Who doesn't love a sunset view with private jets in the background? Fandom Daily joined AUTOBUS founder Jeremy Maul and Ryan Aviation Group, Dan Ryan, on October 30 for an exclusive invite-only event for an epic celebration of the companies at a private hangar at the Nashville International Airport. 

Maul and Ryan crossed paths while managing jets and buses for Justin Bieber. They discovered the core of family values and quality, ultimately bringing their business to Nashville, TN.

At the event, Maul unveiled his latest project, AUTOBUS, a boutique luxury transportation company specializing in personalized, high-quality service. Throughout the event, Fandom Daily got to tour a couple of buses, showcasing the sleek design and quality they are bringing to the table.

Ryan Aviation Group's Dan Ryan presented their newest addition, a Gulfstream G-IV SP equipped with the latest Starlink technology – the first of its kind in Nashville. 

When arriving at the private event, you were immediately greeted by an excellent staff and a champagne wall - um, yes, please! The size of the planes and buses filled the hangar, which was painted with a beautiful sunset view. The event atmosphere was filled with many, including celebrity appearances by Maiara, Garrett Nichols of Restless Road, Kat Luna, Kassi Ashton, Drake Milligan, Stewart Walker of The Reklaws, and Matthew Morrison, among many others. 

Event attendees enjoyed several cocktails and appetizers from Electric Jane, a Nashville venue, which was also toasting its new Private Membership Club, which will launch soon. In addition, event attendees had the opportunity to have a stunning sunset portrait on the tarmac with Katie Kauss. 

As the event continued, Maul and Ryan took to the stage to share their gratitude for attendees. "We brought two companies together in Nashville. Both of us moved here from California a few years ago, and we're bringing good people together," expressed Maul. 

"I don't know what I'm allowed to say, but I will say that Jeremy and I take long, windy walks three times a week in  Warner Park, and I saw him say goodbye to a company that he built himself," shared Ryan. "And walked away for all the right reasons. He left all his chips on the table to start his own thing so he could be with his family, curate things, and keep it small. It wasn't about money for him but about doing things the right way." 

Ryan continued, "We're not all up on the jet business, and this is cool. We don't give a damn about all that stuff. We just want to do a good job, care for you, love you, succeed, and help you guys feel good. I couldn't be more grateful for you guys. Thank you for walking down the path with me! Thank you for this party and for all showing up."

To wrap up the event, CMA New Artist of the Year nominee Nate Smith performed an exceptional acoustic performance featuring his radio singles "Whiskey On You" and "Bulletproof."
