Under the partnership, Cirrus now manages two Challenger 850 aircraft for Stella Jets, combining Cirrus' aircraft management and operational capabilities with Stella Jets' experience-driven approach.
Cirrus Aviation Services, one of the largest private aviation management and charter companies in the US, and Dallas, Texas-based Stella Jets have entered into an expanded strategic partnership centred on aircraft management and members-only private travel. The partnership comes as Cirrus Aviation continues to grow its presence in Texas following its September 2025 expansion to Dallas Love Field.
Under the partnership, Cirrus now manages two Challenger 850 aircraft for Stella Jets, combining Cirrus' aircraft management and operational capabilities with Stella Jets' experience-driven approach to private aviation and personalised service.
In addition, Theos, a private members-only club operated by Cirrus Aviation Services, will partner with Stella ShAire, Stella Jets' exclusive social club, to develop select by-the-seat private jet routes and curated experiences. The collaboration will allow eligible members of both communities to reserve individual seats aboard private aircraft while connecting streamlined travel with thoughtfully selected destinations, events and shared experiences.
“Our expansion to Dallas Love Field last year was about establishing Cirrus as a long-term aviation partner in Texas, and this relationship is an example of that strategy in action,” says Eric Grilly, president of Cirrus Aviation Services. “Stella Jets shares our belief that private aviation should be defined by safety, reliability and highly personalised service. Managing these two Challenger 850 aircraft represents an important step in our relationship, while the collaboration between Theos and Stella ShAire opens the door to thoughtful new routes and experiences that bring greater value to both membership communities.”
The spacious Challenger 850 aircraft are well suited for group travel, by-the-seat routes and curated member experiences, with Cirrus providing the operational infrastructure and aviation expertise needed to maintain rigorous standards for safety, service and reliability.
“Choosing the right aircraft management partner is essential, and Cirrus brings the operational expertise, infrastructure and service standards that align with how we want our aircraft and clients supported,”adds Tia Minzoni, founder and CEO of Stella Jets. “Bringing Stella ShAire and Theos together also creates an exciting opportunity to expand our communities and introduce new ways for members to travel, build meaningful connections and experience private aviation together.”
The partnership advances both companies' growth in Texas and expands the reach of their respective membership offerings, with initial routes, dates, eligibility requirements and booking details to be announced as plans are finalised.
