SharedCharter is a new company in business aviation founded by veteran pilot, Carl Marbach. He says SharedCharter has “created a new ‘people-first’ niche that matches travellers at the onset of planning and fills empty seats after.”
The company’s model allows potential flyers to find other travellers to share flights, and once a match is made, they source the best aircraft for the trip and then facilitate all amenities expected when flying private.
Marbach said: “Competition in today’s private jet charter marketplace has significantly risen since the onset of Covid and many new companies are vying for a share of this highly desired consumer market.
“The hottest trend, flight-sharing led by Florida-based SharedCharter, is upending established business models that until now have fallen into these categories: air charter open marketplaces, operator direct-to-consumer, membership programmes and fractional ownerships. The central theme of these models is built around aircraft operators filling existing flights, or customers being tied to a singular membership.”
Another feature with SharedCharter is travellers are not limited by aircraft or location. The company works with a network of private jet brokers and operators enabling users to fly to and from airports across North America on a FAA Certified Part 135 air carrier that fits the profile of the trip.
“Our approach is different from other private jet services in that we match up one or more travellers looking to take the same itinerary before anything else is discussed,” said Marbach. “We also offer travellers more flight options by aggregating all available flights matched with their desired departure date and destination. No one else does this.”
