S2 Episode 9: Corporate Jets: Smarter Buying, Better Flying, Staying Connected
On today’s episode, I’m joined by Steve Varsano, founder of The Jet Business, the world’s first and only street-level corporate jet showroom and a globally recognized leader in private aviation. A veteran of the industry with over 40 years of expertise in corporate jet sales, Steve has reshaped how jets are marketed and sold. From his first unforgettable aircraft deal that was an intense and unexpected negotiation that unfolded at gunpoint to building a globally respected jet brokerage in London, Steve’s journey is nothing short of captivating.
We pull back the curtain on the corporate jet world. Who really flies private? What are the true costs and considerations behind ownership? And why do flexibility, privacy, and productivity make corporate aviation indispensable for many businesses?
Steve also shares insight into evolving industry trends, highlighting how innovations like Starlink are transforming inflight connectivity, and why cabin pressure has become a critical factor in passenger experience.
Whether you're an aviation professional, frequent flyer, industry enthusiast, or even aspiring to own your own jet, this conversation offers rare insider knowledge and important considerations you won’t want to miss.
