Star points to 140 per cent bookings increase for Q1
Health concerns related to COVID-19 continue to remain a primary reason for the uptick in private travel demand. Star Jets' first-time passengers have become repeat customers who enjoy the new-found benefits.

New York-based private jet charter company Star Jets International has booked an all-time record $3,641,637 for the quarter ending 31 March 2021, a year-over-year increase of 140 per cent. The company is continuing on a growth trend as the demand for private air travel is not showing any signs of slowing down.

The company expects continued growth throughout the remainder of 2021. Health concerns related to COVID-19 continue to remain a primary reason for the uptick in private travel demand. Star Jets' first-time passengers have become repeat customers who enjoy their new-found benefits of convenience and luxury of private air travel.

CEO Ricky Sitomer states: “We are proud to announce our all-time record revenue in the first quarter of 2021 and our continued growth in the private jet industry. The demand for private jets is skyrocketing. We expect demand to continue to grow for many years to come. Many travellers who have been sitting on the sidelines who have now received the COVID vaccine are looking to get away after being cooped up for so long. We look forward to our continued success and our hard work in order to serve our clients with all of their private travel needs.”
