Flexjet Secures Largest Private Equity Raise in BizAv History

Flexjet Secures Largest Private Equity Raise in BizAv History

Flexjet just landed a massive $800 million equity investment, led by L Catterton (the private equity firm backed by LVMH), along with KSL Capital Partners and the J Safra Asset Management Corporation. That puts their valuation around $4 billion—a huge bump from the previous SPAC estimate.

For anyone watching the private jet space closely, this is a huge deal. It’s reportedly the largest private equity raise in business aviation history.

So, what’s it mean?

🔧 They’re planning to expand their fleet in a big way (word is there’s a 180+ jet order with Embraer in the works), open more private terminals, grow their international footprint, and keep pushing into that high-end luxury experience niche that Flexjet’s been carving out—think brand partnerships with folks like Bentley and Riva Yachts.

As someone working in this space and keeping a close eye on where the industry is headed, this kind of investment says a lot. There’s clearly strong belief that premium fractional and on-demand private flying isn’t just stable—it’s scaling.
