JET365's New Jet Card Aims to Reshape Private Aviation Access

MIAMI, FL – January 23, 2026 – Private aviation brokerage JET365 today launched a new Jet Card program, introducing a deposit-based model designed to offer clients a higher degree of financial flexibility, pricing transparency, and guaranteed aircraft access. The move signals a direct challenge to the established norms of fractional ownership and traditional jet card programs, targeting a growing segment of private flyers who prioritize liquidity and adaptability.

The program's launch comes as the private aviation market continues its robust growth trajectory, with industry projections estimating the sector could surpass $40 billion by the early 2030s. Within this expansion, jet card and subscription models are experiencing particularly strong demand, as frequent travelers seek predictable costs and reliable access without the capital-intensive commitments of full or fractional aircraft ownership.

A New Model for Private Jet Access

At the core of the JET365 offering is a straightforward, deposit-based structure. Clients can fund an account with one of three tiers—$150,000, $300,000, or $500,000—and draw down the balance as they fly. Unlike many programs that involve long-term contracts or non-refundable membership fees, JET365's deposits are fully refundable at any time, a feature that provides significant financial agility for both individual and corporate clients.

This model allows for dynamic usage across various aircraft categories, from light jets for short regional hops to large-cabin aircraft for international travel, without locking the client into a single asset type. Pricing is structured on a fixed, all-inclusive hourly rate, which notably excludes additional charges for taxi time—a common practice that can obscure the true cost of a flight. This commitment to transparency aims to remove the friction and unpredictability often associated with ad-hoc charter billing.

“Our Jet Card gives clients what they actually want: premium aircraft, flexible access to any jet category, and fixed pricing without being stuck on older, beat-up airframes and interiors like fractional programs," said Alessandro Figliano, Chief Executive Officer of JET365. The company asserts that this approach directly addresses a key market concern regarding the age and quality of aircraft available in some larger, more diluted fleets.

Beyond the Flight: Cultivating an Exclusive Community

While financial flexibility and operational transparency are key pillars of the new program, JET365 is also positioning its Jet Card as a gateway to an exclusive lifestyle. The company emphasizes the creation of a "true member community" that receives "top-tier treatment," moving beyond the purely transactional nature of on-demand charter.

This promise is substantiated by tangible, high-value experiences. A prime example is the company's partnership with the BWT Alpine Formula One Team for the 2025 season, which grants Jet Card holders privileged access to exclusive hospitality events, including the prestigious Formula One Paddock Club at select Grands Prix. Such offerings are designed to appeal to a clientele that values not only efficient travel but also unique networking opportunities and curated luxury experiences.

According to Figliano, this community aspect is a critical differentiator. "We’ve built a true member community that gets top-tier treatment—private dinners, high-profile events, and access bigger providers reserve only for their top 1%," he stated. This strategy aims to foster loyalty and create a sense of belonging that extends well beyond the aircraft cabin, transforming a travel service into a comprehensive lifestyle membership.

A Strategic Tool for Corporate Travel

The program is also carefully structured to meet the complex demands of the corporate world. For companies with significant or fluctuating travel needs, the Jet Card offers a scalable and predictable solution. JET365 provides customized deposit arrangements and pricing for businesses with higher flight volumes, ensuring the program can adapt to specific corporate travel policies.

An essential feature for business clients is the detailed reporting system, which provides transparent breakdowns of usage for accounting and internal travel management. This simplifies expense tracking and offers clear oversight for CFOs and travel managers. Furthermore, the program is designed to handle complex logistical requirements, such as coordinating simultaneous itineraries for executive teams, ensuring that business-critical travel is executed seamlessly. This combination of flexibility, cost control, and logistical support positions the Jet Card as a strategic asset for efficient corporate mobility.

Upholding Rigorous Safety Standards

As a brokerage, JET365 does not operate its own aircraft. Instead, it provides access to a global network of third-party carriers. Central to its value proposition is a stringent safety protocol. All flights arranged through the Jet Card program are operated by carriers that meet or exceed established industry safety benchmarks, including certifications from ARGUS, Wyvern, and the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO).

These independent, third-party audits are the gold standard in private aviation, scrutinizing everything from pilot experience and training records to aircraft maintenance history and the operator's safety management systems (SMS). By mandating these standards, JET365 provides its clients with a crucial layer of verified safety and operational excellence. The company’s 24/7 flight coordination team manages all aspects of operator selection and trip oversight, ensuring compliance and quality control.

“The goal is to remove friction from private flying while maintaining consistency and control,” Figliano said. “Clients want clarity on pricing, access they can rely on, and a structure that adapts as their travel needs change.”
