Staff WriterIn the rarefied air where birdies meet Boeing and fairways end on a runway, Magellan Jets has emerged as golf’s unofficial airline of choice.
With a record-breaking 150% uptick in bookings over last year, the private aviation provider is now the de facto flight partner for both PGA TOUR stars and LIV Golf League stalwarts heading to the sport’s crown jewels—including the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the Ryder Cup.
This surge in demand isn’t just about luxury. It’s about loyalty. Golfers aren’t just booking flights; they’re joining a tribe.
The numbers tell their own story. Whether it’s Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania (June 12–15), Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland (July 17–20), or Bethpage State Park on Long Island for the Ryder Cup (September 26–28), Magellan Jets is already on the tee sheet—ready to deliver champions, caddies, and celebrity fans with a glass of something chilled in hand.
Among the high flyers? None other than Dustin Johnson, former U.S. Open champ and charter member of the 4Aces Golf Club.
Johnson’s relationship with Magellan Jets isn’t just transactional—it’s habitual. The man has logged more hours in a Gulfstream than some pilots.
Joining him aloft are teammates Thomas Pieters, Patrick Reed, Harold Varner III, and fellow Magellan Jets ambassadors like PGA TOUR contender Will Zalatoris and teaching legend Claude Harmon III.
It’s not just the pros cashing in on this sky-high service. “Attending golf’s most prestigious and highly contested tournaments is an annual rite of passage for some and a once-only memory of a lifetime for others,” says Josh Lesnick, Chief Commercial Officer of Magellan Jets.
“Travelling in style is part of the experience, and our team goes the extra mile to make trips hassle-free and ultra-special for Private Clients.”
In April, nearly 10% of the Masters field flew into Augusta under Magellan Jets’ care. No delays. No gate agents barking boarding orders. Just a smooth flight and a straight path to Amen Corner.
But it’s not just pros getting this red-carpet treatment. Discerning amateurs—those chasing the dream at Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, or Kiawah—are also buckling up.
Each Magellan Jets flyer is paired with a dedicated Private Aviation Advisor, a personal caddy for the clouds, who manages every detail of the travel journey, from tee-off to touchdown.
Destinations like Bandon Dunes and Whistling Straits have become second homes for Magellan Jets clients who prefer their golf with a side of caviar and convenience.
And it’s not just hype—the accolades stack up like trophies on a mantel. The company was recently crowned “Best Private Jet Charter 2024” by Modern Luxury and secured a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America.
As golf’s global calendar heats up, the fairways are calling—and increasingly, so are the jet engines.
For those with the game and the means, Magellan Jets is the ultimate first-class ticket to golf’s greatest stages.
Fore… and fly.
