Magellan Jets Celebrates Decade Of Year-Over-Year Growth
“We are pleased with the success of our team, and are truly grateful for the members and clients that make this kind of sustainable, recession-proof growth possible,” said Joshua Hebert, Magellan Jets’ CEO and Founder. “We have the best team,” Hebert continued, “and we look forward to continuing to invest in growth.“
“The 2010s were an exciting time to grow and learn,” said Anthony Tivnan, Magellan Jets’ President and Co-Founder. “The biggest leap in learning and skill came after we decided to grow client-by-client, without outside investments, and without taking on a penny of debt.”
“To be able to build trust with clients and colleagues alike and also grow the organization to be able to support a purely private and personalized service model requires sacrifice, dedication, and grit,” added Tivan. “Our research and collaboration with industry partners in 2018 and 2019 surfaced several pointed insights and ultimately resulted in solid strategic plans that give us confidence that not only are we prepared for any economic eventuality, but can make our model scale faster during boom times by applying many of the same ideas and principles we plan to use during a downturn.”
“The ‘ah-ha’ moment came in the 2010’s when we learned that the things we do to fine-tune our business for growth while hedging for a challenging economic environment has benefits that we can directly apply to the lives of our members and clients,“ Tivnan concluded. “We are the last firm standing that has the talent, experience, and interest in managing a complete private aviation portfolio for individuals and companies alike.“
“2018 was the most challenging year in our 11+ years in the business; but we are a better organization because of it,” Hebert added. “We needed to use 2018 and early 2019 to position the company for growth and sustainability, and that resulted in 2019 being our best year of the 2010’s in terms of revenue, net profit, membership services renewal rates, and client retention.”

Magellan will launch an exclusive app that will simplify and enhance their guest experience, and invite like-minded companies to join our platform to grow with the company
“Our core values are the ultimate foundation of our growth,” Hebert adds. “Our member and client experience is merely an excellent extension of the culture within our corporate family. Leading with safety, caring deeply, creating amazing experiences are more than words. They are an attitude, a discipline, and a lifestyle.”
