‘Semi-private’ jet company partners with Four Seasons on new L.A. to Hawaii routes

A company that offers luxury flights aboard semi-private jets has announced a new partnership with an equally luxurious hotel brand.

Aero and Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea are teaming up to launch a new semi-private jet experience between Los Angeles and Maui, creating the first weekly route of its kind open to all travelers between the mainland U.S. and Hawaii.

The new service begins in November over the Thanksgiving holiday and offers a high-end alternative to commercial first class aboard a 12-passenger Gulfstream-IV jet.

The route departs from Van Nuys Airport on Saturdays and returns Sundays from Kahului Airport. Prices start at $5,495 one way.

“This collaboration extends our signature Four Seasons Resort Maui experience into the skies, creating a seamless transition from city to sanctuary,” said Four Seasons Regional Vice President Charlie Parker.

Aero passengers will check in through private terminals in both cities and enjoy Erewhon-catered meals, Starlink Wi-Fi, an open bar, and pet-friendly policies. The Gulfstream-IV marks Aero’s latest fleet addition and is designed to bridge the gap between private charters and traditional first class.

“Our expansion to Maui will bring another coveted destination to Aero’s route map,” said Aero CEO Ben Klein. “With the introduction of Gulfstream-IV jets to our fleet, we will be able to provide an unparalleled experience offering comfort and convenience that is traditionally only found in the world of private charters.”

Travelers who book both the flight and accommodations at Four Seasons Resort Maui gain access to exclusive benefits including preferred flight pricing, special transfers, late check-out, and up to $800 in resort credit.

The beachfront resort features oceanfront suites, saltwater pools, and dining from Wolfgang Puck’s Spago and newly opened sushi restaurant KOMO, officials said.

These experience are subject to availability and cannot be combined with other offers.
