We were introduced to Stella Jets<\/a>, a women-owned private aviation company based in Southlake, two years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh, the places they are going \u2014 and have been since lifting off as a charter broker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tia Minzoni, president and co-founder, and her co-founding daughter, Jasmine Johnson, have since launched two other Stella brands \u2014 StellaShAire<\/a> and Stella Experiences<\/a> \u2014 and, even more recently, have been introduced to a nationwide audience.<\/p>\n

The company was featured in an episode of Bravo\u2019s \u201cReal Housewives of Potomac\u201d<\/a> this week to show off the luxury private jet experiences it has to offer.<\/p>\n

Stella Experiences, brand- and celebrity-curated travel events and sweepstakes, gives travelers a chance to hop on board with a favorite celebrity or athlete. StellaShAire is a members-only, by-the-seat private aviation service that bridges the gap between first-class commercial travel and full jet charter, offering private terminal access, concierge service, and a streamlined, stress-free flying experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe production company had heard of us from some of their talent,\u201d says Minzoni, who joked that she \u201cnever wanted to be famous. For me, everything is about the brand, and I was scared to death to see myself on TV. My friends were like, \u2018Let\u2019s do a watch party.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, no, no, no, no.\u201d<\/p>\n

The episode showcased Stella Jets\u2019 white-glove concierge service as cast members experienced private jet travel. The appearance marks another milestone for the company, which has become a household name since its 2022 acquisition by Minzoni and Johnson.<\/p>\n

The company offers access to nearly 7,000 aircraft operators worldwide through its three divisions. Next month, the company will have a ribbon cutting for the newest member of its jet fleet.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing featured on ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’\u00a0is our chance to shatter every outdated assumption about private aviation,\u201d says Minzoni. \u201cWe\u2019re not just accessible, we\u2019re disrupting an industry that\u2019s been gatekept for far too long. And we\u2019re doing it with women at the helm, proving that luxury aviation can be exceptional for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gatekept refers to access to private aviation, implying that cost, culture, and entrenched power structures have historically kept the industry narrow, exclusive, and male-dominated.<\/p>\n

Stella also has a new headquarters \u2014 Addison Airport \u2014 where the company operates from its own private terminal and luxury lounge, one of the few companies with dedicated private terminals. The company\u2019s concierge team personalizes every detail, from in-flight catering to ground transportation, as showcased in the episode.<\/p>\n

The opportunity to work with the women of \u201cReal Housewives,\u201d Minzoni says, \u201cwasn\u2019t just business, it was a statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building the table we weren\u2019t invited to, and we\u2019re bringing other women with us,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The Bravo appearance also won\u2019t be a one-hit wonder. Stella will get more exposure in an upcoming episode of \u201cReal Housewives of Atlanta\u201d this summer, as well as something to be announced with Netflix, Minzoni says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited about that,\u201d Minzoni says. \u201cWe\u2019re doing a lot of stuff with production companies and talent, especially under Stella Experiences, and putting together these cool experiences for the cast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, and a shoutout to the hair and makeup artist, Minzoni makes sure to add.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually didn\u2019t hate seeing myself on TV. I thought it turned out really well. And then all the ladies that were on the flight \u2014 they are a hundred times more beautiful in person than they are on TV, which made me feel a lot better about how I look on TV.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We were introduced to Stella Jets, a women-owned private aviation company based in Southlake, two years ago.
