Max Patel: Cherishing the Memory of a Remarkable Teammate

It is with great sadness we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our esteemed colleague, Max Patel. His contributions to LodgeLink were invaluable, and Max's warm presence made every day brighter. 

For our colleagues and customers, we know and remember Max as the reliable, knowledgeable, and kind Senior Manager on the LodgeLink Travel Desk and a beloved member of the team. His passion for the travel industry was unmatched, and we are privileged to have had him with us over the past few years sharing his insight and expertise. 

“On behalf of all of us here at Black Diamond Group, I offer our most sincere sympathies to Max’s family and friends,” said Trevor Haynes, Chairman & CEO, Black Diamond Group. 

Max first entered the travel industry in 1988 with the opening of Aero Travel, a company he owned with his wife, Kapu Patel.

After Aero Travel was acquired by LodgeLink in late 2019, Max and his team greatly broadened the scope of LodgeLink operations by tirelessly providing crew travel management services to his many clients. 

“We will always remember his dedication, kindness, and the laughter he brought into our lives. Without a doubt, his absence will be felt. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, coworkers, and our customers. I know that I will keep fond memories of Max and his time with us here.”
