Sergio Mantegazza (31 October 1927 – 13 February 2024) was a Swiss-Italian billionaire businessman, chairman and owner of Globus, a multinational travel company.

Founded by his father Antonio in 1928, Globus Viaggi initially started with a single gondola ferrying tourists and goods across and around Lake Lugano, Switzerland.

This airline, established by two British businessmen, Bill Hodgson and Don Peacock, operated independently of Globus Getaway Holidays.
