Jet Card for Busineses
In August 2020, Jet Linx introduced the jet card membership program. It was aimed at optimizing corporate travel strategy “through increased connectivity and productivity.” Some of the perks of this membership include:

Business Jet Traveler reported that the services included:
” fixed hourly rates with no per-passenger fees. A twenty-four-hour lead time is required. Businesses can choose between two flexible payment options, with each including price incentives such as flight credits, confirmed upgrades, and a rewards program.”
A unique joint ownership program
Traditionally, fractional ownership of an aircraft would be shared among 16 people. However, in 2021, Jet Linx launched a joint ownership serving two owners per aircraft. After the launch of this program, Jet Linx president and CEO Jamie Walker, commented:
“We have seen a recent trend towards shared ownership, from both new buyers and existing aircraft owners, to reduce the capital outlay and carrying costs associated with whole aircraft ownership.”
And Jet Linx’s services have the best safety ratings
Jet Linx has the best safety ratings in the world, as it has received top ratings from the following:
- WYVERN Wingman PRO certification
- IS-BAO Stage 3 [the IS-BAO rating was developed by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) and is considered to be the standard-bearer for business aviation around the world]
- ARGUS Platinum Elite [can only be earned after standard checks through active monitoring]
After receiving the WYVERN Wingman PRO certificate, Jet Linx became the only operator in the aviation industry to receive the distinctions from all three major third-party auditors. Jamie Walker, President & CEO of Jet Linx Aviation, was buoyant by the distinction his company had received:
“We are immensely proud to have achieved WYVERN Wingman PRO certification..Safety has always been our top priority, and this certification is a testament of our commitment to providing the highest level of safety and service to our clients. Now holding the three most elite safety ratings in aviation, we look forward to continuing to advance our safety programs and encourage the highest safety practices throughout the industry.”

It is a program that started in 2017, and it is the only company to do so. During the summit, all its revenue operations pause, and all its aircraft (over 100 in number) are grounded. Jet Linx’s team, which is scattered worldwide, comes together and collaborates on safety.
