Employees have been paid through OneFlight’s suspension of operations last month, including ‘earned commissions’.
OneFlight International has paid employees a delayed payroll after missing it when the company “paused” flight activity on Sept. 16, 2026.
News of the payroll came via an email from VP of Human Resources Ruby Dalton.
Dalton is the sister of CEO Ferren Rajput.
Her internal email from early September, obtained by Private Jet Card Comparisons, first brought to light public acknowledgment of financial issues at the jet card seller.
The company may owe jet card and other clients over $300 million for prepaid private jet charter flights.
Per the email, confirmed by OneFlight employees, the payroll occurred on Sept. 30, 2026.
Dalton’s email said the disbursement included salary, wages, earned commissions, earned bonuses, travel expenses, and unearned/unused personal time off.
It also included refunds for payroll contributions deducted for October health coverage.
The company suspended its program.
Dalton wrote, “Our hope is that this news brings some relief and a little breathing room for you and your loved ones.”
The company was estimated to have had over 100 employees when it ceased normal operations.
Since suspending flights, OneFlight has faced three lawsuits from jet card clients.
A lawsuit by Jeremy Ricks alleged “the hallmark of a Ponzi scheme.”
A lawyer representing Rajput did not respond to a request for comment and updates on the company’s status.
