A handful of firms have discovered you don’t need to charter out an entire aircraft to attract a new kind of frequent flier. XO, JSX and Aero are now offering single seats on private jets, each configured with fewer seats than the standard layout. They are targeting clients who don’t mind sharing the jet to gain the benefits of easier access to the aircraft from private terminals, a personalized experience on board and a stress-free process.
They have increased the number of flights while offering a super-unique service. There is a gap between first-class commercial and private jet charter. There is an opportunity for a new kind of premium product for business aviation with the allure of white glove service.
A user-friendly app lets you search, book and purchase a seat while updating the flights with dynamic pricing. There is still the option to talk to a live person if you prefer. You can also book your meal through the app.
The three firms say single-seat business remains strong.
