PLS Aviation Announces Strategic Partnership With Luxury Travel Firm Atelier Curioso

Partnership combines personalized private aviation, bespoke travel design, and 24/7 concierge support for clients worldwide.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- PLS Aviation, a private aviation brokerage and advisory firm founded by former NFL player and Wheels Up co-founder Jim Pyne, today announced a strategic partnership with Atelier Curioso, a design house of travel creating high-touch, ultra-bespoke journeys for discerning travelers worldwide.

The partnership brings together two companies that share a commitment to exceptional service, trusted relationships, safety, and attention to detail, providing clients with a more comprehensive luxury travel experience from departure to destination.

Through the collaboration, PLS Aviation clients will have access to Atelier Curioso's expertise in customized itineraries, luxury accommodations, destination logistics, and exclusive experiences. Atelier Curioso clients will benefit from PLS Aviation's private charter brokerage and advisory services, including personalized aircraft selection, safety-focused charter solutions, competitive sourcing, and 24/7 client support.

"At PLS Aviation, our business has always been about relationships and taking care of people," said Jim Pyne, Founder and CEO of PLS Aviation. "Our clients trust us to provide safe, reliable, and personalized private aviation solutions. This partnership with Atelier Curioso allows us to extend that same level of service beyond the aircraft and help create an exceptional experience throughout the entire journey."

Pyne brings decades of experience across professional sports, business, and private aviation. Following his NFL career, he co-founded Wheels Up in 2014 and helped build the company into one of the most recognized brands in private aviation, culminating in its public listing in 2021.

In 2024, Pyne founded PLS Aviation to offer a more personalized, flexible, and value-driven approach to private aviation. The company provides on-demand charter brokerage and aircraft advisory services without membership fees or long-term commitments, helping clients identify the right aircraft and solutions for their individual travel needs.

"We're thrilled to add PLS Aviation as a strategic partner," said Jessica Manley, Founder of Atelier Curioso. "So many of our clients are moving away from commercial flights, and the private aviation market has become crowded and hard to navigate. Having Jim and his team in our corner means our clients get trusted, personal guidance every step of the way. Private aviation will only continue to grow, and we're excited to see where this partnership takes us."

Atelier Curioso complements PLS Aviation's approach by designing highly personalized journeys, creating meaningful connections with destinations, and coordinating the details that transform travel into an exceptional experience.

"Private aviation is often just one part of a much larger journey," Pyne added. "Whether our clients are traveling for business, planning a family vacation, or celebrating a special occasion, we want to help make the entire experience exceptional. Atelier Curioso is a natural fit because they share our belief that great service is built on trust, relationships, and attention to detail."

The partnership represents another step in PLS Aviation's strategy of building relationships with complementary luxury service providers while maintaining its commitment to safety, flexibility, value, and personalized client service.
