Global Airlines was launched in 2023 with an aspiration to offer passengers the best way to fly
Tom Stokely, co-founder of OnlyFans, has recently embarked on a new venture as an executive in the airline industry, Business Insider reports today.
After selling the popular subscription-based platform, Stokely has maintained a discreet presence until his recent appointment as a director at Global Airlines, a British aviation startup.
Stokely, aged 44, previously held the position of Chief Operating Officer at Fenix International, the parent company of OnlyFans, from 2018 to 2021, as his LinkedIn profile reveals. Since 2022, he has occasionally been investing in various ventures, staying largely out of the public spotlight.
Global Airlines was launched in 2023 with an aspiration to offer passengers the best way to fly. The airline, which owns four Airbus A380 aircraft, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holiday Swap Group and headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The airline is led by CEO James Asquith and backed by aviation experts and investors around the world. Global recently agreed a deal with Hi Fly around returning the four aircraft it has acquired back into service.
