It was our pleasure to catch up with Luzi Matzig, founder and CEO of VIP Jets, a private jet charter and air ambulance service in Thailand and the ASEAN market.

I started VIP Jets back in 2008 by purchasing a new Cessna Citation Mustang C510 and earning my jet type rating at the age of 60.

VIP Jets are a small, family-run company, paying great attention to customer service and aircraft maintenance with a dedicated and well trained team of professionals..

Flying is the easy part of our business whereas the trend for more and more administration due to increased aviation rules and regulations slows down the growth of private jet operations.

We often get requests by animal lovers who want to take their pets along. We are presently working on a private jet flight with one cat lover plus ten pussies!

We plan to acquire a used Citation XLS later on this year to expand our Medevac missions in Asia.

I see a great future in hybrid eVTOLs entering the market in the next 5 years. VIP Jets plan to be one of the launch operators serving the EEC (Eastern Economic Corridor) in Thailand.
