Admiral Travel International Announces Four Upcoming Charters Of Crystal Luxury Air From Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport
Private Flights Beginning February 2021 for Safe, Exclusive Safaris and Eco-Adventures to Jumpstart Luxury Travel and Conservation Missions
SARASOTA, Fla. (November 9, 2020) — Building upon the travel agency’s successful track record of orchestrating collaborations between Crystal Skye, the luxury Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, and preeminent global luxury travel brands, Admiral Travel International (ATI) is proud to announce four departures in 2021 aboard Crystal Skye and her sister aircraft. These upcoming departures, in partnership with African conservation leaders, are Admiral Travel International’s response to the global pandemic and its impact on the African safari and eco-tourism industries.
The first journey departing for Botswana from the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) aboard Crystal Skye, billed as the world’s largest and ‘most luxuriously spacious private charter jet,’ is bound for an exclusive, nine-night, private safari hosted by ATI Proprietors Ryan and Malaka Hilton at three Wilderness Safaris’ Premier Camps: Mombo, DumaTau, and Vumbura Plains. The aircraft will depart on February 3, 2021 for a round-trip flight to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, marking the second time Crystal Skye will depart from Sarasota. Its previous SRQ departure in May 2019 was also organized by Admiral Travel International, hosting passengers on an eight-night luxury safari at Singita private game reserve in South Africa.
“Ryan and Malaka Hilton of Admiral Travel International are true conservationists. Considering their long love affair with Africa, it’s no surprise they have crafted an incredible private jet journey to Botswana that reads more like a conservation and wildlife rescue mission than anything else,” said Craig Glatthaar, Wilderness Safaris Business Unit Manager for North America. “We’re thrilled to partner with them on what is set to be a sublime re-entry into travel to Africa with this unique and exclusive departure.”
ATI CEO Malaka Hilton explains, “The travel industry is reeling from the coronavirus pandemic, when most travelers postponed or canceled their 2020 summer plans. Admiral Travel is proud to have organized these four safe, exclusive Crystal Skye journeys which offer intrepid travelers and safari enthusiasts the extremely rare opportunity to experience the world’s most pristine wildlife while injecting necessary life support into a fragile economic ecosystem.
