Bernard Arnault and LVMH, the world\u2019s largest luxury conglomerate, are making a bold entrance into the private aviation space. Through their private equity firm L Catterton, they have taken a bold step into the ultra-luxury<\/a> aviation sector with an $800 million investment in Flexjet, marking the largest equity investment ever made in a private jet travel provider. This move values Flexjet at approximately $4 billion and signals a new era where the worlds of elite fashion, hospitality, and private aviation intersect. Unlike Warren Buffett\u2019s full acquisition of NetJets in 1998, LVMH\u2019s approach allows Flexjet to remain independent, under the continued leadership of founder and chairman Kenn Ricci. The deal opens the door to strategic collaborations between LVMH’s constellation of brands and Flexjet’s vision of exclusive, high-touch flight experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L Catterton\u2019s $800 million investment secures a 20% stake in Flexjet, valuing the company at $4 billion, marking the highest-ever valuation for a private jet travel provider. With this new partnership, Flexjet aims to elevate its service offerings by potentially incorporating LVMH\u2019s signature luxury aesthetics and lifestyle touchpoints. Ricci envisions the company operating more like an exclusive club than a traditional aviation provider, focusing on cultivating a high-value community experience that extends well beyond time spent in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
