the travel industry. The partnership with Discover the World will focus on offering charter services to Discover's travel agency global network. Flitestar will also work with Discover's airline partners seeking charter opportunities for available aircraft.

Neil Baines, CEO of Flitestar Private Jets, comments: “Our new relationship with Discover The World expands our footprint of already global services to include 60 network offices around the world, and we are thrilled to become Discover's first air charter partner. Our services, including both private jet and commercial airliner charter services, will add value to Discover's existing product offering and provide trade partners with access to a professional and reliable aircraft charter product.”

Aiden Walsh, airline development manager for Discover the World, adds: “As we work through the crisis with less connectivity, we have seen more and more charter requests from our global agency network. Our relationship with Flitestar will allow us to offer a world class charter service to our agency partners with access to more than 7,000 aircraft globally. We are also delighted to start connecting our airline partners with Flitestar to discuss opportunities for grounded fleets. We have had a fantastic response so far as we proactively hunt opportunities for available aircraft.”

Flitestar will also offer a number of additional services to the Discover the World network including access to the Flitestar Airbreaks programme, offering private jet packages in partnership with leading hotels and resorts; Flitestar Aircraft Marketing, providing aircraft specific sales, marketing and GSA services to airlines and operators, as well as the broker's soon-to-be-launched JetSharing programme.
