It’s almost time for the musicians to take the stage and enlighten us with a language everyone understands: music. Yes, the Austin City Limits [ACL] Music festival is nearing and with it the excitement to watch the brilliant artists display their talents.

Austin City Limits: The Event

This annual event takes place on two consecutive, three-day weekends in October. The festival started in 2002 and, initially, took up only one weekend. It wasn’t until 2013 that the event spread out over two weekends.

This festival is the child of the ACL television music program that’s recorded in Austin, Texas. The ACL show was Bill Arhos’s idea and the first season ran in 1976. The show helped to put Austin on the map as “Live Music Capital of the World.” The ACL television show also helped to make the festival the success it is.

Austin City Limits: When, Where & Who

The ACL Music Festival will take place in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. The park will be set with eight stages from the 5th of October to the 7th of October and the 12th of October to the 14th of October.

Along with witnessing the talents at the park, visitors will also get to check out the activities, the art market, and enjoy famous Austin food and drinks.

JETEX, ALWAYS COMPLETING YOUR JOURNEY!

The Super Bowl is an iconic time of year! It’s the game, the skill, the effort, and the dedication – and so much more! It’s a time of year that we all look forward to. Especially, the commercials. It’s possibly the only time of year that we get excited to see a marketing plan play out in front of us. It’s the spark, message, creativity, and humor!

Every game will be on almost every TV in the US and hundreds of other screens all around the world. Every game will have you on the edge of your seat, ready to cheer for your team or have tears rolling down your face. This is precisely the reason why the world’s biggest brands spend time and money to have the perfect commercial playing on every screen because no matter the outcome – a good ad will have you thinking of something different!

Everyone has their own opinions, this is true. But, these commercials are undoubtedly winning the day:

Apple – 1984 Super Bowl Commercial, “1984”

This commercial was only ever aired once on television, and that was during the 3rd quarter of the 1984 Super Bowl football game. Many people that watched this ad suspected that it would be an utter flop. But, the ad was not at all a flop. Mesmerized consumers flooded electronic stores the following week when the Macintosh hit the shelves.

The ad portrayed Apple’s message very clearly: “Think Differently,” and technology will be a game changer.

Pepsi – 1992 Super Bowl Commercial, “Cindy Crawford”

The early 90’s brought life to the “Original Supermodels,” Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Tatjana Patitz. It makes sense that the Pepsi company would partner with one of the superstars to promote their product.  An iconic commercial that won’t be easily forgotten, a superstar, a supercar, and the, then, newly designed can.

MacDonald’s – 1993 Super Bowl Commercial, “The Showdown”

The commercial is more than just a little ludicrous, but it was an instant hit. The ad brought together two rivals to keep shooting hoops until one person would miss, whoever misses would have to watch the other eat a Big Mac. Yes, the shots were impossible, but this ad made the saying “nothing but net” famous and has had a few remakes since.

Budweiser – 1995 Super Bowl Commercial, “Singing Frogs”

It’s so simple that it’s brilliant! This famous Singing Frogs ad played on the simple syllables of the word Budweiser. Singing frogs are bound to be a definite win!

Doritos – 2007 Super Bowl Commercial, “Live The Flavor”

This commercial perfectly explains the Doritos flavors. It’s love at first “Doritos” sight, it’s got a concerning storyline, and it makes you cackle – what more does an ad need to do?

Google – 2009 Super Bowl Commercial, “Parisian Love”

This particular ad wasn’t meant to be a commercial to be televised during the Super Bowl. But, after Google saw all the positive reactions from the YouTube ads, the company decided to show it off during the Super Bowl. It is an honest representation of the daily searches people make when they are starting a family.

Old Spice – 2010 Super Bowl Commercial, “The Man, Your Man Could Smell Like”

This is the ad that revolutionized memes. This commercial was shot with a YouTube Lebel production, which worked to reach its targeted audience. Other brands have tried to replicate the meme styled ad, but Old Spice still takes the win!

Snickers – 2010 Super Bowl Commercial, “Betty White”

This is a must-see ad! Snickers hit the jackpot when the company started the slogan “You’re not you when you’re hungry,” and the saying does ring very true! Betty White was just the start of a series of celebrities playing the “hangry” roles.

Volkswagen – 2011 Super Bowl Commercial, “The Force”

It’s a Star Wars themed ad, how can it not be a winner? This was just what Volkswagen needed to get back into the Super Bowl commercial scene. Playing on a child’s imagination and technological advances was just pure genius!

Amazon – 2018 Super Bowl Commercial, “Alexa Loses Her Voice”

Humorous, enjoyable, and truthful. The commercial does point out that A.I has become heavily relied on, but it does also point out that people are uniquely different and require different pieces of information to get about their day. Not sure if Gordon Ramsay shouting at you is the solution to Alexa not being able to speak, though.

Are you itching to watch all the commercials, performances, and game plays live?

Sitting under cover of three mountains sits the capital city of the Republic of China. This history filled city also homes one of our three Operation Centers and our Beijing Location.

The old, yet modern, city of Beijing has been dubbed as the capital of the country six times by different dynasties and governments. The city has had many names before it was settled that the 2nd most populous city in China would be called Beijing.

The city has plenty of stories to tell with its vast history. This traditional, yet modern, city homes not one or two, but seven UNESCO World Heritage sites – from the Great Wall, the longest wall in the world, to the Forbidden City, the largest palace in the world, to the Summer Palace, with the world’s largest imperial garden, and more.

Beijing isn’t just a hub for history and ancient stories – the city has so much more to offer. The city has over 90 universities which rank among the best schools in China. Beijing is also an economic, technology, and entrepreneurial hub. The Zhongguancun area is China’s version of Silicon Valley – the center of technology entrepreneurship and innovation.

