Colorado-based charter brokerage ONEflight International welcomed attendees to its annual Black Tie Gala on 16 December, held within its new hangar at Centennial airport near Denver. The event featured a VIP cocktail reception, a star-studded guest list, exciting performances and announcements.

Festivities kicked off with a cocktail hour, and a number of distinguished ONEflight VIP members and brand ambassadors were welcomed to the exclusive VIP reception, including Robert Herjavec, Kevin O'Leary, Kevin Costner, Courtney Cox, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Jason Bateman, Paul Rudd and Anthony Scaramucci.

All the guests were later treated to performances by the Cirque Du Soleil as well as a world-renowned DJ, who opened up the dance floor to conclude the evening's festivities.

ONEflight shared two major announcements during the gala. First was the acquisition of a Gulfstream G550, fondly referred to as the big brother to its other aircraft, the Black Jet Gulfstream III. Adding this heavy jet to its corporate fleet increases the number of complimentary flights for members and, in turn, reinforces ONEflight's commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its clientele. The second announcement was the Employee of the Year award, recognising outstanding employee contributions to the ONEflight community. CEO Ferren Rajput personally presented the employee with a Maserati Ghibli.

"The Black Tie Gala is a momentous occasion for us," says Rajput. "We're able to celebrate our exclusive partnerships and experiences, express gratitude to our valued employees and connect with our esteemed clientele before heading into the new year. ONEflight strives for excellence and innovation in everything we do, and this gala encapsulates that. Members see our exciting growth, that's unencumbered by current market conditions because we know it's not just about flying. It's about creating unforgettable experiences for our clients and exceeding their expectations day in and day out."
