Who We Are
For your Projects
Laurent Détroyat
After over 15 years working in sales and project development in the perfume and chemical industry throughout Asia, Africa and the USA, Laurent Détroyat decided to reorient his professional life towards his passion for aviation.
He partnered in the early development of LunaJets, a brokerage platform that offers charter flight hours, and created its first office in Geneva. Together with his partners, he led LunaJets' ascent to a prominent position in the European private jet charter market.
Driven by his deepening interest in the technical aspects of flight operations, he departed LunaJets and embarked on a journey with DC-Aviation, the first private jet operator in Germany. His leadership in optimizing sales and operational structures for team efficiency eventually inspired him to establish Détroyat Aviation.
Pilot on his private time, he and his wife are the happy parents of two daughters.
