New type of airline service allows travellers to fly on private jets for as little as €290

Any traveller who’s ever tried to book a business class seat in Europe probably has at least one story to tell about ridiculously high prices, substandard quality and a woeful lack of availability. To make matters worse, alternatives to commercial aviation can be just as dissatisfying – often requiring exorbitant membership fees in return for inflexible or inconvenient routes.

Enter JetClass, a revolutionary new travel service that gives passengers the unique ability to book seats on private jets for similar prices to business class fares. In fact, JetClass has just released a new schedule which offers seats from as little as €290.

Since its launch on 22nd July 2017, JetClass has operated over 50 flights across Europe. At the beginning of October, JetClass introduced 7 additional European destinations, connecting Paris-Milan, Warsaw-Vienna, Berlin-Strasbourg, Hannover-Amsterdam, London-Chambery and others. The company is also due to start services in the Middle East later this year, and in the US next year.

Technology entrepreneur, Wagas Ali, and business aviation guru, Vladislav Zenov, created JetClass as an antidote to the unsatisfactory state of business travel in Europe. JetClass’ mission is to improve air travel standards for business and leisure travellers alike, offering the convenience, comfort and speed of private jet travel. As Mr Ali explains, “Not only are JetClass flights superior in comfort and quality to existing business class options, but the convenience of the service makes us an obvious choice for European passage. We intend to change the way people perceive business class travel and to set a new standard in aviation.”

Private jet flights, which depart from and arrive into smaller, fully-serviced air terminals, let travellers skip long lines and bypass crowded baggage claim areas. Also, the comparatively faster flight times of many private jets – as compared to commercial flights – allow passengers to get to their chosen destinations on time or ahead of schedule.

JetClass is able to keep prices low, by being the first airline to utilise artificial intelligence to determine its flight routes, harnessing technology to analyse demand for each route against existing flight options, in order to determine which flight itineraries to offer as part of a dynamic schedule. Using this state-of-the-art system allows JetClass to optimise each jet’s scheduling to reduce costs, thus providing a superior service for an affordable price.

In addition, by making its service available through GDS and meta search websites, as well as working with the leading travel agencies, JetClass has been able to open private jet travel up to a whole new group of travellers for the first time. Previously, it was not possible to book flights on private jets through these channels.

As JetClass continues to expand its routes and refine its schedules, the intention is to open up the once-exclusive experience of private jet travel to more and more passengers – at prices that are accessible.
