Milwaukee Bucks add Jet OUT as team's private aviation partner

For some Milwaukee Bucks fans, “high-flying” has a new meaning as the NBA team contracts with Jet OUT as its official private aviation partner.

It’s the first kind of partnership for the Bucks.

“Milwaukee has been part of Jet OUT’s identity from the beginning, and it’s heard wherever we fly,” said Matt Wild, company president.

“Every Jet OUT aircraft uses ‘Cream City’ as its call sign – the name our pilots use to identify themselves when communicating with air traffic control,” Wild said, in a statement.

The Bucks partnership “brings that hometown connection full circle,” he said.

Jet OUT will support the Milwaukee Bucks Foundation, and plans to “create unique experiences for Bucks fans and premium members, highlighted by a private event for select members at its hangar in Waukesha this fall where guests will be on the floor with a Citation CJ4 Gen2 aircraft,” according to the Sept. 8 announcement.

“Jet OUT’s Milwaukee roots and commitment to delivering a premium experience make this a strong partnership for the Bucks,” said Matt Pazaras, Bucks chief business development and strategy officer.

Jet OUT is headquartered at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and serves the Upper Midwest but also has operations in south Florida and Texas.

“I grew up watching this team, and so did a lot of people here,” said Nate Bogdanovich, Jet OUT chief commercial officer. “Building something with the Bucks, for Bucks fans and the Milwaukee Bucks Foundation, is the kind of work everyone at this company wanted to do.”
