With seemingly fewer flights, JetSmarter is launching another special offer to attract new members
JetSmarter is offering new registrants on the JetSmarter.com the option to book two private flights at JetSmarter member prices, which will be valid for 14 days. According to a press release, this offering will allow new travelers the opportunity to experience JetSmarter’s service and allow them to save an average of $750 on their first two flights with JetSmarter. Travelers will be able to choose from any of the flights posted in the app, create a flight along JetSmarter’s existing routes or charter a flight to any destination on the globe and share it with other fliers, or keep the flight completely private. Travelers can book either via JetSmarter’s website or through the mobile app.

It is a sister company of VistaJet. Prior to the sale of XOJet it had built an on-fleet and off-fleet model with over $100 million in brokerage sales.
In June 2019, its brokerage was merged with JetSmarter, another Vista Global acquisition. The new brand was named XO Global LLC, and the website URL was changed to FlyXO.com.
XO had offered a wide spectrum of programs, from fixed-rated offerings on its fleet of super-midsize private jets (Citation X and Challenger 300) and off-fleet on light and midsize jets. In July 2021, it suspended its fixed-rate Elite Access membership.
XO is the combination of XOJET’s brokerage and JetSmarter following the acquisition of both by Vista Global Holdings in 2018 and 2019.
Recently its parent Vista Global acquired a minority interest in Red Wing Aero, with plans to build its fleet of light jets. It also acquired Apollo Jets, a larger private jet charter broker, which is now a subsidiary of XO Global.
With the Apollo acquisition, Vista Global gained a minority interest in Talon Air, a top 20 Part 135 charter operator. XOJET, Red Wing, and Talon Air-operated aircraft are used in XO programs.
Additionally, it uses third-party charter operators.
As a foreign entity, Vista Global is barred from holding a majority stake in U.S. airlines, including charter carriers. However, it owns both the XO charter and jet card brokerage and aircraft in the XOJet and Red Wing fleets. Talon Air is a mix of owned and managed private jets.
XO is included in Private Jet Card Comparisons’ database of over 50 jet card providers, enabling you to compare programs in minutes.
When was it founded?
XOJET was founded in 2006, and became XO Global LLC after merging with JetSmarter in 2019. XOJet Aviation is a separate company that operates aircraft owned by Vista Global Holding, including the former XOJet fleet.
