ABOUT VAULT AVIATION

We Take A ‘Client First’ Approach to Private Jet Charters

Since 2015, Vault Aviation has been redefining what it means to take a ‘client first’ approach in the private jet charter industry. We define our primary role differently than many in the business; we’re private jet charter advisors, not private jet charter salesmen. As advisors, Vault Aviation provides its clients with the information necessary to make the most informed decisions on each and every private jet charter flight. By putting our clients first, we give them the best experience and they give us the best reputation! That’s why we are the leaders in On Demand private jet charters, and why our clients come back again and again.

The Vault Jet Story

Co-Founders Weston Hull and Paul Taskalos have been best friends since meeting in eighth grade. The pair attended the University of Notre Dame before taking separate career paths. Prior to entering the private aviation industry, Weston worked for an NFL Sports Agency, where he honed his client relations skills. Paul began his career as a litigation attorney, handling complex issues daily.

Weston and Paul combined their unique skill sets to create a private jet charter company that is truly On Demand and client centered. Vault Aviation uses some concepts from the sports world, like the agent’s fiduciary duty to his client. And we use skills from the legal world too, like advocating zealously for our clients when we source and price private charter jets.

Vault Aviation Gives Back

Vault Aviation is dedicated to making an impact by giving back. Vault makes a pledge to every client that we will find a way to get involved in causes that are important to them. Since 2015, Vault has sponsored dozens of charity golf tournaments, celebrity dinners, and foundation events across the United States. We support our clients in the air, on the field, in the board room, and most importantly, in their local communities. Some of our charitable partners include:
