Travelpro Unveils Exclusive Pilot-Designed Luggage Collection for Elite Aviators

Wednesday, April 3, 2024

Flight crews demand top-tier equipment to keep pace with their fast-paced lives, and Travelpro® steps up to the challenge with the unveiling of its exclusive collection, Travelpro® Pilot™, tailored specifically for airline pilots. Crafted in collaboration with pilots themselves, this two-piece collection boasts German-engineered features, ensuring unmatched durability and performance. Through rigorous testing and feedback from pilots, Travelpro® has honed the collection to perfection, resulting in a pinnacle of efficiency and resilience, weighing up to 3 pounds less than comparable flight crew luggage.

The Travelpro® Pilot™ collection offers two distinct models: the Travelpro® Pilot™ Seven3 Carry-On Rollaboard® and the Travelpro® Pilot™ Expandable Carry-On Rollaboard® with Pockets. Building upon Travelpro®’s renowned reputation for sturdy, reliable luggage, each Rollaboard® is crafted from ballistic nylon fabric treated with stain and abrasion-resistant DuraGuard® coating. Equipped with a patented PowerScope aluminum extension handle featuring innovative “anti-crush” technology, these suitcases prevent denting and ensure smooth handling. With ultra-durable inline skate wheels and repairable YKK® zippers, Travelpro® Pilot™ guarantees a seamless travel experience, both in the air and on the ground.

“For over three decades we’ve powered those that power our skies with the highest quality luggage on market,” said Rob Cooper, Chief Executive Officer at Travelpro®. “In bringing Travelpro® Pilot™ to life, it was essential to tap into our heritage as a pilot-founded brand and our relationships with airline pilots themselves, to ensure the collection met their specific demands. It’s the precise details, from the German engineered speed-release magnetic strap that allows pilots to add a bag to the suitcase in seconds, to offering a version without side pockets to accommodate varying aircraft storage space, that make this collection one that flight crews can truly rely on.”

The interior of each Rollaboard® prioritizes organized and convenient packing. Featuring an ECOFAB™ lining and a 2-inch expansion zipper in the expandable version, along with built-in organizational pockets, flight crews can neatly arrange all their work and post-flight necessities. To assist during long-haul flights, the collection includes two shoe bags and a laundry bag, facilitating the segregation of dirty clothes from clean items. Additionally, a monogram patch enables effortless suitcase identification and personalization.

“We’re committed to supporting and fostering our relationships with professional crews around the globe, especially with World Pilots’ Day just around the corner in April. Starting in 2024, we’ve pledged to donate $15,000 in scholarship funds to a range of organizations, including the National Gay Pilots Association and Women in Aviation International,” said Cooper.
