Message From Our Founder

After 20 years in the charter industry, I saw firsthand how private flyers were often left to fend for themselves – lost in a maze of confusing pricing, aggressive sales tactics, and hundreds of providers promising the world. I was frustrated by the lack of transparency and the absence of a true advocate for the client. The industry has become impersonal and focused on prioritizing profits over people. That's why I founded The Jet Merchants.

Think of us as your team of secret industry insiders, who understand the hidden rules and complexities of private aviation. We're here to cut through the noise, help you maximize your investment in private aviation, and provide the concierge level of attention you deserve. You're spending a lot of money to fly private — you should be treated better and have more control over the entire experience.
