Description

This week on The VIP Seat, Jessie Naor and Preston Holland unpack a major new acquisition in private aviation as Vital Farms founder Matt O’Hayer enters the jet charter market with his purchase of ATI Jet, now rebranded as Jetvia. They analyze the challenges of operating an aging fleet, explore a surprising drop in single-aircraft Part 135 operators, and discuss whether M&A activity is heating up again. Plus, they break down two major executive orders from the Trump administration on drone integration and supersonic flight, and whether the FAA can realistically meet the deadlines. As always, the episode wraps with Mile High Madness: from tire inflation by bike pump to celebrity jet reveals.
