There is a new wave of private aviation options to suit the changing needs of the travel world, from jet cards and charters for leisure or business, to shared ownership, leasing and other options. Besides on-demand flight companies, the decline of mid-size jets, accessibility, BRICS economies, eVTOL and sustainability are shaping the future of private aviation.
The acquisition of JetSmarter by Vista Jet, the acquisition of Travel Management by Wheels Up and the acquisition of PrivateFly by Directional Aviation, just to name a few, all indicate a move towards , from Net-Jets’ shared ownership, VistaJet’s on-demand, fixed hourly rate or lease, to XO’s private and shared charter, Fly By The Seat and many other private aviation companies.
