On-demand jet booking platform Flyjets has added private helicopter flights to its web-based application version 2.0 rollout, initially in areas surrounding New York City, the startup company announced. Flights will first be available to airports such as JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark, as well as vacation destinations such as the Hamptons and Nantucket on Airbus AS350 and AS355 light singles and twins and single-piston Robinson R44s.
Flyjets’ booking application uses proprietary aircraft data and dynamic location sourcing in part to identify the lowest point-to-point charter rates and enable its users to take advantage of empty leg discounts. Membership in Flyjets is free with no upfront payment required.
“With the release of our new features, Flyjets is increasingly focused on providing value to flyers and aircraft providers via a unique software platform,” said Flyjets founder and CEO Jessica Fisher. “Flyjets is modernizing and democratizing access to air travel, and we are effectively preparing for the future of flight—for the forthcoming personal airplanes, eVTOL aircraft, consumer flying, and piloting needs of the future. We aim to grow our offerings in keeping with advancements in technology and transportation.”
