LGBTQ travel, re-imagined.

Pride Air Group is re-imagining LGBTQ travel

Traveling to a Pride Festival, Cruise Departure or your favorite Circuit Party should be a fun, exciting and dare we say, relaxing experience.  More often than not however, you find yourself booked on connecting flights, paying all manner of extra fees, crammed into a middle seat with no meaningful food on hours-long flights.

 

Pride Air Group's better alternative follows three guiding principles.  Create and deliver a superior travel experience. Focus on LGBTQ community, events and destinations. And build deep strategic partnerships with our community, destinations and travel partners.

Using a Tabula Rasa (Blank Slate) approach, we went back to the drawing board and picked and chose ONLY those elements that add to a positive, enjoyable travel experience. This starts with our overall business model and includes our booking policies and levels of service, the type of aircraft we use, the technologies we integrate into our products, and the markets that we serve.

 

Pride Air Group collaborates with our portfolio of operating companies, coordinating strategy to ensure that operations are aligned with our guiding principles. We manage centralized functions such as fleet, fuel, maintenance and real estate arrangements, and we set performance targets for the operating companies, tracking their progress and allocating capital within the Group. 

 

The operating companies, each with their own individual brand identities and customized business models, are empowered to execute their strategies and are fully accountable for their financial results.
