Welojets, the prestigious private aviation company in Spain, is expanding its presence in Europe, with its sights set on the UK. Renowned for its exclusive travel experiences with high-security standards, Welojets is becoming one of the most promising private aviation companies in the continent.
With a growth of 34% in 2023 and a predicted growth of 42% this year, Welojets aims to establish itself in Europe. The company announced its intention to gain traction in the UK by capitalizing on the substantial air traffic in the nation. The airline operates from different airports, including major hubs such as London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Luton and London City Airport, as well as other key airports such as Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh. In addition, it also offers flights from other remote airports, which are only accessible by private aircraft, such as Inverness, Newquay and the Shetland Islands. This allows them to offer extensive coverage and maximum flexibility for customers throughout the country.
This commitment to the British market is a strategic step forward for the company, as London is one of the most important hubs of private aviation globally, with over 57,000 flights a year, accounting for over 55% of British air travel. It has to be noted that the most popular destinations for Welojets travellers are Paris, Geneva, Milan and Nice, who can book their private flights with only 45 minutes’ advance notice. In addition, all flights allow passengers to carry anything from hand luggage to large loads, always adapting to the specific needs of each client.
“Our presence in the UK is a significant milestone. The business aviation sector in the country has surpassed 15% of pre-pandemic charter flight volumes, presenting a substantial growth opportunity,” said Alfredo Lisdero, CEO of Welojets.
Additionally, the company has recently added to its fleet its first owned aircraft for operations in Europe, which will significantly strengthen its ability to expand into the UK. The new Gulfstream G550, with intercontinental range and all the amenities to provide passengers with a unique travel experience, will connect the UK to major cities around the world. “This aircraft will strengthen our operational capacity and will improve the travel experience for our customers, consolidating our presence in the competitive UK market,” said Alfredo Lisdero.
In this way, the company strengthens its presence in the British market at the beginning of the summer season, aiming to capitalize on the high demand for executive flights during this time of the year. London is one of Europe’s busiest cities for air travel, with top destinations in 2023 including France (9,065 annual flights), Switzerland (4,167), Italy (4,139), and Spain (3,584).
Welojets strives to maintain excellence in all its services, partnering exclusively with certified operators to ensure the highest quality standards and maximum safety on every flight. From private jets to helicopters, the company offers a diversity of air mobility solutions to meet the needs of its most sophisticated customers.
The company is already working for the European Championship 2024 in Germany, offering not only private flights, but also Group Charter services that allow them to move from 50 to 180 passengers for certain matches. CEO Alfredo Lisdero confirms that they are expecting a significant increase in private and group flight bookings during this major sporting event. And he assures that they are prepared to meet the needs of all their clients, guaranteeing safe and efficient transport.
