Vision Statement: The Jet Age Re‑Imagined

Doing what no other company does for its clientele members by creating truly unique opportunities.

The private jet industry has long been defined by access, speed, and luxury. But for Honey Jimenez Schmidt, founder of Made to Jetset, Inc. Consulting and Pet Jets Services, the future of private aviation demands something more meaningful: thoughtful leadership, solution‑driven innovation, and an unwavering commitment to the people—and pets—who trust her with their journeys.

A Founder Built by Aviation

Since founding Made to Jetset, Inc. in 2017, Honey has re‑imagined what private jet consulting can and should be. Her leadership is grounded in deep operational knowledge, earned not from behind a desk but through hands‑on experience across nearly every corner of aviation.

Honey’s career began in the air, serving as a crew member on a Gulfstream IV. From there, she moved into analytical and executive roles at Le Bas International, where she managed complex, high‑profile jet programs for globally recognized clients including American Express Travel, Boeing, Textron, and NIKE Travel. It was during this period that she formed a close professional relationship with Brian Fiske, founder of Pet Jets, who recognized Honey’s rare ability to scale ideas, systems, and businesses with integrity and precision—and invited her to help build Pet Jets into what it is today.

Beyond Brokerage: A Global Logistics Mindset

Honey’s expertise extends far beyond traditional aircraft charter brokerage. Her background in freight logistics for the concert music touring industry gave her an unmatched understanding of global movement, timing, and risk management. She contributed to logistics for some of the world’s most iconic artists, including Whitney Houston, Prince, Metallica, Coldplay, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Eagles, and Linkin Park.

As a foundational partner in Air Cargo Entertainment Services (ACES) and Shockwave Cargo, Honey helped build two successful cargo companies from the ground up. This multifaceted experience allows her to approach aviation challenges creatively and decisively. As she often says, if she doesn’t know the answer, she knows exactly who does.

A Solution‑Based Company by Design

At the helm of Made to Jetset, Inc. Consulting and Pet Jets Services, Honey has intentionally built a solution‑based company—one that prioritizes long‑term relationships over transactions. She understands that private aviation decisions are rarely just about price. Safety, aircraft stability, crew experience, routing strategy, and overall journey quality matter just as much—especially when pets are involved.

In one example, when a client explored cost‑sharing a flight to California but found the option economically impractical, Honey didn’t force a charter solution. Instead, she re‑engineered the project entirely, arranging VIP ground transportation that delivered efficiency, comfort, and value without compromising the client’s goals. This flexibility and integrity define her approach.

Redefining Pet‑Inclusive Aviation

Honey’s leadership within Pet Jets Services is deeply personal. As a lifelong animal advocate and the rescuer of our family pets, Dotty, Rocket, Nacho, Cody Maverick, and Pickles, she understands firsthand the bond between pets and their owners. That empathy informs every recommendation, routing decision, and contingency plan.

Clients don’t just return to Pet Jets for a single flight—they return throughout the chapters of their lives. That loyalty is earned through trust, transparency, and an understanding that pets are family.

Life Beyond the Flight Plan

Outside of aviation, Honey leads a full and grounded life with her husband, Matt, their daughter, and their three dogs in Newport Beach, California. She finds balance traveling between mountains, desert skies, and the ocean, and draws inspiration from music and live concerts.

Honey earned her AA in Political Science from Orange Coast College and a BA in Legal Studies from Chapman University. A lifelong athlete, she competed in swimming, water polo player, and on crew team, and was a member of Phi Sigma Sigma.

The Future of the Jet Age

With unmatched industry breadth, a global logistics mindset, and a deeply human approach to service, Honey Jimenez Schmidt is redefining what leadership looks like in private aviation. Through Made to Jetset, Inc. Consulting and Pet Jets Services, she continues to shape a future where private jet travel is not only elevated—but intentional, compassionate, and intelligently re‑imagined.

This is the Jet Age—re‑imagined.
