You Can Now Fly As Much As You Like By Private Jet

JetSmarter, a private jet booking app backed by Jay Z and the Saudi royal family, is looking to be an Uber-like disruptor in the sky. As we mentioned in one of our previous articles, online private jet charter booking is not a novelty today. JetSmarter allows passengers to book flights on a pay-as-you-go basis or offers an annual membership allowing unlimited travel for £6,450. With the ability to secure a flight under the "shared" service, Petrossov said JetSmarter is more directly competing with commercial airlines.

The majority of jets (in Europe at least) stand empty in their hangers nine days out of ten, coming into use only when called-up for service by their irritatingly successful owners. The private plane cost depends on the flight time. Fly exactly where and when you need to. Chartered flights with JetSmarter are available on some of the world's most luxurious planes.

Through this partnership, JetSmarter will serve as SportStar Relocation's exclusive aviation supplier by providing their elite realtors in major league sports cities, and their professional athlete clients with access to luxurious and affordable private jet flights.

The use of smartphone apps would make immediate reservations a possibility, in the same way that users of online taxi services like Uber can make instant cab bookings. JetShuttle where members can book onto scheduled routes two or more months in advance and travel with corporate people who have similar interests.

Basically, if you live near a major transportation hub like I do, and travel 3 times a year around the USA, joining JetSmarter will save you time and money. Good way to find out about opportunities for flights on private planes. This is not a fly around the world for free on private jets service.

Booking a private plane for a similar flight could cost tens of thousands. JetSmarter's funding has given it unicorn" status. With a repertoire of services and celebrity backing, JetSmarter is called the ‘Uber for private jets' for all the right reasons. Members have access to ten types of aircraft and are required to provide as little as ten hours' notice time for flights.

With this concept, the ‘uber of private jets' can bolster private aviation, reduce prices and usher in a change in the stale services offered. Available flights appear in the app as a list by airports nearest you, and your Frequent locations" may still be set for optimal flight routes.

Judging by the way it has been received in the market (FYI, the app allows a flight to be booked in just about three minutes), JetSmarter certainly seems to have achieved its founding goals. Several startups are coming up to provide ‘Uber for Private Jet' services for instant bookings of private jet charters.

Those factors have led 6,700 people to become JetSmarter members, which requires an $11,500 annual fee and a one-time $3,500 initiation charge with an additional cost for initiating a charter (there's no extra charge, however, for booking an open seat on a charter someone else sets up).

JetSmarter also just announced they've added four new routes on the Gulfstream IV SP including New York - San Francisco, New York - Las Vegas, Los Angeles - Fort Lauderdale, and Fort Lauderdale - Las Vegas. To put this into perspective, in our example JetSmarter loses $22,666.68 on each shuttle they run between New York and California.
