FlyBlack looks to harness idle jets
Through FlyBlack's model, aircraft operators can sell charter flights on idle aircraft in real time while private jet flyers are able to search, book and fly on verified, cost efficient custom charters and empty legs.

FlyBlack is entering into the private jet industry with a business model designed for the digital age. Operating as a private jet booking platform, the company has developed and launched a marketplace solution specialising in on demand private jet charter and exclusive one way ‘JetDeals’ for its members. It offers proprietary technology that aims to consolidate thousands of idle private jets worldwide into one global aviation marketplace.

Historically, the process of booking an on demand private jet charter has been through a private jet broker who is responsible for consulting, arranging and executing a charter agreement between a client and an aircraft operator. Clients would have no centralised platform to have transparency, reliability or control of their own bookings.

Through FlyBlack's model, aircraft operators can sell charter flights on idle aircraft in real time while private jet flyers are able to seamlessly and confidently search, book and fly on verified, cost efficient custom charters and empty legs. Beyond its marketplace solution, FlyBlack provides its members an array of special benefits including complimentary flights and one of a kind experiences.

“Our platform and services are designed to accommodate our clients' evolving needs and requests,” says president Suman Desai. Recognised industry leader and the new company's CEO, Sami Belbase explains, "We have paired technology that has digitised and economised the market with our expert, 24/7 client support team to elevate the entire client experience. This is just the beginning.”
