Private jets need no introduction. They are used by many individuals and MNCs on a daily basis. Having a private jet is more of a need than a luxury for many companies. They can use private jets for frequent business travel by their employees. By doing this, helps them to retain the employees and lower the attrition rate. Also, using jets gives a global feel to the company.

Affluent individuals are some other people who use private jets. They may use it for business and personal works.

But unfortunately, not every company or every individual can afford to have a private jet. Owning a private jet involves maintenance, employing crew, fuel, parking space, etc. So, it is next to impossible for most people.

Bringing private jet under the model of Uber can be revolutionary. Using private jets under the Uber like model is a new idea and it is yet to take off. Even Uber had planned to start a dedicated jet service only in 2022. At present, there are few companies in the Uber for jet business and I will talk about it later.

How uber for private jet booking app works?

Like any other Uber for X businesses, you have a customer app, owner app, admin panel. Using the customer app you search for a jet and get connected to the owner of an available private jet. You speak with them and reserve a time slot. See, it is very simple. It is similar to the ride sharing service but here aircraft is used in place of the car.

Now we can see the two ways to book a jet.

First is the jet-sharing model. Here the owner of the jet flies others in their jet. This is similar to carpooling.

Second is the subscription model where you pay a fee and can use the jet for unlimited times in the limited period.

The type of model depends on the jet owners. If you have an idea to start this business, you first develop the Uber like app for this business and market it so that jet owners can list their service on the app. After the completion of a service or before the ride, the customer pays the owner using multiple payment options. A small amount of commission goes to you. This is the revenue model for this business.
