preferred partnership status with both Kempinski Hotels and the world’s leading superyacht charter management company,

the luxury yachting industry” says Christian Hatje, President of AirClub and Senior Vice President Business Aviation at PrivatAir.
These new globally renowned associates, the first for AirClub in the world of high‐end luxury services, hold dear the same
impeccable standards of service and ethics as their new corporate jet partner, making them the natural choices for mutual
preferred partner status in the realms of extraordinary travel and hospitality experiences.
Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group, Kempinski Hotels provides exclusivity and individuality for
memorable and unique travel experiences. With sumptuous hotels in destinations across
Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia they perfectly complement the worldwide network of
diversified, exceptional and individual expertise of the leading corporate alliance. The mutual
newsletter and website presentation enables advanced communication possibilities and joint
promotions. Organised trips for top customers as well as special offers are conducted with
preferential rates of exchange.
From air to land and now to sea, AirClub’s superyachting preferred partner, OCEAN
Independence, delivers exquisite experiences to clients chartering, owning or buying

“This strategic alliance of world leaders in superyacht charter and private jet charter is a natural
fit, it will bring sound commercial benefits to the owners of the superyachts and private jets
both parties manage, as well as offering our yachting clients the assurance of a private jet
charter network with our stamp of approval” says Toby Maclaurin, Commercial Director at
