Exotic Flights is like the five-star Hooters of the private jet world. Scantily dressed “Flight Girls” serve up gourmet food and beverages to its exclusive clientele, and the company’s CEO, Rudy Gonzalez, encourages the girls to initiate conversation with passengers. By all means, the Miami-based company is anything but your typical aircraft charter company.
Charging by the hour, Exotic Flights does not charge membership fees, not is it a fractional ownership club. Clients simply book flights up to two hours before their intended departure, and they are off in one of the company’s first-class Gulfsteams, helicopters or other personal aircraft; ferried door-to-door in one of the company’s limousines of course.
Everyone from Diddy to Akon to Scott Storch has used this “ultra private jet service,” and the company prides itself on its urban appeal, undoubtedly influenced by Gonzalez’s past experience managing logistics and security for clients like Mike Tyson and Christina Aguilera.
At the heart Exotic Flights business model is its focus on glamorous Flight Girls, which the company claims are “kempt, refreshed, beautiful, and friendly.” Beijing staff aside (pictured below), the Flight Girls look more like the crowd you’d see on stage at a top-notch Vegas strip club than the busted flight staff employed by many major US commercial airlines. But don’t be fooled by their good looks. Many Flight Girls are in training to obtain their private pilot’s licenses, a mandatory part of their contract with Exotic Flights.
Unfortunately, if you fly Exotic Flights, you won’t find Diddy in the lobby. With gas prices at their current levels, you may see a few more of the company’s celebrities flying comercial flights.
