Jet Republic

Jet Republic's private jet club offered members two programs: share ownership and the private jet card.

Share ownership was for jet owners to purchase or lease a fractional share of a Learjet 60 XR by only paying for an aircraft share equal to the hours they needed, starting at 50 hours a year. This program allowed owners the benefits of private jet travel without the management responsibilities or the large initial capital investment. In addition it offered a buy-back option at the end of the contract.

Jet Republic’s Private Jet Card allowed card members access to flight time by purchasing 25 hours or more without any further commitment. This program offered the benefits of private aviation with the simple pricing structure of a one-off payment. In addition all Jet Republic members were able to fly anywhere in the world through its partnerships with other operators. Hours on the Private Jet Card never expired and unused hours were refunded at any time.

The Financial Times reported that Jet Republic intended to differentiate its offering by “flying the aircraft with a flight attendant as standard, a service usually provided only on larger executive jets, and with hot meals and fresh espresso coffee. Passengers will also have in flight BlackBerry connectivity.”
