Nearly 50 Women Find Locked Hangar at Henderson Executive Airport After Paying Up to $200 for 'Private Jets & Pilates' Event

Why It MattersThe episode shows how unpermitted lifestyle events marketed around business aviation can stall at airport approval, and it leaves airports and aviation firms exposed to reputational spillover from third-party organizers.

Nearly 50 women dressed in pink arrived at Henderson Executive Airport in the Las Vegas area on Friday, Nov. 6, expecting private jets, Pilates, coffee and a luxury wellness experience, but found a locked hangar, an empty parking lot and no organizers. Some attendees said they paid as much as $200 for the event, advertised as "Private Jets & Pilates" by a Florida-based company called Sky Jet Pilates, and received no advance notice that it would not take place. Attendee Kaleigh Kazial said she received an email around 10 a.m. that day reminding her the event would begin in an hour.

Sky Jet Pilates later posted on Instagram that it had a venue agreement but could not proceed because of permit issues. Henderson Executive Airport told KSNV News 3 that the primary tenant never submitted the required special event permit application, and that special events at the airport must have a direct connection to aviation. Aero Detailing Academy, whose name appeared in the event's promotional material, said Sky Jet Pilates had approached it to help arrange hangar access, that it withdrew after airport authorization was denied, and that it did not organize the event or sell tickets.

Tickets were sold through SweatPals, an app used by independent fitness and wellness businesses. SweatPals said Sky Jet Pilates operated independently and had previously hosted events on the platform without reported issues. After attendees reported the problem on Nov. 6, SweatPals said it removed the organizer's verified status, suspended the account, and issued full refunds, including service fees, to every affected attendee. News 3 could not find an official website or a public direct phone number for Sky Jet Pilates and had not received a direct response from the company.
