“Jet cards have been growing fast because they bridge the gap between on-demand charter and fractional or full ownership,” says Doug Gollan, founder and editor-in-chief. “There isn’t the same long-term and upfront costs that you have with fractional or full ownership, and compared to on-demand charter, jet cards save time and often save money too,” he continues.
The key to finding the right program is to do research up front, and that’s where Private Jet Card Comparisons fits in. Barron’s recently called it “a modern-day online Kelley Blue Book for private jet cards that compares over 250 programs by 60-plus characteristics.”
