Quinta Jets offers private jet connections from major European cities, now complemented by OPUL Jets’ extensive fleet, signature concierge services, luxury transfers and VIP airport assistance. Just 15 minutes from Faro International Airport (FAO), Quinta do Lago is the perfect gateway for private aviation.

Quinta Jets’ CEO, Oliver Pebbles, said: "Joining forces with OPUL Jets is an incredible opportunity for Quinta Jets. Our dedication to luxury aviation aligns perfectly with OPUL Jets’ vision, and this partnership allows us to provide our clients with an even greater level of service."

Commenting on the strategic value of the deal, OPUL Jets’ CEO, Chris Wall, said: "Quinta Jets has built a remarkable reputation for excellence in private jet services. By bringing them into OPUL Jets, we are not only expanding our reach throughout Europe but also reinforcing our commitment to providing top-tier luxury travel experiences. Portugal is a key destination for our clientele, and this acquisition ensures that we can offer unmatched service and accessibility."

Building on this momentum, the Quinta Jets deal follows OPUL Jets’ recent acquisition of Zenith Aviation, a leading UK-based private jet operator renowned for its operations at London Biggin Hill Airport and a fleet that includes Learjet and Challenger aircraft. The Zenith integration significantly strengthened OPUL Jets’ footprint in the UK, enhancing its fleet diversity and operational reach across Northern Europe.

Together, these acquisitions underscore OPUL Jets’ ambitious growth strategy - focused on expanding its European network, investing in sustainability, and introducing new aircraft to meet the evolving needs of discerning travellers.
