Fifteen years in private aviation.
Over 1,000 completed trips.
Jake Lombardi is the Managing Director of Lombardi Jet Services and has spent over 15 years within the private jet charter broker industry. He is based in Midtown Manhattan and personally oversees every flight arrangement.
I started in this business during the early days of Apollo Jets, training directly under Al Patagonia. After subsequent years working with Wheels Up, I established a practice built entirely on direct accountability. Over the past fifteen years, I have personally arranged well over 1,000 charter flights.
I work primarily with individuals and heads of families who travel for personal, leisure, and executive business purposes. My clients do not want to be sold to. They want clear options, honest pricing, and a broker who remembers how they operate.
Because I am based in New York, I maintain a tight footprint as a private jet broker in the Northeast. When my clients fly out of Teterboro, White Plains, or Farmingdale, there is a very high probability I will meet you on the tarmac, introduce you to the pilots, and see you off in person. You are never handing your itinerary over to a generic operations desk.
Outside the office, I collect vintage baseball and basketball cards. In the office, my focus is solely on making sure your aircraft does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Why We Avoid Jet Cards & Memberships
The private aviation industry is crowded with apps and membership programs promising convenience. In reality, jet cards lock up capital, enforce restrictive interchange fees, and obscure which operator actually flies your family.
