Sentient Jet prepares for auto text-to-book breakthrough
Sentient's smart electronic service team will guide auto text-to-book users through a series of simple prompts, collect their trip information and present quote options. Confirmation takes less than 30 seconds.
President and CEO Andrew Collins.

Jet card company Sentient Jet is launching an automated text-to-book that aims to simplify the digital transaction process. From summer 2022, card owners will have quoting and booking capabilities via text, alleviating the need for human contact entirely; auto text-to-book allows card owners access to a smart and secure electronic service team where they can book travel to and from anywhere in the world from the messaging application on their smartphone. With user-authenticated, automated, artificial intelligence-like interaction, internal and external users can quote and book a flight in less than 60 seconds thanks to instant pricing and clear, AI-prompted navigation. This automation removes significant downtime from the booking process. It's also a significant bridge to Sentient Jet's proprietary workflow and booking systems.

“We're big believers in the future of text-based commerce and are working to pave the way to introduce more AI-like interactions into the travel industry," says president and CEO Andrew Collins. "This new way of booking is a real innovation in an already incredibly dynamic and complex market. Sentient Jet is streamlining the process in such a way that it puts the control in the users' hands. We are thrilled to be at the forefront of a new chapter in the history of private aviation technology."

This latest innovation helps to facilitate and ease the complex private aviation navigation process and organically integrates into jet card owners' day-to-day routines without the need for additional installs.

As evidenced by the company's mobile bookings, Sentient Jet card owners have already embraced digital transactions. Since its launch, its recently updated mobile application has booked nearly $300 million in total flights and, in addition, there continue to be unique paths to upgrades and various automated service layers that align seamlessly with the service interactions of the company's senior client management teams.
