What does the $15,000 annual fee actually cover?

The fee covers the office: charter sourcing at negotiated rates across a vetted operator network, a dedicated point of contact who manages every trip, operator vetting and safety verification on every booking, the FlyJBL Travel Desk handling everything around the flight, and a quarterly aviation review with spend analysis. Flights are priced separately and negotiated on each trip. The fee is not a deposit, an hour bank, or a capital commitment.

How is this different from a jet card or a fractional share?

Those are ways to buy access to aircraft. Private Client Group is the function that manages the category. A fractional share requires $500,000 to $5 million in capital locked into a depreciating asset. A jet card requires a prepaid deposit on hours that expire in 12 to 18 months. Both sell a fixed hourly rate set high enough to protect the provider under the worst conditions the contract will see, with surcharges layered on top. FlyJBL negotiates against the live charter market on every trip, with no capital committed and nothing on a clock.

How do you make money if the fee is only $15,000?

Every quote shows the operator cost, FlyJBL's margin, and the total. The margin is disclosed on each trip rather than buried in a rate. That is the whole pricing model, and it is why the incentive is to source well rather than to sell you a particular aircraft. FlyJBL holds no fleet and no fractional inventory, so there is nothing we need to fill.

Who is this built for?

Companies, family offices, and private households flying roughly 25 to 150 hours a year, at $200,000 to $2 million or more in annual private aviation spend. If you already employ a Director of Aviation or Chief Pilot, you have the function. If you fly more than 300 hours a year, an in-house department or ownership may genuinely pencil, and we will say so on the first call.

How do I know what I am currently paying is competitive?

Send us your last three to five flights and what you paid. We re-price those legs against the live operator network and show you what was surcharge, which operators actually flew them and what their safety ratings were, and the cost of capital on any locked share or hour bank. For most people it is the clearest picture they have ever had of this category.

FlyJBL Private Client Group

You Already Have the Program. You Don’t Have Anyone Watching It.

A fractional share or a jet card is a decision you made once, at signing. Managing what you bought is a different job entirely — one that starts the day the contract is executed and never stops. The invoice needs auditing. The peak-day calendar needs tracking. The interchange multiplier needs revisiting. The provider needs someone on the phone with them who isn’t you.
‍
Almost no owner staffs that job. Almost nobody tells them it exists — until a surcharge, a blackout date, or a renewal notice makes it unavoidable.
‍
That’s the job FlyJBL Private Client Group does for you.

The Owner’s Office: A smarter way to manage what you already own

Large organizations run flight departments: professionals who audit invoices, track scheduling, and manage every operator relationship. That oversight costs $2.4 million or more a year, and makes sense above roughly 175 flight hours (NBAA).
‍
Below that line sit thousands of owners flying 20 to 150 hours a year — identical requirements, none of the infrastructure. So the work falls to the owner, an overextended assistant, or no one, until a billing dispute or renewal notice forces it.
‍
The Owner’s Office fills that gap. We make the flight calls with the provider, and our internal Travel Desk handles ground, catering, and hotel or villa bookings.

What The Owner’s Office Does for You

We deal with your provider so you don’t have to.

Booking, service issues, invoice disputes, renewal conversations — FlyJBL calls, resolves, and escalates directly with your provider. You are never the one on hold.

We track your calendar before you book.

Peak, blackout, and callout dates are watched against your real travel pattern, so you know before you fly whether a date is going to cost you — and whether chartering that trip instead is the smarter move.

We work your existing terms for savings you weren’t asking for.

Interchange multiplier, peak-day exposure, renewal leverage actively optimized, not just audited. Clients typically see 20 percent or more in identified savings against what they were paying before.

We bring in charter when it’s genuinely the better option.

Wrong category, blackout date, no availability or simply cheaper to charter than to fly on your program once fees are counted. Either way, we source it through our own vetted network at wholesale rates.

The Owner’s Office: A smarter way to own a fractional share or jet card.

A partner. One person who knows your program, your contract, and your calendar — not a call center, and not a new representative every time you call your provider.

A standard. Every invoice checked line by line against your actual contract — management fee, occupied hourly charge, fuel index, peak-day, and interchange by a team that knows exactly where these programs are built to work against you.

A market. No fleet and no fractional inventory of our own, so when your program can’t cover a trip, the charter we source is negotiated on the open market, not sold out of anyone’s inventory.

An advocate. We work your existing terms — the interchange multiplier, the peak-day language, the renewal leverage — to capture savings most owners assume are fixed. Clients typically save 20 percent or more against what they were paying before.

What Happens After You Sign

Owning the access is one part of a fractional share or jet card — making it work as hard as possible for you is the other. Behind your point of contact, FlyJBL manages everything between the contract you signed and the value you actually get from it. One call. One team. One accountable office. You are not tracking your own peak-day exposure, chasing a fee dispute, or working the fine print for savings — you are simply flying, while someone else runs the plan on your behalf.
‍
Every month, we check your actual usage against your contract to find where the plan can work harder for you — a multiplier that’s gone stale, a peak day that can be traded, a renewal term that can be improved. When there’s room to save or upgrade, FlyJBL negotiates it directly with your provider, without you ever making the call. That’s the difference between owning a fractional share or jet card and actually maximizing one. The purchase is one afternoon; getting the most out of it is a job we do every month, quietly, so ownership stays completely friction-free.

One annual fee. No Additional capital.

$15,000 +

An annual fee for a dedicated aviation office. No change to the program you already own.

1

Program optimization — actively working your existing terms (interchange, peak-day exposure, renewal leverage) to capture savings, commonly 20 percent or more.

2

A dedicated point of contact — one person managing every trip, on-program or off, so you’re never re-explaining your preferences to a call center.

3

Direct interaction with your provider — FlyJBL handles booking, service issues, invoice disputes, and renewal or resizing conversations on your behalf.

4

On-demand charter sourcing at negotiated rates — whenever your program can’t cover a trip, or simply costs more than the open market on that route.

5

The FlyJBL Travel Desk — ground, catering, hotels, FBO, internationalhandling, and customs, arranged as one trip.

6

Access to the FlyJBL network — including partner events, golf courses,and exceptional destinations — arranged by the Travel Desk for every journey.

7

Monthly invoice audit — every statement checked line by line against your actual contract, so discrepancies get caught before they become a pattern.
