CEO/Founder New York Jet Company Spring Saunders Soars In Luxury Aviation Business

Sanders' pioneering spirit was evident in her early teens when she founded a dance studio, her first business in China. While living in China, Saunders launched several more thriving businesses, including a Mexican restaurant, an export service and an English language tutoring center.

In 2014, she relocated to Los Angeles and became vice president of business development for Malibu Wines. She went on to launch her first American-based business, Empire Concierge, a company that catered to upscale Chinese travelers. Her work in the bespoke services industry led her to develop alliances with several private jet companies.

After one year of curating her luxury concierge service, she recognized a high demand for private jet services by her high level Chinese and global clientele, and New York Jet Club (NYJC) was born.

Saunders, in conjunction with expert advisers in aviation, launched NYJC’s first location in Southern California in 2016. Since its inception, NYJC’s team has worked diligently to develop its luxury air fleet, uncover the most in demand flight routes and establish relationships with upscale partners in accommodations, real estate and special events.

Under Saunders’ leadership, the company experienced immediate success, garnering one million dollars in sales and acquiring its first aircraft within three months after launch.

She comments, “My favorite entrepreneurs are Elon Musk and Warren Buffet. I intend to become the female version of them.”

The first of its kind, all female run aviation company, NYJC currently owns and operates nine private jets and offers extensive concierge services to its high level clients.

Currently NYJC has a fully developed route from LA to NY and is the process of adding the most in demand locations around world that include London, Dubai, Shanghai and Beijing, as well as Hawaii and St. Kitts for members. NYJC also arranges special flights surrounding major events, including the Cannes Film Festival and The Academy Awards.

Saunders comments, “We are growing NYJC to have member routes to almost every country in the world and the largest fleet of any jet company.”

Residing in Los Angeles, New York and Shanghai, Saunders is focused on forging new partnerships and expanding the company further, both internationally and domestically.

The young entrepreneur is well under way to achieving this goal. The sky is literally the limit!
