IN OUR FOUNDER'S WORDS
Hi, my name is Carlos Mancera and I'm the Founder and Managing Director for Blue Reef Aviation. In the first place, I would like to thank you for your interest in Blue Reef and for taking the time to read our story.
I grew up surrounded by aviation; my father was an avid Microsoft Flight Simulator enthusiast - a frustrated pilot who never got his license - and a couple of uncles had their own planes which we as a family frequently flew in. That was the seed for my biggest passion in life and it led me to obtain my private pilot certificate in 2018.
It was during the summer of 2020 that I booked my first private jet charter as a client. I was planning a weekend getaway with my friends to the Caribbean and it seemed like the perfect way to get there; however, my experience was far from perfect. It felt like after paying a considerable sum of money I was merely receiving transportation from point A to point B, with no added value. The quality of the service and attention that we received left much to be desired... we didn't even get water bottles, I'll leave it at that.
This experience was certainly a big disappointment for me, but it gave me the motivation to start Blue Reef. I was as determined as one can be. My mission was, and still is, to provide charter customers with top notch service that exceeds their expectations on every single flight. I promise you won't get off the jet with the same sour feeling I had back then; instead, you won't want to get off the jet at all!
With access to a fleet of over 4,500 aircraft worldwide, we undertake the challenge of offering tailor-made charter flights that perfectly suit YOU. No matter the time or the place, we are always ready to provide the perfect solution to your travel needs while guaranteeing the most competitive prices in the market.
Hope to have you onboard soon,
Carlos F. Mancera
Founder & Managing Director
