Description
[redacted]’s vision to provide the freedom and exhilaration of private air travel to more people than ever is realized through efficient operations, acute attention to detail, acclaimed customer service, and industry-leading safety practices. [redacted] continues to be the only jet charter company to guarantee instant, online quotes for its fleet of WiFi-equipped [redacted] Phenom 100 and 300 aircraft.
The fastest growing jet charter company in the nation, [redacted] is backed by some of the strongest names in aviation and customer service, including: David Neeleman (Founder, JetBlue Airways & CEO, Azul Brazilian Airlines); Tony Hsieh (CEO, Zappos.com); and Art Samberg (Founder, Pequot Partners). Its executive team includes: CEO, Alex Wilcox (Co-Founder, JetBlue Airways); President, Stephanie Chung; and VP of Operations, Brian Coulter.
[redacted]X commenced public charter service in April 2016. We offer a new product in aviation by combining the speed and convenience of a private jet, with superior onboard experience, sold by the seat, at a price near that of existing commercial service. The [redacted]X fleet of Embraer 135s is a luxuriously reconfigured 30 passenger jet, each seat with at least 36-inch pitch, free WiFi, and the comforts of a private jet at the price of flying commercial. Unlike [redacted]\\\'s private jets (where customers must book the whole aircraft), [redacted]X sells individual seats on scheduled flights.
