What Companies Sell Private Jet Card Memberships?

While private aviation has struggled to get back to pre-Recession levels, the number of companies selling Jet Cards has doubled

Since the Great Recession of 2008 private aviation has struggled. Flight hours dropped significantly and now just a decade later are returning to levels equal to before the financial meltdown. Orders and deliveries of new private jets still haven’t recovered, yet one area of private aviation has been growings – Jet Card Memberships. 

Jet Card Memberships are popular for a number of reasons:

• Jet Cards provide the closest experiences to full or fractional ownership of a private jet without the long-term commitment and expense.
• By choosing a program, you are buying into that program’s standards for sourcing aircraft and flight crew meaning that you don’t have to spend time evaluating aircraft for each trip as you do with an on-demand charter.
• Many Jet Card programs provide guaranteed availability at guaranteed hourly rates in as little as eight hours meaning during peak periods and short notice you know you will get a jet and you know how much you are going to pay. This came in particularly handy during the hurricanes earlier this year.
• Prepaid programs mean you don’t have to worry about transferring funds on short notice and with every trip or during holidays and weekends as with on-demand charter.
