For North Carolina-based flyExclusive, 2021 was a year of explosive growth. Last year, it achieved record revenue growth and climbed from seventh to fourth largest private charter operator in the US, according to Private Jet Card Comparisons, as demand surged across the country and globally.

As the second largest owner-operator of Cessna Citation aircraft in the world, flyExclusive completed over 43,000 hours of flying last year, more than 75 per cent higher than the previous year and with faster growth than the other top four operators. Additionally, the company delivered major enhancements to its Jet Club and grew memberships by more than 150 per cent while many operators scaled back their jet card offerings and added restrictions for new members to offset jet demand. flyExclusive made investments in its fleet to guarantee availability so that new Jet Club members were able to fly immediately without any restrictions or blackouts.

“Last year we made enormous strides in our mission to deliver the ultimate private aviation experience,” says president Tommy Sowers. “While others scaled back services, the years of investment we made in modernising our fleet ensured that 99 per cent of the time our customers flew on our planes. The coming year will be all about accelerating our growth as we invest in people, services and technology to deliver an even better experience for our customers.”

In 2022, flyExclusive will continue to make investments across all areas of its business while expanding its efforts to make the company a premiere destination for the best pilots and people in private aviation.
