Membership Benefits
Priority Aircraft Access
Meridian members receive first-call access to the highest-demand aircraft in the Axon network. When a Super Midsize or Heavy Jet opens up on a peak travel weekend, your call is returned first.
Preferred Operator Pricing
Because Axon moves volume, operators offer preferred pricing to Meridian members. This is not a discount. It is a structural advantage, typically saving $1,500 to $2,500 per booking versus standard charter rates.
World-Class Concierge Network
Our concierge partners have personally managed the lives of some of the most recognized names in sports and entertainment. The dinner reservation that does not exist on OpenTable. The suite that is not available. The experience that requires a phone call, not a website.
Trip Protection on Every Flight
Included. No additional cost.Included at no additional cost to you. If your aircraft is grounded before departure, a replacement is sourced immediately and the cost difference is covered up to 100%. Your trip continues, on a suitable aircraft, without the financial exposure of a last-minute replacement.

One number. One person. Tim Barbeau answers directly. Not a call center, not a booking agent. The person who has written the safety manuals, flown the aircraft, and negotiated the contracts.
Pause Provision
Membership includes a 30-day pause provision per calendar year. If you are traveling internationally on commercial or simply do not need private aviation for a period, you can pause.
No other broker in the country offers this.

Average Annual Savings
Preferred Charter Pricing
Meridian members receive preferred operator pricing on every booking. At one flight per month, the savings on charter costs alone average $1,500 to $2,500 per flight. That is $18,000 to $30,000 returned to you annually. The membership fee pays for itself before you account for anything else.

Two things no other broker can offer.
01
Aviation Intelligence
Not a call center. Not a booking platform. A single expert who has written the safety manuals, flown the aircraft, and negotiated the contracts. When your aircraft goes mechanical at 10pm before a morning departure, you are not calling a booking agent. You are calling the person who has been on the other side of that call.
02
Private Network
The Axon network is not a database. It is a curated group of relationships built over 15 years in the charter industry. Operators who answer the phone at 2am. Concierge partners who have placed clients in suites that do not officially exist. Access that cannot be purchased on a platform.
"I put my name on every booking. Not a platform. Not a call center. Me. If something goes wrong, you call me. If something goes right, I want to hear that too. That is what it means to be a Meridian member."

Entrepreneurs
Founders and business owners who need flexible, reliable private aviation without the overhead of ownership.
Professional Athletes
Active and retired athletes who require discretion, flexibility, and a trusted aviation partner.
I have used three different brokers over the past six years. The difference with Axon is that I never have to think about it. My preferences are known, the aircraft is right, and if anything changes I hear about it before it becomes a problem. That is worth far more than the membership fee.
