Discover how MARQUIS is redefining private aviation, blending personalized service, world-class safety, and exclusive travel experiences for the world’s most discerning clients.
In the competitive luxury travel market, client retention is a significant challenge. However, MARQUIS stands apart, boasting a remarkable 93% client retention rate, a figure derived from internal records, reflecting the satisfaction of its highly selective clientele. But what makes this achievement possible? Here’s how MARQUIS has redefined private aviation with its unique approach.
The Problem: A Luxury Travel Industry That Lacked True Personalization
Despite a growing demand for private aviation, many private aviation services fall short of meeting the exacting standards of their clients. Ric Davis, founder of MARQUIS, identified a gap in the industry where private aviation services were transactional and often lacked the personalized experience that ultra-wealthy travelers expect. Drawing on his 17 years of experience in aviation, Ric sought to create a service that not only offered flights but crafted complete, elevated travel experiences.
The Solution: MARQUIS, Tailored Service, Unmatched Safety, and Exclusive Benefits
MARQUIS has solidified its position as a global leader in private aviation, offering bespoke services that prioritize personalized travel experiences. By combining truly customized service with uncompromising safety standards, MARQUIS has set itself apart from competitors in the luxury travel market.
What makes MARQUIS stand out is its commitment to crafting tailored travel experiences that go beyond standard jet charters. Every aspect of the company’s offerings is designed to deliver a seamless, luxurious travel experience, one that prioritizes not just the flight, but every moment of the journey.
What Makes MARQUIS Unique:
- Personalized Service: Each member is paired with a 1:1 dedicated advisor, ensuring exclusive, personalized attention. Unlike many private aviation services where advisors manage numerous clients, MARQUIS ensures a single point of contact for each client.
- Commitment to Excellence in Safety: MARQUIS partners exclusively with air operators holding ARGUS and/or Wyvern certification, ensuring clients experience the highest safety and performance standards across its global fleet. With access to 2,400 aircraft in the US, 3,000+ in Europe, and 5,700 total globally, clients can trust that they are always in safe hands.
- Exclusive Hotel Partnerships: MARQUIS works with top-tier hotels and resorts like Aman Resorts, Six Senses, and Mandarin Oriental, guaranteeing VIP treatment and access to the world’s finest accommodations, enhancing the overall luxury travel experience.
- Complete Travel Experiences: MARQUIS doesn’t just offer private jet services. It crafts complete, personalized travel experiences. From securing access to exclusive events to designing one-of-a-kind itineraries, MARQUIS ensures that every part of the journey reflects the client’s desires. The experience is customized from takeoff to touchdown.
MARQUIS has redefined what it means to offer luxury aviation services, transforming them into a complete, personalized experience that reflects the high standards of its elite clientele. As the only global travel concierge focused solely on private aviation, MARQUIS ensures every journey is more than just a flight, it’s a tailored adventure designed with the utmost care and precision.
Proven Success: Client Retention and Industry Recognition
MARQUIS’s approach has led to impressive results, with 60% of clients upgrading their membership within the first year—a clear reflection of the satisfaction and trust clients place in its services.
In recognition of this commitment to excellence, MARQUIS was awarded the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2025 for Best Luxury Private Aviation Charter Services in California, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
