Skyjet has launched Skyjet Max, a new feature now available in the company’s iOS app. The service lets clients book a range of aircraft instantly through the app without upfront costs, membership fees, or repositioning charges. Booking is designed to be simple: select the aircraft type, approve the displayed price, and complete payment via Apple Pay. Users may also pay by credit card or wire transfer if they prefer.
Skyjet highlights several benefits of the new offering: immediate, no-fee access to a curated fleet reserved for Skyjet customers; secure, real-time pricing; guaranteed aircraft availability; and multiple payment options. According to Greg Richman, Skyjet’s president, “Skyjet Max, together with the updated Skyjet App, changes the entire on-demand business model by giving the charter market what it has been looking for: instant, direct access to a custom fleet of aircraft set aside exclusively for Skyjet clients. Booking a flight has never been easier, with seamless, instant booking made possible with Apple Pay, no fees, no memberships and no lengthy waits for quotes or approvals by jet owners to delay booking.”
The app offers several specific aircraft types for instant booking, including the Nextant 400XT, Cessna Citation X, and Learjet 40 XR. Skyjet says it is the only charter broker providing immediate access to these particular models through an app-based service. For itineraries that fall outside the predefined options, clients can request a custom quote directly within the app.
Beyond speed and convenience, Skyjet emphasizes the operational flexibility the app provides. Travelers can obtain real-time quotes, choose the aircraft that best fits their trip, and finalize bookings while on the move. “The Skyjet App provides travelers with unprecedented efficiency, flexibility and convenience. The app empowers users to get real-time instant quotes through Skyjet Max, book and pay for their trip — all while on the go,” Richman added. “Skyjet Max — compare, book, fly. It really is that easy.”
The Skyjet Max rollout reinforces the company’s focus on streamlining private charter logistics and removing common barriers such as membership requirements and lengthy approval processes. By reserving a dedicated pool of aircraft and integrating immediate payment options, Skyjet aims to shorten the time from search to departure, particularly for customers who value speed, certainty, and straightforward pricing.
The updated Skyjet App continues to support additional features for trip planning and customer service, including the ability to request custom quotes, choose payment methods, and manage bookings from a single interface. These capabilities are intended to serve both frequent flyers and occasional charter users who want the convenience of private travel without traditional broker friction.
