Minerva Private Travel is set to take control of its jet operations following the success of its signature chauffeur service, something its founder admits was a "risky" but ultimately highly worthwhile investment.

Amanda Teale, founder of Minerva Private Travel, has wanted to control her private jet services for a long time 

The VIP travel concierge will soon offer its own private jet service, having realised the value in directly managing its clients’ transfers.

“I’ve wanted to do this for years,” Amanda Teale, founder of Minerva Private Travel, told TTG. “I just wanted to have more control.”

Rather than booking jet travel through a broker, Teale will now deal directly with aircraft operators. She says the decision allows Minerva Private Travel to further personalise its clients’ journeys by granting more control over the onboard experience.
