I have worked with Jacob for 3 years on a number of high level and specialized charters. Jacob was also recently involved in a high profile tour that lasted for 3 months and involved visits to more than 50 countries. He has shown me that he is reliable and professional and certainly capable of navigating his way through airports globally. He has a great personality that lends to his ability to get handlers, crews, airport staff and clients to want to help. I highly recommend Jacob for his aviation knowledge that is wide ranging. This helped make a difference on my last round the world project. Thanks again Jacob and see you on the next one.....!

Jacob was our rep on the Miley Cyrus tour in South America. It was fantastic having someone like Jacob onboard. He was efficient and thorough in all his preparations and communicated with all the airport vendors on our behalf. We had a very smooth ride. I would greatly recommend you take him with you if you charter a plane.
