US-based jet card membership and management company Jet Linx, which has 18 bases in the States, has released the latest version of its mobile app, featuring a new flight sharing programme called OpenSeat Exchange. Available exclusively on the updated Jet Linx mobile app, OpenSeat Exchange offers aircraft owners and members the ability to buy or sell empty seats on Jet Linx flights on a per-seat basis.

“We are thrilled to provide our 2,000 jet card members and 115 aircraft owners with an innovative new app feature designed to further improve, enrich and elevate the Jet Linx private jet travel experience,” says Jamie Walker, president and CEO of Jet Linx. “In 2018, there were over 40,000 empty seats on Jet Linx flights. OpenSeat Exchange is a solution that gives our clients the ability to buy and sell these empty seats on a per-flight, per-seat basis. It's a secure, trusted, peer-to-peer exchange of open seats within the Jet Linx community.”

The Jet Linx mobile app already features the ability to book private jets in real-time at guaranteed hourly rates, quote future trips, arrange catering and ground transportation, make flight manifest changes, view and book empty one-way flights at below market pricing, and receive Jet Linx news and updates.
