Sentient Jet has named Rob ‘Gronk’ Gronkowski an official brand ambassador. He has been a strong supporter of Sentient Jet for the past six years and with this ambassadorship will co-host card owner events later this year and share his experiences on social media.

The former football tight end has played in the US National Football League for 11 seasons, with nine seasons for the New England Patriots. Founded in 1999 in the Boston metropolitan area, Sentient Jet continues to hold strong ties to New England athletes and sports, having supported several events by creating exclusive experiences for its card owners. Now in its 25th year celebrating the invention of the jet card, the company is pleased to have made the long-standing partnership with Gronk official.

“Sentient Jet is thrilled to announce Rob Gronkowski as our brand ambassador to commemorate our 25th anniversary,” says Andrew Collins, co-CEO of Sentient Jet’s parent company Flexjet. “Gronkowski is celebrated worldwide for all he has contributed to the athletic community both on and off the field. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Gronk on exclusive events and remain committed to bringing the best service and benefits to our card owners.”

Gronkowski adds: “Throughout my career, I have seen how private air travel makes it so much easier to juggle work commitments, letting you hop from one place to another quickly and efficiently all in one day. Sentient Jet has been one of my favourite travel partners, and I’m excited to meet more of its card owners through our upcoming events.”

Sentient Jet says it has been at the forefront of innovation with several first-to-market programmes, products and initiatives including the invention of the jet card, co-invention of TripCheq with ARGUS, the first company to have independent safety advisory board, mobile application, text-to-book, emissions-neutral sustainability programme and offset records. In the past 25 years, it has flown more than one million passengers to over 2,500 destinations all over the world and has grown revenue by 549 per cent.
