Elite Jet

Elite Jet has built its reputation around a highly personal approach to private aviation, providing bespoke charter solutions for travelers moving across Africa and destinations worldwide. Established in 2014 by Gregory Ermes, the South African company combines regional expertise, operational precision, and discretion to manage journeys that extend far beyond a conventional point-to-point charter.

In 2026, Elite Jet was recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as the Best Luxury Private Jet Charter Company in South Africa, highlighting more than a decade of experience serving private clients, business leaders, government delegations, and internationally recognized figures.

At the center of Elite Jet’s offering is its VIP charter service. Every itinerary is individually planned, with the team overseeing the journey from the initial enquiry through to the passenger’s final destination. A diverse fleet, 24/7 personal assistance, and extensive knowledge of African aviation allow Elite Jet to coordinate everything from straightforward private flights to complex, remote, and multi-destination itineraries.

The company operates throughout Africa, Europe, and the United States, while its charter capabilities extend globally. Its particularly strong understanding of African destinations enables the team to navigate the logistical and operational demands associated with travel across the continent, creating tailored solutions according to each client’s schedule, preferences, and circumstances.

Discretion has also played an important role in the company’s development. Elite Jet has been entrusted with travel involving members of the Royal Family, British Government delegations, international celebrities, and prominent business figures, including Sir Richard Branson. The company has also coordinated specialist charters connected to major international events, including Formula One Grands Prix and FIFA World Cups.

Elite Jet holds internationally recognized Air Charter Association accreditation, while its services to the British Government have also received recognition from Scotland Yard through the presentation of a medallion.

Through personal accountability, proactive communication, trusted aviation partnerships, and rigorous operational oversight, Elite Jet continues to deliver private air travel shaped around the individual, bringing South African expertise to clients traveling across Africa and around the world.
