About Our Founder:

Ethan Levy

Ethan Levy, Founder and CEO of Tidal Jets, Inc., has built a career rooted in his lifelong passion for aviation. Starting Tidal Jets in May 2023, Ethan set out to create a jet brokerage firm that focuses on delivering personalized, reliable service to clients seeking charter flights and aircraft sales. With the company’s base near Dulles Airport in Virginia, Tidal Jets operates with a global reach, with particular focus in areas like New York City and Miami.

Ethan’s love for aviation began in childhood, growing up in New York City where he could watch planes arriving and departing from nearby airports. By the age of four, he was captivated by aircraft and developed an early fascination with identifying planes and understanding the industry. This passion evolved into a hands-on career, starting with a ramp position at United Airlines. Within two years, Ethan progressed to a supervisory role, gaining valuable insight into operations and customer service in the aviation world.

Tidal Jets emerged from Ethan’s desire to offer a more client-focused and transparent alternative in the industry. His experience working with companies that didn’t prioritize aviation expertise or client needs inspired him to take a different approach. At Tidal Jets, Ethan and his team strive to provide clients with a tailored experience, combining luxury services with a commitment to building long-term relationships.

In addition to offering charter services, Ethan is passionate about elevating the in-flight experience. Tidal Jets provides thoughtful touches such as catering from renowned chefs, onboard Wi-Fi, and plans to introduce luxury amenities like high-end bedding and a custom scent designed specifically for the Tidal Jets brand. Partnerships with companies like Blacklane also ensure that clients’ ground transportation is handled with the same attention to detail as their flights.

Ethan’s approach to leadership is shaped not only by his professional experiences but also by his personal journey. Growing up in a diverse and supportive community, Ethan values compassion, integrity, and the importance of doing right by others—principles that guide every decision at Tidal Jets. For him, it’s about more than just business; it’s about creating a service that people can trust.

Since its founding, Tidal Jets has seen steady growth, a reflection of the firm’s dedication to offering both quality and transparency in every aspect of its operations. Ethan remains committed to continually refining the company’s services to meet the evolving needs of his clients, always with a focus on trust and excellence.
