US private aviation company flyExclusive has launched Jet Club 2026, a redesigned version of its flagship membership programme, built to benefit members, deliver simpler pricing, greater flexibility and more predictable costs for members.
The new programme removes structural complexity across pricing and membership terms, while introducing a long-term model designed around how customers actually use private aviation and rewarding members for longer flights.
“This is a cleaner, more durable version of Jet Club,” says Jim Segrave, founder, chairman and CEO of flyExclusive. “We've simplified the programme, removed friction and built something that is easier for our members to use and stay with over time.”
Jet Club 2026 launches at a time when fuel prices have increased sharply across the aviation industry, driving surcharges and pricing changes in many fractional and jet card programmes and ad hoc charter.
Against that backdrop, the Jet Club 2026 introduces all-in pricing with no fuel surcharge, and locks in member flying rates for 24 months from the time of deposit. This structure provides members with a predictable cost framework regardless of short-term movements in fuel markets.
“Our members are seeing volatility everywhere,” adds Segrave. “We made a decision to not pass that through. With Jet Club 2026, what you see is what you pay.”
Jet Club 2026 has a consistent pricing structure built around a daily and hourly rate. Key features include: no monthly membership fee; evergreen membership; no taxi time billing; Federal Excise Tax included in all quoted rates; and no late-night or regional surcharges.
The result is fewer line items, clearer expectations at booking and a programme that is materially easier to use.
Jet Club 2026 retains flyExclusive's daily plus hourly pricing model, which becomes more efficient and rewards members who fly longer trips or multiple legs within a single day. It delivers improved economics on shorter and mid-range flights, reflecting changing travel patterns toward higher-frequency trips.
Two membership tiers, namely Jet Club and Jet Club Plus, provide flexibility based on travel needs, with higher-tier members receiving guaranteed access during peak periods.
All flights are delivered through flyExclusive's vertically integrated operating platform or approved partner operators, maintaining consistent service and safety standards.