With this city being the second largest city in the country, by population, it only makes sense that its main airport is busy. The Beijing Capital International Airport [IATA: PEK, ICAO: ZBAA] expanded in 2008 for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The airport’s Terminal 3 is the second largest terminal in the world. The building itself is the sixth largest building in the world, covering a total of 1480 hectares [~3657 Acres] of land. This means that the airport is always busy and takes a while to get around, but don’t worry because we can get you there faster.

Landing in Beijing

The perfect journey doesn’t just happen – it takes well-studied plans to be executed perfectly. However, what makes a trip perfect from start to end is having the control of deciding when you leave, and when you arrive. The Beijing Capital Airport is the city’s main international airport, which means it is always bustling with people. We can get you through customs and immigration faster, and have a car waiting to take you to your hotel.

Our Beijing location has served hundreds of customers and continues to serve more customers while offering a variety of services happily:

An Unbeatable Location

Traveling around the busy city isn’t difficult, and by being streamlined through the airport, you can get to your destination quicker. Heading to the world known Great Wall of China takes only an hour and ten minutes by cars. Going to explore the Forbidden city will take under 50 minutes. Heading to Beijing City Center only takes a forty-minute car ride.

For Your Aircraft

The Beijing Capital Airport has a runway with the length of 12,467-ft [~3,800 meters]. The airport’s runway can accommodate any type of aircraft looking to land at the city’s main airport. If you need aircraft maintenance, then let us know so we can arrange it for you while you explore the spectacular city.

Lying on the River Manzanares is the capital of Spain, Madrid. The third largest city in Europe also homes our Madrid location.

On top of a sand and clay plateau known as the Meseta [derived from the Spanish word “Mesa” which means table], just near to the geographical center of the Iberian Peninsula, is the country’s political, economic, and cultural center. This is Madrid – this is the city homes the Spanish Royal Family, the World Tourism Organization [UNWTO], and the Los Madriles [many Madrids] also known as the Madrileños, the name given to people from the capital city.

Whether you’re headed to Madrid to see the legendary Real Madrid team play or heading there to grab a bite from the world’s oldest restaurant, Sobrino de Botín, you’ll want to be on the fast track through one of Europe’s busiest airports. The Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport [IATA: MAD, ICAO: LEMD] is not just the largest airport in Europe [by physical size], but it served 53.4 million passengers in 2017, ranking it as the sixth busiest airport in Europe. We can get you passed the hustle and bustle faster, by streamlining you through our Madrid location.

Landing in Madrid

A perfect journey means traveling at your pace, by your own rules, and at a time that suits you. The Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas is definitely a busy airport, but that doesn’t mean that you need to get caught up in the queues, wait at baggage conveyor belts, or have to feel like you’re wasting time, especially when we can get you there quicker, and have a car waiting for you to take you to your hotel.

Our Madrid location is just over a year old, and our customers have already enjoyed the many services we offer:

• Obtaining Overflight Permits
• Flight Planning
• Entry & Landing Permits
• Ground Handling
• Passenger & Crew Transportation
• Passenger & Crew Visa Arrangements
• Passenger & Crew Passport Clearance
• Passenger & Crew Baggage Clearance

• Aircraft Maintenance

• Crew Lounge
• Car Parking Facilities
• Security Services
• Arrival & Departure Slots
• Shower Facilities

An Unbeatable Location

Getting around Madrid isn’t tricky, but being fast-tracked through the airport means you can get to your final destination even quicker. Getting to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium means a quick 15-minute drive to watch Real Madrid take on their opposing team Barcelona in an El Clásico match. Or take a 20-minute drive to Puerta del Sol, the starting point for many tourists that head to the capital.

For Your Aircraft

The Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport has a 13,711-ft [~4,180 meters] runway that can accommodate any kind of aircraft. Aircraft maintenance and servicing are also possible at this location, just let us know so we can arrange it.

Permits, Permissions & Slots

Landing permits are not necessary for private flights heading to the capital. However, they are mandatory for charter flights. The landing permits are issued by the Agenica Estatal de Seguridad Aérera [ASEA], also known as the Spanish Civil Aviation Authorities [CAA]. Airport slots and PPRs are required for General Aviation [GA] flights as well. Aircraft parking permits are needed but do not have restrictions on long-term parking. Our experienced team will have everything ready for your aircraft to taxi into MAD for you to get your journey started.

That hectic, wonderful time of year is just around the corner, a full month of designs that will get anyone’s jaw to drop with excitement, fascination, or shock. Yes, it’s almost time for the Big 4, four back to back fashion weeks starting with New York Fashion Week, going into London Fashion Week, then Milan Fashion Week, and finally Paris Fashion Week!

The Fashion Week excitement for any fashionista cannot be helped, but where did it all begin? How did New York, then London, Milan, and Paris all come to have Fashion Weeks?

“Style is self-expression with creativity and showmanship – something that makes you memorable and makes people want to imitate you,” this message is from the brilliant lady that created the first Fashion Week in the world, Eleanor Lambert.

In 1943, Eleanor, as the director of The New York Dress Institute [the first promotional organization for American fashion] started what was known as “Press Week.” This first fashion week was created with the intent of helping American designers to showcase their work to fashion journalists, who had been ignoring the American innovation. In the 1950’s the event had a slight name change and was known as “Press Week of New York.”

In 1993, the Council of Fashion Designers of American [CFDA] decided to rename the event to what it is now “New York Fashion Week,” creating a more centralized naming system.

That was then, but here we are in 2018 in the run-up to the Spring/Summer collection, anxiously waiting to see what these designers have in store!
