How do you source your planes, staff and pilots? We're currently partnered with 800+ carriers across the globe, who work with our team to provide our app users with around 3,200 aircra and 4,000 free flight hours each month. Our partners can use the same app as our customers to manage their inventory in real-time from any mobile device, and fill their flights instantly. e partners that we have cover a large number of international destinations, to enable our customers to be able to fly worldwide within as little as six hours from booking their flight. With businesses like Uber becoming the norm, how do you see the private aviation industry changing in the near future? In the private aviation industry, many are familiar with jet cards or fractional jet ownership, where a light to mid-sized jet card can cost one anywhere from $130,000 to $150,000 a year for 25 hours worth of flying. JetSmarter's starting point is $17,500, so they've essentially lowered the entry point for private aviation, allowing many people with a lower net worth to fly privately when they never could before. Also, today, in the tech age, luxury is transcending past brand to experience. It's no longer about the brand, marketing and brand association. It's about personalization and what I call predictive hospitality. With the price point and appeal of the luxury experience, the private aviation industry will grow enormously.
