Best Private Aviation Options for 2021
Although many businesses have faced adversity this year, private aviation has experienced unprecedented growth. Flight restrictions and safety precautions persuaded luxury buyers to invest in their health while maintaining essential travel operations. Alternatives to public transit by way of jets, charters and membership options have unmasked paramount growth potential for private aviation companies, both in the short and long-term.
And buyers are reaping the benefits. Increasing interest has empowered management companies and manufacturers to enhance their appeal with amplified luxuries and expanded amenities. Because the transportation industry is adapting to a “new normal,” reduced costs associated with private travel also appeal to new customers. As such, Jet Cards and fractional ownership are in the midst of a renaissance.
Now is also an ideal time to invest in your own hardware. New jets, turboprops and helicopters offer a great return on investment, and this is truly a buyer’s market. Orders for new aircraft and helicopters have allowed the manufacturers to adopt technology that has traditionally been bound to Earth. Now that efficiency has been conquered, we have seen the biggest names in small aircraft focus on exceptional luxury and amenities. Sit back, relax and allow our Aviation Guide to take you to new heights.

JetASAP
No Commissions, No Memberships, No Fees–ever
Though there are many choices when it comes to flying privately, including memberships, jet cards and online and offline commission-based services, flyers looking to directly source and book private jet travel have had no free alternative that aggregates live charter options on demand. However, that recently changed when JetASAP announced the launch of the first ever self-service jet charter booking app for Apple iOS, with Android coming soon.
Unlike other digital platforms that provide immediate trip estimates, JetASAP has taken a different approach and built a service that sends each charter request directly to over 700 charter operators, who respond with live bookable quotes. More importantly, because the service is completely transparent, flyers immediately know the details of each operator submitting a quote and can even contact them directly on-demand via the app’s built-in chat feature. To help keep flyers safe, JetASAP has integrated safety rating information via direct automated connections to both ARGUS and Wyvern, the industry’s two primary safety auditing companies. Flyers are able to evaluate each quote, as well as the operator that provided it, and then book directly in the app when ready. JetASAP has integrated a digital signature platform that allows the flyer to view and sign charter operator contracts right in the app, or on their computer if they prefer. Either way,
all trip details, including passenger information, itineraries and changes are handled right through the app to keep everything easily accessible.
Though the service provides tremendous value by offering flyers complete control over the entire booking process, the best feature by far is the price. JetASAP is completely free for flyers to use, with no membership fees, commissions or other charges of any kind. Combined with its powerful ability to directly connect flyers with operators with nobody in the middle, JetASAP is the only private jet travel app you’ll ever need.
