OUR STORY
Built on Trust.
Guided by Experience.
Built on more than a decade of private aviation experience, Abeona International was created with a simple belief: private travel should feel organized, reliable, and shaped around the client.
​
In private aviation and luxury travel, clients are often presented with limited options, predetermined programs, or solutions that reflect the provider's interests more than their own. Abeona was created to offer something different: independent guidance, thoughtful coordination, and a calm, experienced approach to every journey.
​
From private jet charter and aircraft ownership to yacht charters and multi-destination travel, our role has always been to simplify complexity and help clients move with confidence.
ORIGIN
A more thoughtful
way to travel
After more than a decade in private aviation, working alongside business leaders, families, aircraft owners, and executives, Shadi Shaafi saw an opportunity to deliver a different kind of private travel experience—one built on independent guidance, trusted relationships, and exceptional service.
​
That vision became Abeona International.
​
Again and again, the need was clear. Clients were investing in convenience, privacy, and time savings, but the experience often felt fragmented. Communication could be inconsistent. Options were not always clear. The service did not always match expectations.
​
Abeona was created to close that gap.
​
Our approach is intentionally personal: one trusted point of contact, carefully selected partners, clear communication, and solutions tailored to each client's schedule, priorities, and long-term goals.
No unnecessary layers.
No predetermined programs.
No overcomplication.
Just thoughtful guidance and precise coordination from beginning to end.
A NAME WITH MEANING
Abeona is named after the Roman goddess who watches over travellers at the beginning of their journey.
The name reflects direction, protection, and thoughtful beginnings. It also reflects the way we work with our clients: providing steady guidance before, during, and after every journey.
​
For us, travel has never been only about the aircraft, yacht, or destination.
It is about helping people move with clarity, confidence, and complete peace of mind.
SERVICES
Service Shaped Around People
Across every service, our priority is the same: understand the client first, then recommend the solution that best fits their needs.
​
We are not tied to one fleet, one membership program, or one ownership model. That independence allows us to recommend what is right for our clients—not what is right for us.
As Abeona has grown, our capabilities have expanded, but our philosophy has remained unchanged.
Today, Abeona supports clients with:
01
Private Jet Charter
02
Aircraft Acquisition
03
Aircraft Management
04
Yacht Charter
05
The Abeona Flight Network
06
Personalized Luxury Travel Experiences
RELATIONSHIPS
Built on an Exceptional Network
Private aviation and luxury travel are built on relationships.
​
Over more than a decade in the industry, Shadi has developed trusted relationships with aircraft owners, operators, pilots, maintenance providers, yacht specialists, and luxury travel partners across Canada and around the world.
​
Those relationships now form the foundation of Abeona International.
​
They allow us to respond quickly, solve complex travel challenges efficiently, and provide clients with access to exceptional aircraft, yachts, and travel experiences.
​
Our network has been built deliberately—not quickly—and continues to grow through trust, reliability, and shared standards of service.
TODAY
Where Abeona Stands Today
Today, Abeona International serves executives, entrepreneurs, families, aircraft owners, and discerning travellers throughout North America and beyond.
​
Our team coordinates private jet charter, aircraft acquisition, aircraft management, yacht charters, and personalized luxury travel experiences. Through the Abeona Flight Network, we also help identify opportunities such as Flight Matching, Jet Sharing, and Empty Leg travel when schedules naturally align.
While our services have evolved, our philosophy has remained remarkably consistent: provide independent guidance, communicate honestly, and remove unnecessary complexity from every journey.
FUTURE
Looking Ahead
As private travel continues to evolve, Abeona remains focused on strengthening relationships, refining its services, and continually improving the client experience.
​
Our measure of success has never been the number of flights we arrange.
​
It is the number of clients who continue to trust us, year after year.
