AERO
Aiming to “bring the magic back to flying” by blending hospitality, design and convenience into a beyond-first-class experience, Aero was conceived by Uber co-founder Garrett Camp and launched in 2021 to offer book-by-seat, semiprivate jet service. Passengers aboard Aero’s sleek black jets enjoy curated Erewhon dining, an open bar with brands like Veuve Clicquot, Starlink Wi-Fi and spa-quality amenities such as Amandine Sol Botanicals skincare products. With oversize Italian leather seats and abundant legroom, comfort is key, and Aero’s streamlined services include curbside luggage assistance, crowd-free terminals, 20-minute checkins and rapid luggage delivery upon landing. International travelers benefit from dedicated customs agents for efficient passport control. Destinations include Napa, Los Angeles, Aspen, Los Cabos and more (with expansion planned for East Coast markets), and tailored luxury travel packages featuring premier hotel partners, plus 24/7 personalized service to boot.
With 25 years of industry experience under its belt, Jet Linx has long been a go-to for flying private in high style.
JET LINX
Established in 1999 and boasting base locations in more than 20 major U.S. markets, Jet Linx has redefined the world of private air travel with a localized service model that blends personalized attention, national reach, and a focus on safety and luxury. Operating through a Jet Card membership program, the company offers members exclusive access to a private terminal network, aiming for a seamless and elevated travel experience with guaranteed availability, fixed hourly rates and flexibility to match members’ needs. Members can expect luxe amenities like spacious cabins, premium seating and in-flight concierge services; Jet Linx can also arrange ground transportation, assist with booking hotels and coordinate with partners to activate exclusive offers. Bonus: The company also offers an Aircraft Management program for jet owners interested in generating revenue by offering their aircraft for charter when not in use. That dual focus is what makes Jet Linx unique, says CEO Brent Wouters. "For aircraft owners, Jet Linx delivers the highest charter revenue and lowest operating costs, which allows owners to offset significant costs of aircraft ownership. [And] for Jet Card members, Jet Linx focuses on building authentic local and personal relationships with our clients that allows us to deliver a truly exceptional flight experience on every trip."

Airshare’s fractional ownership program allows members to make multiple trips in a day without incurring extra costs.
AIRSHARE
In addition to aircraft management, jet cards and charter services, Airshare also stands out among leaders in the private aviation sector by offering fractional ownership. The program allows customers to purchase shares in a private jet, granting access to a designated number of flight hours annually. Unlike traditional ownership models, Airshare (which owns its own fractional fleet of jets, unlike some competitors) enables travelers to use their hours by the day, allowing for multiple trips and up to 14 hours of crew duty without accruing extra costs for each flight segment, an approach that’s ideal for business and leisure travelers seeking maximum value and convenience. Luxury is key for the company as well—think spacious, meticulously maintained cabins; premium seating; and personalized service like an owner services team on call 24/7.
