Private jet firm expands into music industry

AN INTERNATIONAL private jet and helicopter company has launched a new division to cater for electronic artists and DJs.

York-based FlyMeNow’s new division will cater for DJs and artists who are travelling between shows in different countries within the same evening and will be headed up by FlyMeNow’s recently appointed commercial manager, Elliot Bottomley.

Director Andrew Whitney said: “Elliot’s decade of experience with Safehouse, who manage many leading international acts, spans every aspect of our business. He understands how demanding an artist’s schedule can be and how crucial the planning stage is with such tight itineraries. 

“It’s an incredibly exciting time for FlyMeNow, focusing on tour management will cement us as the go-to private jet broker for top talent managers looking to take the strain out of diverse artist schedules.”

Launched in 2007, FlyMeNow specialises in bespoke business travel, including travel to major sporting events and music festivals. It has access to more than 10,000 aircraft across the globe.
