Charter and management specialist Elit’Avia and services provider ZenithJet are highlighting the business aviation needs for high-net-worth individuals and their families during an invitation-only event scheduled for November 23 in London. The event differs from typical business aviation gatherings in that it will solely focus on the interests and concerns of family office professionals, or those who represent high-net-worth individuals and their families.
This event represents an evolution that Elit’Avia and ZenithJet have seen as those advisors have become more interested and involved in the business aviation needs of their clients, a spokesman said, adding that the gathering is attracting upwards of five-dozen such professionals.
“Family office professionals have done an excellent job of representing their clients’ interests over the years,” said Nick Houseman, co-owner of Elit’Avia and owner of ZenithJet. “Historically, their areas of expertise have included wealth management, real estate, and philanthropy. More recently, family offices have sought expert advice on aircraft management and related services.”
As Brexit looms, Houseman added, “there is an increased urgency to understanding potential challenges and ensuring that business aviation travel remains efficient, convenient, and luxurious.” He noted that Elit'Avia and ZenithJet are among of the few, if only companies, to tailor a program specifically to family office professionals.
