The Brunger Aviation Group
A private aviation partner built around discretion, control, and dependable execution.
A Considered Approach to Private Aviation
The Brunger Aviation Group is built by professionals with deep experience in private aviation and private client service. We understand that private travel is about control, discretion, and confidence in execution. Our background working directly with charter travel and high-profile clients informs how we operate, how we communicate, and how responsibility is carried. Every journey is approached with sound judgment and personal accountability, so travel feels handled properly from the first conversation forward.
Philip Brunger
Beginning his career with the Dallas Market Center (DMC) in 2005, Philip Brunger served in several marketing, leasing, and international business development positions, spanning DMC’s real estate portfolio. In addition to managing consulting projects with DMC’s real estate partners in Shanghai, Brussels, Bogota, and Los Angeles, Philip was responsible for all leasing activities within the DMC complex for the menswear, children’s apparel, textile, and toys and gifts industries.
Philip has extensive international travel experience, including in-country consulting engagements in Europe, China, and India, where he managed sales teams for DMC’s international real estate holdings.
In 2015, Philip joined Dahlgren Duck & Associates (DDA), a worldwide special markets distributor of luxury china, crystal, linen, and flatware, as its Vice President of Sales and Development. In this role, Philip was responsible for sales growth and new business development across all divisions of the company.
Leveraging his exposure to the luxury goods and private aviation industries, Philip joined Status Jet in 2018 in the capacity of Vice President of Sales and Business Development. In this new role, Philip leads a team of charter sales executives and overseas business development and key client acquisition.
Philip holds a B.B.A. in Marketing and a Minor in International Relations from the Edwin L. Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX.
Confidence in Execution
Our confidence in execution is earned through direct experience managing private aviation in real conditions. That experience includes:
• Coordinating complex, multi-city and international travel
• Managing high-frequency schedules with little margin for error
• Navigating last-minute changes without disruption
• Supporting clients with sensitive timelines and elevated profiles
This depth of exposure allows decisions to be made quickly and correctly, with issues anticipated rather than reacted to. Execution remains controlled, consistent, and firmly in hand from planning through arrival.
Oversight Without Excess
Private aviation demands judgment earned through experience. Years spent inside charter operations and private client environments inform how decisions are made, when they are made, and how they are carried through. Safety and operational standards guide every choice, applied consistently and without exception.
This experience translates into active, personal oversight across every phase of travel, including:
• Evaluating aircraft and operators against established standards
• Anticipating operational issues before they surface
• Managing changes decisively as conditions evolve
• Maintaining continuity across complex, multi-leg travel
Our role is to manage complexity quietly, so the experience proceeds as expected, with safety and operational discipline assumed at every stage.
Consistency Across Every Journey
Consistency in private aviation is not accidental. It comes from experience, repetition, and the ability to manage different variables without changing the outcome. Our team brings years of hands-on exposure to charter travel and private client coordination, allowing each journey to feel familiar, controlled, and properly handled, regardless of circumstance.
That experience shows up in how flights are planned, how changes are absorbed, and how details are carried through from start to finish. Clients are not navigating a process. They are relying on experience that operates as expected, not just once, but every time, across destinations, schedules, and travel profiles.
