The nearly 20-year private aviation company introduces fixed hourly pricing, a 10-minute taxi allowance, included de-icing and non-expiring funds for corporations and frequent private flyers.
MIAMI, Oct. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Privé Jets, the private aviation company founded in 2007, has introduced a new Jet Card program designed to give corporations, aviation departments and frequent private flyers greater clarity and control over how they purchase private aviation.
The program offers fixed hourly rates for 12 months:
Midsize — $8,882/hour
Super Midsize — $9,882/hour
Heavy Jet — $12,882/hour
Membership begins with a $199,882 deposit, and deposited funds do not expire.
What differentiates the program, however, is not simply the hourly rate. Privé Jets designed the card around the total economics of each mission — including how flight time is calculated and which operating expenses are included.
The 10-Minute Difference
One of the program's most distinctive features is its fixed 10-minute taxi allowance.
Based on Privé Jets' review of competing Jet Card programs, other programs generally bill actual taxi time or use higher fixed taxi allowances. Privé Jets believes its 10-minute structure gives clients greater clarity when calculating the expected price of a mission.
Flights are otherwise based on actual flight time, subject to program terms and applicable minimums.
The program also includes de-icing, an operating expense that can otherwise introduce significant variability into winter private aviation missions.
"Sophisticated private aviation clients aren't simply comparing hourly rates," said Andres Arboleda, co-founder and COO of Privé Jets. "They want to understand the complete economics of a mission — how time is calculated, what is included and what they can expect before they fly. That's the philosophy behind this program."
Built From What Privé Jets Clients Asked For
The Jet Card was developed around feedback Privé Jets has received from clients throughout nearly two decades in private aviation.
Frequent private flyers wanted greater predictability and a simpler framework for purchasing flights throughout the year.
Corporate clients wanted greater visibility into aviation spending and the ability to establish a clearer annual aviation budget.
Corporate aviation departments identified another need: supplemental lift already in place when their own fleet cannot perform a mission.
Scheduled maintenance, unexpected aircraft downtime, simultaneous executive travel or a mission requiring a different aircraft category can all create the need for additional capacity.
"We aren't trying to replace the corporate flight department," Arboleda said. "We want to complement it. When an aircraft is down, already committed or simply isn't right for the mission, the aviation team should already have another solution available."
Clients can move between Midsize, Super Midsize and Heavy Jet categories according to mission requirements, providing additional flexibility without being tied to a single aircraft category.
What Does a Privé Jets Jet Card Flight Cost?
Privé Jets is also taking a more transparent approach to communicating real-world trip economics by publishing estimated pricing for representative private jet routes.
Representative RouteMidsizeSuper MidsizeHeavy
Houston → New York$30,938$34,257$42,081
New York → Aspen$41,893$46,116$56,036
Miami → Punta Cana$25,076$27,538$34,007
Federal Excise Tax (FET) is not included in these estimates and will be added when applicable. Estimates are based on anticipated flight time and the Privé Jets Jet Card pricing structure. Final charges may vary based on actual flight time, applicable international charges, airport-specific fees and other mission-specific conditions.
"An hourly rate is useful, but showing what an actual mission may look like provides much greater context," Arboleda said. "For our clients, this isn't about finding the lowest number. It's about having visibility, understanding the structure and knowing what to expect."
Nearly Two Decades Behind the Card
The new Jet Card builds on a private aviation business established in 2007.
Privé Jets has spent nearly two decades serving corporations, executives and private travelers and has received repeated industry recognition across North America, South America and the Caribbean.
The company has been recognized multiple times by the World Travel Awards and appeared on the Inc. 5000 for six consecutive years.
Arboleda, who co-founded Privé Jets and has spent more than two decades in private aviation, says the new program reflects lessons accumulated from years of arranging private flights and listening to how clients want to purchase aviation.
"The objective wasn't to create another Jet Card," Arboleda said. "It was to take what we've learned over almost 20 years and create a more intelligent, transparent and flexible way to access private aviation."
