ACE 2026 - The home of global charter.
The bimonthly news publication for aviation professionals.
FlyHouse, a US Part 135 operator, is launching FriendShare, which it says is a first-of-its-kind technology that enables a charter client to create their own travel communities and use a payment option that makes chartering a private jet more accessible. FriendShare is about building communities, strengthening bonds and creating memories with friends, family and colleagues.
Through FriendShare, available on an app, anyone on the FlyHouse platform can create their own travel groups, invite others to join and organise a private charter in less than 30 seconds, all while sharing the cost of a trip with a group. Without the need of brokers or waiting, charterers simply scan, download and book to begin a group journey that’s about more than the destination.
FriendShare aims to make private jet travel feel as natural as planning a trip with friends or family through private or open groups.
Private groups can invite friends, family or colleagues to join your charter. If a friend isn’t yet on the FlyHouse platform, they receive an email to join and simply create a profile. The app then takes care of the logistics, so you can focus on the experience.
Public groups can share trips with the wider FlyHouse community. Other users can browse, join and become part of the journey. FlyHouse also creates public groups that allow anyone on the platform to browse and join.
“This isn’t about selling seats; it’s about creating accessible, shared experiences. Whether it’s a ‘Golf Weekend Group’, ‘New York to Miami Adventure’ or ‘F1 Race Getaway', FriendShare allows travellers to organise trips around passions and milestones, turning flights into memories that last a lifetime and keep the payment seamless and transparent among the group,” comments Jack E. Lambert, CEO of FlyHouse. “With FriendShare, FlyHouse is redefining private aviation as a way to connect people. We’re bringing clarity, community and flexibility to an industry that has often felt impersonal. This is shared luxury, reimagined; not about the transaction, but about the memories made along the way.”
Private aviation has long been seen as exclusive and distant. But FlyHouse flips the traditional aviation model on its head. Instead of focusing on exclusivity, FlyHouse thrives on community by connecting travellers directly with aircraft owners and operators through one seamless app. The more travellers who use the platform, the richer the network becomes, bringing together aircraft owners, operators and passengers in a dynamic ecosystem that fosters connection and shared experiences.
FlyHouse has built the industry’s first real-time marketplace that unites owners, operators and traveller in one frictionless platform. With the FlyHouse app, users can compare aircraft types instantly, review quotes in real time and book directly in as little as 30 seconds.
FlyHouse delivers private aviation without barriers: fast, transparent and designed for people who value experiences over transactions.
