Andreas Christodoulidis is behind the brilliant project. A businessman with a history of 30 years in the aviation industry. With branches in London, Athens and Cyprus, Zela Aviation's company is dominant in buying and selling aircraft and aircraft rentals to large and well-known airlines. However, the global pandemic of the time and the fear of transmitting the virus prompted him for another business idea: Luxury air taxis.
“Once upon a time the trend was the massive low cost airlines which not only were very successful in their time but also became a trend. Many were going to London safely but without on-board services (some lunch or even a coffee). They may not have had benefits, but they saved money in their pocket. In times of pandemic travel was significantly reduced and those who had to travel became more cautious. They are interested in being transported to other countries or islands, but without other people, just with their company “.
The company created now by the brilliant businessman (Zela Jet) aims at this. The fact that anyone alone or with four other people can reach their destination quickly, safely and at a very economical cost since for nearby destinations does not exceed 6 thousand. The arrest clearly makes us realize that the luxurious air taxis were born. “Logic is reminiscent of the application of Uber taxis. These are the uber of the air, with all that good that entails. There are fast air transfers, without treats and special services. The planes simply save space for three other people and do not even have a toilet. Everything will be done quickly, safely and with a sense of low cost luxury “
For those who want something even faster, there are helicopters. A series of air dolls transport passengers very quickly to the islands. Within thirty minutes (along with the boarding and disembarking process) from Athens, businessmen and their families will be able to be in Spetses, Mykonos, Porto Heli or anywhere else…
From the studies of Economics on the plane
For Andreas Christodoulidis, his life has always been an interesting adventure. Born in Cyprus, he has loved airplanes since he was a child, even though his father was involved in the drug trade. “From the age of six I had a passion, a love, a cult, airplanes. He had a whole collection of them, as a child “.
Growing up he manages to make his hobby a profession.
In 1995 he had the inspiration to create the first private airline, for air transport based in Greece. However, the Olympic Air Force, which has a monopoly, reacts strongly and the plans are postponed. In contrast to Greece, Cyprus gives the green light for the ambitious venture. Andreas Christodoulidis and his brother want to baptize their newly established airline “Aphrodite”. Eventually they name their airline “Helios”.
“At the end of 2006, after selling the previous company, I founded Zela Aviation, which took its name from my wife, Zela,” he said.
Andreas Christodoulidis is an extroverted man with intense social and charitable action living between Athens and London. Businessmen, stars and stars of the ball travel with his planes. Of course there is confidentiality and therefore no names can be mentioned.
