flyExclusive, a North Carolina-based provider of premium private jet charter experiences based in Kinston, operated the most flights in its history during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The company recorded a 47 per cent increase in hours flown compared to the previous year and reached its highest one-day revenue total in nine years.

It recently took delivery of three Challenger 350 aircraft and expects its additions to accelerate in 2025.

“As we've grown the business, we've been disciplined and strategic every step of the way, and we’re seeing the results of that with strong customer demand combined with efficient fleet utilisation,” says Jim Segrave, founder and CEO of flyExclusive. “Being vertically integrated allows us to control every aspect of the customer experience and that has led to strong, stable demand in our Jet Club and fractional programmes that we expect to continue through the holiday season and into 2025. As we continue to add new, high performance aircraft to our fleet and offer customers a consistently superior experience, we’ll continue to take market share and further scale the business.”

flyExclusive says it has become one of the fastest-growing private aviation companies in the past year, driven by strong demand and an enhanced fleet. In September, an aircraft management services agreement with the Volato Group added nearly 200 Volato members to its Jet Club while increasing its fractional customer base.
