Jet Charter App
Similar to Uber, but for flying, there are many specialized apps that search for plane and seat availabilities with jet brokers and charter companies. Some of the apps are part of a membership club and you need to be a paying member to use the app. “Simple Charters” is this kind of app that can be used without membership costs or subscription fees.
Empty Leg and Last Minute Flights
Many times private jet operators rent an entire private jet to a party that flies only one way. Then, they have to return to their home base empty. In order to make some money on the return flight, these operators will rent you a seat on such a flight for a very good price. The same idea applies to last minute flights – where the jet operator gets last minute cancellations. Again, they will sell the empty seats for a good price. There are companies in the UK that specialize in finding these opportunities for you, including: Air Partner, Victor and Jetpartners.
Private Jet Clubs
Jet clubs usually operate a small fleet of private jets with certain set routes and schedules, similar to a regular commercial airline but using a private jet aircraft. You get to use these jets by buying a membership, with the cost being determined by the number of flight hours and number of seats you need, usually for an annual period. The main company operating such clubs in the UK is XO (formally JetSmarter).
Pay Per Seat
This fly by private jet method is truly like a commercial airline, with prescheduled routes and schedules, utilizing private jet aircraft. There are no membership or subscription fees, you just buy an available seat just like from a regular airline company. The main company doing this in the UK is JetClass.
