Jaime Forte
Agency Owner
Deep Roots, High Altitudes. As a proud 47-year resident of the Ocala community, my life has been defined by a deep commitment to the people of Central Florida and a lifelong, uncompromising passion for all things aviation. I understand the unique travel needs of our local equine, medical, and business professionals, and I have dedicated my career to ensuring their journeys are as seamless and safe as possible.
From the Flight Deck to Your Trusted Advisor, I don’t just book flights; I have lived the operational reality of private and commercial aviation for over 18 years. With more than 8,600 flight hours and 12 distinct type ratings, my perspective comes from the sharp end of the business. Having served in executive leadership roles—including as an Airline Captain and a Part 135 Director of Operations—I evaluate every charter request with the rigorous, safety-first mindset of a seasoned aviator. I know exactly what it takes to execute a flawless itinerary from the ground up.
A Relationship Built on Core Values. I believe that true luxury in private aviation is found in peace of mind, which can only be achieved through a relationship built on trust, not just transactions. Aligning perfectly with the Stratos Jets mission, my goal is to serve as your dedicated aviation advocate, providing fair pricing, honest advice, and transparent client education.
Because Stratos Jets acts strictly as an agent and does not own aircraft, I am free from any conflict of interest. I operate my agency on a foundation of five non-negotiable core values:
- Honesty: Providing upfront and forthcoming insights into aircraft capabilities and operator history.
- Integrity: Making ethical, transparent, and well-intentioned decisions on your behalf.
- Accountability: Taking personal responsibility for the safety, execution, and results of your travel.
- Respect: Treating every client, flight crew, and partner with absolute dignity and professionalism.
- Kindness: Fostering a caring, highly personalized approach to your unique needs.
Life Outside the Cockpit When I am not orchestrating flight logistics or advising clients, my love for movement and mechanics continues on the ground. I have a deep passion for world travel and the freedom of riding motorcycles. Whether navigating the skies at Mach .80 or exploring the open road, I appreciate that the journey is just as important as the destination.
- I look forward to learning your story and showing you how an experienced aviator can transform your private travel experience.
