Magellan Jets Enters Equestrian Market, Names Michale Belisle Brand Ambassador
(BOSTON, Mass.) – Private aviation company Magellan Jets has expanded its presence in sports by adding longtime equestrian executive Michale “Mike” Belisle as Brand Ambassador.
Belisle will help create and host unique equestrian experiences as well as develop content exclusively for Magellan Jets’ Private Clients. He will also be featured in marketing campaigns focused on the equestrian market.
The partnership’s authenticity lies in Belisle’s familiarity with Magellan Jets flying equestrian VIPs over the years.
Magellan Jets’ move into the equestrian sector parallels the demographics of its high-net-worth private flyers. Known for its discerning participants, the equine economy is estimated at $177B, according to the American Horse Council. Horse racing, show jumping and rodeo are experiencing significant lifts in attendance, sponsorships, media coverage and overall consumerism.
“There is no better partner than Magellan Jets when it comes to flying privately,” said Belisle. “It satisfies its loyal Private Clients at every turn, and that’s execution those in the equestrian world especially appreciate when traveling to events as spectators or competitors.”
“A growing number of our Private Clients are horse owners, riders and equestrian enthusiasts,” said Joshua Marc Hebert, Founder and CEO of Magellan Jets. “Mike knows very well the passion and dedication they give to the sport is similar to the personalization we provide clients time and again.”
During his three decades in the industry, Belisle founded, managed and advised many of the highest-purse events at the top of the sport. More recently, with TerraNova Events, a premier multi-discipline venue, he consulted on various aspects of the equestrian facilities since its inception. He was Operations Manager of the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida, the world’s largest and longest running equestrian event, as well as the Rolex Central Park Horse Show. Other executive involvement includes the Split Rock Jumping Tour, Ox Ridge Charity Horse Show, Silver Oak Jumper Tournament, Angelstone Tournaments and Fidelity Jumper Classic.
The addition of Belisle follows Magellan Jets’ continued advancement in the sports world, most recently in golf. The company was selected as the “Official Private Aviation Provider” of 4Aces Golf Club, captained by two-time major champion Dustin Johnson, on the LIV Golf League.
Many players on the professional golf Tours globally have purchased Magellan Jets’ Jet Cards and flown Charter with the company. Affluent recreational golfers rely on Magellan Jets to efficiently get to and from bucket-list golf courses and iconic country clubs across America and abroad. Bandon Dunes, Kiawah Island, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst and Whistling Straits are among the most popular destinations.
