FLEXJET UNVEILS EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION WITH LUXURY BRITISH LUGGAGE BRAND, GLOBE-TROTTER

LONDON, November 20 2024 – Flexjet, a global leader in private aviation, has announced a prestigious collaboration with one of the world’s most exclusive luxury luggage brands, Globe-Trotter. The alliance epitomizes the pinnacle of luxury travel, with Flexjet’s ultra-high-net-worth clientele offered access to a specifically curated luggage collection, designed to complement the style, ease and sophistication of flying with Flexjet.

Globe-Trotter embodies timeless elegance and, as a symbol of British luxury, a combination of exceptional functionality with exquisite design appeal – qualities shared by Flexjet. Shaped by the individuals who carry them, the limited-edition luggage will allow Flexjet’s shared aircraft owners to travel in ultimate style. With renowned figures like the late Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill well-known past devotees, Globe-Trotter cases embody a heritage of excellence.

Introducing two color schemes, the limited-edition Flexjet collections are available in ivory with a steel leather trim – inspired by the livery of the Flexjet fleet – with a second option of Globe-Trotter’s Original Brown with a Burgundy leather trim. Each piece is composed of robust vegetable-tanned leather and a vulcanized fiberboard body, with a unique aircraft and star pattern interior featuring the Flexjet logo and aircraft icon.

The collection includes a range of pieces, from a handbag-style Miniature Case to a Carry-On Case and Medium Check-In and Large Check-In Cases. A Luggage Tag and Passport Cover are also available as travel accessories, made from a smooth napa leather in both color schemes.

This collaboration is the latest in a distinct series of luxury partnerships announced in 2024 for Flexjet. In May, the company announced a strategic agreement with yachting leader Ferretti Group, connecting the pinnacle of luxury from sea to sky. Subsequently, in July, Flexjet announced a bespoke partnership with London’s new sought-after hotel, The Emory, designed to offer guests the ultimate airborne hotel arrival experience by helicopter, included in their stay.

“We are delighted to announce this exciting collaboration that brings together the decades of expertise and brand prestige
from two leaders in complementary luxury sectors,” said Mike Silvestro, CEO of Flexjet. “I’ve long admired Globe-Trotter’s dedication to craftsmanship, and we are each anchored by a deep commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences and an unparalleled blend of exclusivity and sophistication to today’s UHNWI traveler. This limited-edition luggage collection embodies the enjoyment, luxury style and exquisite ease that comes when you travel with Flexjet.”
