Florida-based Magnifica Air plans to launch scheduled flights in 2027, aiming to offer a hybrid luxury travel experience.
The airline intends to provide private jet-style comfort and services at a fraction of the cost of chartering a private plane.
Its refurbished Airbus A220s and A321neos will feature plush interiors with sofas and bars, alongside private terminal services including concierge baggage handling and facial recognition security.
Initial routes will connect major U.S. cities such as Miami, New York and Los Angeles, with seasonal services planned for Napa Valley and the Caribbean.
Magnifica Air, a division of CIG Companies, seeks to fill a market gap for wealthy travelers desiring exclusivity without the full private jet expense.
