Stellar, a Magellan Jets portfolio company, has acquired Fly Louie’s charter sourcing business division. “We are excited to welcome Fly Louie’s Platinum Charter division to the Stellar team,” said Stellar chief technology officer Terry Truta.
“As we continue to execute our strategic roadmap and grow our operator-centric marketplace, this combined entity will provide unparalleled expertise, technology, and retail demand,” he added. “Going forward, we will continue to evaluate and add additional products and services such as group purchasing, pilot benefits, and new AI tools that will provide greater value for operators.”
Stellar said it hopes the acquisition will allow Fly Louie’s customers to benefit from Stellar’s sales and quoting technology, noting that both aircraft operators and retail buyers of charter lift can leverage “Stellar’s marketplace and AI-driven tools to increase efficiency and revenue.”
“Stellar’s commitment to operators’ success is second to none in this industry,” said Fly Louie CEO Julia Takeda. “We have been working with Stellar for several years now and we see this as a natural evolution to couple Fly Louie’s proven track record of driving operator revenue with Stellar’s broader suite of tools, technology, and retail demand.”
Magellan Jets acquired Stellar in October 2023.
