Frustrated with the discomfort caused by sunglasses conflicting with his headset during flights, Michael Monck, an experienced pilot, recognised the dangers that distracting pressure points could create. Dissatisfied with the existing options in the market, finding them either subpar or excessively pricey, he led the initiative to develop a high quality alternative. These innovative eyewear solutions are specifically designed for cockpit use, addressing the unique challenges faced by pilots while at the same time ensuring both style and comfort for everyday use.
His perspective extends to the attire of frequent travellers, recognising that individuals, whether journeying for business or leisure, desire to appear fresh upon arrival. This vision, encompassing the ideals of travel in comfort and arriving in style, encapsulates the core philosophy of everything that FLYTE represents.
