According to the airline, its VIP customers include several Spanish companies and also teams from Spain's first football league.[2] In June and July 2014, Privilege Style operated Finnair's flights from Helsinki to New York-JFK while one of Finnair's A330s was out of service for extended maintenance.[3] The same happened again in December 2015.[4] In the summer of 2015, the airline leased its Boeing 767-300ER to El Al. As of June 2016, all of Privilege Style's aircraft were operating for El Al, except the 767 which currently operates for Condor Flugdienst.[5]
In 2018 the 777 has been operated daily for Norwegian Air Shuttle on their since terminated Rome-Newark route, due to major technical issues affecting Norwegian’s 787 fleet. In late spring 2019, Norwegian again started using Privilege Style's 777 for their London-Miami route. In November 2019, Surinam Airways started using Privilege Style's 777 for their Paramaribo to Amsterdam route, after they had to suddenly retire their only long-haul plane, an aging Airbus A340.[6][7]
In February 2021, Privilege Style selected the Airbus A321 as a replacement for their aging 757s. The used A321 was previously operated by SriLankan Airlines.[8]
The company was scheduled to undertake a deportation flight of asylum seekers from the United Kingdom to Rwanda on 14 June 2022 although this never went ahead due to legal challenges.[9][10][11][12] After pressure from various campaign groups, in October 2022 the company announced that it wouldn't carry out any future deportation flights between the two countries.[13]
In June 2023, an Airbus A330 previously operated by Virgin Australia was added to the fleet as a replacement for the Boeing 767.[14]
As of May 2024, Privilege Style's fleet consists of the following aircraft:[8]
