With over a dozen new base partner deals already inked, Executive Chairman Jamie Walker expects a dozen more deals this year.
After relaunching its base partner program with a new approach last December, Executive Chairman Jamie Walker says Jet Linx has signed up over a dozen new participants.
Speaking during the National Business Aviation Association’s annual convention here in Las Vegas, Walker tells Private Jet Card Comparisons he expects around 12 more deals before the end of the year.
Before Covid, the partner program operated more like a local partnership or franchise.
After rolling the existing base partners’ interests into the main company, the relaunch takes what Walker calls “the best of both structures.”
Base partners represent Jet Linx in their local communities, but they are investing purely in the main company.
The structure enables consistency at the local level, where Jet Linx stands out by providing aircraft owners with dedicated lounges and hangar space, while also ensuring consistency through standardized guest service across the experience.
The company has always centralized management of safety, training, operations, and locally performed maintenance.
Walker says plans are still being finalized, and Jet Linx will bring its services to the West Coast.
There are currently 22 locations nationwide.
The private lounges enable flyers to avoid often crowded FBOs.
Services include valet parking and vehicle detailing while you travel.
There is also an open bar and snacks, which are provided based on the profiles of clients departing and arriving that day.
Base partners are HNWs who live in and are active in their local communities.
In some cases, new base partners replace longtime base partners who are no longer as active and don’t want to continue the commitment expected of ambassadors.
In other cases, Walker says they are additional and bring a complementary network of connections.
Also, they bring new locations, such as the West Coast.
Jet Linx ranked as the 8th-largest U.S. private jet operator based on charter and fractional flight hours in 2025.
