Great to see their standards and service recognised as such but shame to see the Starspeed logo 'gone' so soon after purchase.
I would not have thought that building a global brand was simply a case of buying existing excellent 'brands' and grouping under one name.....
Retaining the driving forces of existing companies and convincing them to relinquish the 'organ grinder' role for the 'monkey' is a delicate task that has to win against the 'monkey' having a big bag of cash and losing the the rewards of running a successful business......
I presume Lux will be adding specific charter aircraft as not much you can do with private ones when their owner wants them to be positioned at a whim.
I hope the fee also bought the little black book ;-)

What he said................

Plus from my observation of a few HNWI's over the years they prefer a much closer relationship with the individuals involved.

It's about trust.

Don't be surprised if not all the current customers are happy with the deal.

It is unlikely to be just some customers who are unhappy about the deal.....
Judged by the experience of execujet and London Executive, both of whom were earlier targets of Luxaviations unlimited and unfathonable wealth, many long served employees ( including some senior management) have quickly left....leaving a disspirited and rudderless workforce wondering just WTF Lux's game plan really is. LEA for example are shortly to loose their last remaining TRE!!!!!
