Star Jets reveals 3Q revenue figures
The post-pandemic demand for private air travel is not showing any signs of slowing down according to Star Jets. The company has posted another set of healthy booking figures for 3Q21.

New York-based charter company Star Jets International has booked $2,973,000 for the third quarter of 2021. The company expects to continue its bookings throughout the fourth quarter and into the first quarter of 2022. Health and safety concerns related to Covid-19 remain a primary reason for the demand for private travel.

CEO Ricky Sitomer says: “Our team is very excited to have achieved our revenue goals for this quarter, earning almost $3,000,000. A key factor in this was the sheer growth of our clientele over the quarter. While the world continues to deal with the fallout of the pandemic, we continue to see a breakdown in commercial travel. As a result of this breakdown and the difficulty in booking flights, we are seeing tremendous interest in private charters as consumers continue to lose confidence in commercial airlines' abilities to get them to their destination safely and reasonably.”

The company is looking to finalise its long-awaited audited financial statement for 2019 and 2020 imminently.
