Tango Airways – Home of the Touch and Go!!
Concept:
Tango Airways will cater to the discriminating individual who enjoys the Las Vegas lifestyle and has no limitations on luxury.
Tango will offer In-Air Gambling on select aircraft and Female Concierge services. In essence, Tango Airways is a private high rollers gentleman's club.
This concept is revolutionary as there are no commerce laws forbidding in-air gambling, in-air exotic dancing or nude entertainment on non-commercial flights. Tango Airways will serve as an in-house escort agency and require all women to go through flight attendant training as well as physical and mental health training. The games dealers will also be certified to keep the high integrity of the stakes made while onboard.
Who will fly Tango Airways?
The discreet gentleman with an appreciation of luxury will find himself indulged while flying Tango Airways. The best private gambling, most beautiful women, and remote locations will be at his disposal. The cigar aficionado will enjoy a trip to Cuba to smoke the best tobacco known, while playing a game of Baccarat with a few comrades, all while being served by the most uninhibited women money can buy.
Why fly Tango Airways?
Privacy and exclusivity! While in the air, no phone calls will interrupt your play. There are no screaming kids, no pesky wife, no stressful boss to bring you down (no pun intended!) We allow you to be you. Relax and enjoy the best flight you will ever have.

Where does Tango Airways fly?
Anywhere you would like to travel. As Tango Airways is a charter company, we are on your schedule. We even offer flights to nowhere for the days you just want to get away from it all. Tango is based in South Florida, however, depending on your luxury travel needs; we can accommodate almost any travel plan you may have.
Tango Airways will extend its range of services to include the US, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and South America. European flights are only on select aircraft.
Operation:
Tango Airways will be based in South Florida at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL). Specifically we will be based at Jetscape Services on the north side of the airport. FLL was chosen for the access to customs, as we will be flying internationally. Jetscape Services was chosen due to the prices of available hangar and office spaces.
Tango Airways will start off with a small organizational structure until the company expands in the future. We will have the following positions in our company:
CEO – company operations, business development
Finance Director – risk management, sales, revenues, fleet management
Operations/Maintenance Director – records management, in-flight operations, scheduling, reservations
Personnel Office – HR, training, benefits, FAA compliance
Marketing/Advertising Director – marketing, advertising, community liaison, business development
Tango Airways will operate under FAR part 135. We are an on-demand charter service with services mainly within the US, Mexico, Canada, Caribbean and South America. Service to Europe and other destinations will depend on aircraft chartered.
Fleet Selection:
Tango Airways will utilize a diverse fleet of aircraft to accommodate every traveler. We will offer charters on medium, heavy, and (in the future) jumbo jets. Below is our initial fleet:
Hawker 800XP – Seats max 8 pax
Citation X – Seats max 8 pax
Gulfstream II – Seats max 12 pax
Legacy 600 – Seats max 12 pax
BBJ 737 (future acquisition) – will be used for In-flight casino, equipped with dance pole, bar, galley, full lav, and more.
These aircraft were chosen due to size, range, comfort, and popularity. All of the above aircraft will be outfitted with modern interiors, regal livery, updated avionics, and more. The aircraft will be leased as this is the most cost effective for the company in the beginning stages. The aircraft will have light maintenance done by in-house A&P technicians, however, anything above and beyond that will be outsourced to the appropriate maintenance facilities. This will keep costs low and liability will not be with the Tango Airways for major work done.
Sales/Revenues:
The primary source of income for Tango Airways will be from the selling of aircraft charters. Each aircraft will have its base per hour charge. This includes the crew (2 pilots – 1 flight attendant), fuel, any fees associated with air travel, crew per diem, in-flight Wi-Fi, complimentary bottle of liquor or wine, and complimentary town car roundtrip transportation at destination of choice. There will be a separate menu of services offered that will generate more revenue for the company. Most of the services on this list will pay commissions to the company for the use of their services.
Menu of Services that offer commissions:
Catering – Silver Lining In-Flight Catering
Transportation to and from the airport (FLL) – Dignitary Transportation Services (South Florida Area only)
Duty Free Shopping – Dakota Duty Free (South Florida Area only)
Menu of services offered for additional revenue: (not limited to the following)
Massage therapist flight attendant
Travel companionship above and beyond the in-flight services provided
Shopping services
Personal chef in accommodations at destination
Concierge services
Rental cars at destinations
And more…
