Marquis- Jetset Lifestyle Concierge

What Marquis- Jetset Lifestyle Concierge does

Marquis - Jetset Lifestyle Concierge is a private aviation advisory and brokerage firm headquartered in Beverly Hills that arranges on-demand jet charter and provides a membership-based flight service for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients. The company does not own or operate aircraft; it coordinates flights through vetted FAA Part 135 operators, screening carriers exclusively against ARGUS and Wyvern safety ratings. Its commercial structure is built around two offerings — On-Demand Charter and a recurring Membership — and a lifestyle concierge extension branded Marquis Journeys, which covers villas, yachts, hotels, and ground arrangements for members.

The firm's stated customer base spans family offices, executives and founders, advisory and institutional clients, and the executive assistants who manage travel for principals. Distribution is direct and advisor-led, with sales driven by referrals from wealth advisors and existing client relationships rather than paid acquisition. The firm employs 1-10 people and operates a small, senior headcount consistent with a relationship-driven service model in which senior advisors are the primary deliverable.

Underlying the service is the Flight Intelligence Platform, which provides real-time market visibility into charter availability and pricing to support the advisors' procurement decisions. The firm is asset-light, generating revenue primarily through charter commissions and membership economics, and uses a branded journal, ELEVATE, as a content and brand-building asset targeting the wealth audience. The company is presented as having "over a decade" of operating history, while firmographic data lists a 2018 founding date, indicating a discrepancy between the marketed operating tenure and the legal entity founding date.

Core offering

MARQUIS is a private aviation advisory firm that does not own or operate aircraft, but instead coordinates on-demand private jet charter and structured membership programs through vetted FAA Part 135 operators. The firm pairs each client with a dedicated aviation advisor who handles strategy, sourcing, operator vetting, routing, and execution oversight. Membership extends the advisory relationship across villas, yachts, hotels, ground logistics, entertainment access, and bespoke travel requests.

Product overview

MARQUIS operates as an aviation-first advisory firm offering two primary engagement models: On-Demand Charter for immediate access to vetted aircraft with advisor-led execution, and Membership for structured advisory with priority access and long-term continuity. The portfolio also includes the Flight Intelligence Platform for real-time market visibility and operator review, MARQUIS Journeys for complex multi-leg and bespoke travel structuring, and ELEVATE, the firm's seasonal editorial journal on private aviation strategy. The advisory model is distinct from a marketplace approach, emphasizing judgment, transparency, and long-term relationships over transactional booking.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• VistaJet: Global private aviation company operating its own fleet and serving corporations, governments, and HNW clients worldwide. Comparable to MARQUIS as a high-end private aviation provider for international travel, but VistaJet owns and operates its fleet versus MARQUIS's asset-light advisory model.
• Jet Aviation: Global business aviation services company offering aircraft management, charter, maintenance, and FBO services. Comparable to MARQUIS in charter arrangement and operator-side safety discipline, but with much broader service portfolio including FBO and MRO operations.
• NetJets: Berkshire Hathaway-owned fractional jet ownership and leasing leader with global fleet operations. Broad incumbent comparable to MARQUIS in serving executives and family offices, but operates aircraft directly under a fractional ownership model rather than brokering charter.
• Wheels Up: Membership-based private aviation company offering on-demand charter and managed services. Comparable to MARQUIS in the membership-and-charter model targeting HNW and corporate travelers, though Wheels Up has historically combined fleet operations with the brokerage layer.

Direct peers

• Solairus Aviation: US-based private aviation management and charter brokerage serving family offices, corporations, and individuals with ARGUS/Wyvern-rated operators. Comparable to MARQUIS in targeting HNW and family office clients with safety-vetted operator curation.
• Magellan Jets: Private jet membership and jet card provider offering on-demand charter access through vetted operators with safety ratings. Directly comparable to MARQUIS in the membership-plus-charter engagement model serving HNW and corporate clients.
• PrivateFly: Global on-demand private jet charter broker with an advisor-led booking model and broad operator network. Directly comparable to MARQUIS in charter brokerage structure, though PrivateFly leans more heavily on digital booking tools versus MARQUIS's concierge-advisory positioning.
• XO (formerly XOJET): Membership and on-demand private jet charter platform combining fleet operations with brokerage. Partially comparable to MARQUIS as a digital-first charter access provider, though XO operates aircraft directly rather than purely brokering.
• Sentient Jet: Jet card membership program providing access to private aviation through a network of safety-vetted operators. Comparable to MARQUIS as a non-asset-owning membership charter provider, though Sentient's product is more standardized versus MARQUIS's bespoke advisory model.
• Air Charter Service: Large international charter broker arranging private jet, group charter, and cargo flights through vetted operators. Closest structural comparable to MARQUIS as a non-asset-owning broker, though with much broader customer base and significantly larger scale.
