Local Touch, With a Global Reach

Luxury private jet company, Jet Linx, has touched down in Minneapolis.

Jet Linx, a leader in the world of luxury private jet service, offers a local operation in the Minneapolis market. Located in 21 major cities throughout the United States, Jet Linx is thrilled to include Minneapolis among the cities it calls home.

Welcome Home, Minneapolis

The Minneapolis facility formally opened in early 2020 amidst the onset of the pandemic, with an outdoor affair to celebrate the new private terminal held in October of that year. “While that was not the most ideal time to open a new location, Minneapolis is hands down one of my favorite Jet Linx terminals,” said Dan Longo, Regional Base President for Jet Linx Minneapolis. “It is striking when you walk inside. Our local and national team really knocked it out of the park when they put Minneapolis together.” The Minneapolis terminal is located in Eden Prairie at Flying Cloud Airport.

Local Model

“No other private aviation company has such an extensive network of facilities dedicated to only their clients,” said Dan. With Jet Linx, there is no third party, no call center. Clients are talking to someone on the ground, in their home location. That’s the personalized touch that sets Jet Linx apart. Only Jet Linx members and their guests can arrive and depart from the Jet Linx locations. “Great effort has been taken to ensure each location has a sense of place and feels unique and special,” said Dan.

Additionally, each location is staffed with five-star local Flight Concierge. “The entire idea is to elevate and personalize the private aviation experience, with someone calling a local number, and speaking with their local team,” said Dan. These dedicated concierge teams get to know their clients on a personal level—whether that is reaching out when they know upcoming travel is on the horizon or stocking the lounge and bar with their favorite beverages and snacks. “This creates a travel partnership, over just being a travel provider,” said Dan.

Jet Linx Experience

Jet Linx members are guaranteed world-class safety, availability of aircraft and a private experience. Their private terminals including everything from beautiful, comfortable lounges to meeting rooms and luxury aircraft bring about an entire experience. Beyond just flight travel, Jet Linx wants you to feel at home wherever your destination. “In 2019 we launched our Elevated Lifestyle Preferred Hotels program. We have a portfolio of over 80 incredible hotel partner properties worldwide that offer a special array of accommodations available only to our members and owners,” said Dan. “Our clients enjoy the attention and service at a Jet Linx local Base to call their private jet home, but also an expansive national network of support with world-class benefits.”

Jet Card memberships are available in every location. To provide clients an even more elevated experience, the company offers a network of luxury travel agency partners, health and wellness partners and much more. Jet Linx memberships are suitable for business and personal travelers and offer unmatched benefits.

Finally, while Jet Linx has base operations in the United States only, they fly to over 180 countries. Jet Linx can also access far more airports than commercial travel – over 5,000 nationwide. “The scope of what our clients can do and accomplish is really fantastic, from visiting multiple cities in one day to flying in closer to their desired destination. The power and flexibility of private aviation is truly unmatched,” said Dan.
