Meet the Private Jets UK Team

The Private Jets UK team consists of 33 aviation professionals working across our offices in London, Paris and Berlin. Together we bring more than 150 years of combined experience in business aviation brokerage, aircraft operations, ground logistics and client services. We have arranged over 12,000 charter flights since our founding, and our team handles everything from a 52-minute London to Paris sector to a 10-hour intercontinental mission - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across six languages.

Our consultants are not generalists. Each member of the team has a defined specialisation - whether that is European leisure routes, corporate long-haul, Alpine ski season logistics, or complex multi-leg international itineraries - and every client is assigned a named personal consultant who takes responsibility for their booking from first contact to wheels-down. This is the model that distinguishes Private Jets UK from larger, more impersonal brokers where enquiries move between departments and accountability is diffuse.

 

 

Management team

Private Jets UK is led by a management team with deep roots in European business aviation. Our founders and heads of department bring direct brokerage experience, operator relationships and regional market knowledge that informs every aspect of how we work.

How our team works

Private Jets UK operates a 24/7 model across three European offices. When you submit a request - at any time of day or night - it is received and acted upon immediately by whoever is on shift across our network. We do not have a voicemail system or an out-of-hours message service. A real consultant picks up every enquiry within 5 minutes around the clock.

Our three-office structure creates natural shift coverage. London handles the primary UK and North American business hours window. Paris covers the early morning European window and late evening Middle Eastern contacts. Berlin covers the Central European corporate day and connects to our Eastern European operator network. Between the three offices, our team maintains effective 24/7 coverage without any single consultant carrying an unreasonable out-of-hours load.

• Every client has a named consultant. From your first enquiry, you are assigned a personal aviation consultant who knows your preferences, understands your requirements and takes personal responsibility for every booking;
• Seamless handover between offices. When your consultant's shift ends, a structured brief is passed to the next office. Your new contact is fully informed and can respond without asking you to repeat information;
• Direct management access. For complex missions, urgent requests or matters requiring senior authorisation, our heads of department are directly contactable and respond personally.

 

Languages we speak

Our team collectively covers six languages, enabling us to communicate with clients, operators and ground handlers across all our key markets without reliance on intermediaries or translation services.

• English - all team members. Primary language for all documentation and contracts;
• German - Mike Lewis (London), Roman Meier (Berlin), Merryl Rice (London), and four additional members of the Berlin team. Primary language for German, Austrian and Swiss corporate clients;
• French - Anna Kovalevskaya (Paris), Steve Barton (London), and three additional Paris office members. Primary language for French-speaking clients and Francophone operator communications;
• Russian - Evgeniy Eglitis (CEO), Anna Kovalevskaya (Paris), Roman Meier (Berlin). Used for Russian-speaking clients and CIS region operator relationships;
• Spanish - Anna Kovalevskaya (Paris), Bill Ashley (London). Used for Spanish and Latin American client communications;
• Italian - Heather Davidson (London) and two Paris office members. Used for Italian corporate clients and operator communications;
• Arabic - Lenard Miles (London). Used for Gulf region client communications and operator relationships in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
