Jettly, a digital private aviation marketplace, has launched Special Missions, a new feature set that brings helicopters, group charter, cargo, medevac and VIP airliners into the same instant-pricing, on-demand experience travellers already use for private jets.

Until now, these categories have largely been arranged offline, through slow quote cycles and relationship-driven sourcing. Special Missions puts them on Jettly's platform, where customers can search by aircraft type and mission, compare options and get pricing across a network of more than 23,000 aircraft.

“Some of the most important flights in aviation aren't a standard jet charter. They're a medical transfer, a time-critical cargo lift or a 150-person corporate move,” says Justin Crabbe, CEO and founder of Jettly. “Special Missions gives those customers the same speed and transparency we built for private jet travel, backed by aviation specialists who understand how complex these requests are.”

The Special Missions feature incorporates: helicopters – on-demand access to rotorcraft for executive transfers, regional hops, offshore and remote-site transport and specialised operations; group charter – regional jets and airliners with 18 to 200 seats, for corporate teams, events, sports teams and institutions; cargo – dedicated freighter and cargo aircraft for urgent, oversized and high-value shipments; medevac – coordination of medical transport flights, from patient repatriation to pharmaceutical and humanitarian logistics; and VIP airliners – corporate-configured airliners for delegations, high-profile events and large-scale executive travel.

A dedicated account team and 24/7 flight operations back Special Missions. Enterprise customers can also access volume pricing programmes, custom contract structures and API and travel platform integrations.

“Specialised aviation has traditionally involved a highly manual process of finding the right aircraft, identifying an operator and coordinating the operational details,” continues Crabbe. “Our objective is to make that ecosystem more accessible by bringing more of those possibilities into a digital marketplace.”

Independent, certified operators vetted through Jettly's network operate the aircraft. Jettly acts as a charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.
