JetSmarter, the world's largest private aviation community, has announced it is already flying its first five fully-dedicated and branded Gulfstream IV-SP aircraft, as it continues to expand and improve travel options for passengers.

Traditionally, JetSmarter partners with private air carriers across the globe to provide its aircraft to customers. Now, working alongside aircraft owners, or those interested in acquiring aircraft, JetSmarter is elevating its passenger's travel experience by building its branded fleet.

The jets come with brand new interiors and five-star flight crews, serving a selection of curated in-flight cocktails in partnership with Pernod Ricard, as well as gourmet catering. Each aircraft is also equipped with fast and reliable 4G Wi-Fi, allowing passengers to browse the web, access email, and stream videos at any time with no interruption. 

"It's our goal through our new, fully-branded aircraft, to create a class that is truly above first for our community," said Sergey Petrossov, founder and CEO of JetSmarter. "Being able to customize our planes to our exact taste allows us to perfect our already reliable, premium travel experience."

The owner program is a simple solution for owners that currently own aircraft and want to defray the cost, or new owners looking for tax benefits, without the hassle and expense of owning an aircraft. JetSmarter takes on the expenses associated with maintaining and running the aircraft and owners collect an hourly return.

Additionally, owners get a unique JetSmarter owner membership that includes special perks and exclusive discounts for flying with JetSmarter. It is truly the industry's first turn-key solution for aircraft ownership.

JetSmarter is currently on-boarding Gulfstream IV-SP aircraft, but will diversify to more aircraft types in the future. Aircraft owners that are interested in participating in the program should contact JetSmarter at owners@jetsmarter.com.

These aircraft have already taken to the skies, flying between cities like New York, Miami, Dallas, Chicago and Los Angeles. JetSmarter plans to expand its branded fleet to 30 more aircraft over the next year.

The aircraft is operated by JetEdge, an ARG/US Platinum and IS-BAO Stage 3 operator.
