A jet card is a private aviation product that enables holders to use different aircraft at agreed-upon fixed hourly rates. Jet cards are offered by large and small fleet operators and charter brokers.[1][2] There are as many as 65 variables between jet card companies, according to Private Jet Card Comparisons, a buyer's guide to jet card programs.
Traditional jet card programs are prepaid hours of occupied flight time on a given aircraft or size of aircraft.[1] Some programs include not only jets, but turboprops. The term "jet card" can also refer to prepaid private jet charter programs that have similar attributes.
Notable jet card providers include Jet Linx, Wheels Up, Air Partner, Air Charter Service, Airstream Jets, Marquis Jet (NetJets), Volato, Flexjet, and Luxury Aircraft Solutions.[3][4][5][6][7]
