Overview
flyExclusive is a Kinston, North Carolina-based private jet operator (NYSE: FLYX) that owns and operates a fleet of approximately 100 aircraft. The company holds one of the largest fleets of Cessna Citation jets in the world, supplemented by Challenger 300 and 350 aircraft introduced as a premium super-midsize tier. The Jet Club membership program launched in May 2020 and was substantially revised in March 2025.
The 2025 revision consolidated the program to a single deposit tier starting at $100,000 (non-refundable). Deposits over the $100,000 minimum earn a 10% flight credit on the excess amount.

Guaranteed availability applies with no blackout dates. Safety certifications include ARGUS Platinum Elite, WYVERN Wingman PRO, and IS-BAO Stage 3.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the flyExclusive Jet Club?
The flyExclusive Jet Club is a fixed-deposit membership program from flyExclusive, a publicly traded private jet operator (NYSE: FLYX) based in Kinston, North Carolina. Members deposit a minimum of $100,000 and draw down the balance at fixed hourly rates across four cabin categories. The program was launched in May 2020 and revised in March 2025.
How much does flyExclusive Jet Club cost?
The minimum deposit is $100,000 (non-refundable). Hourly rates by category: light jets at $4,000/hr, midsize at $3,800/hr, standard super-midsize at $5,200/hr. A daily access fee is charged per trip in addition to the hourly rate: $7,500 for light and midsize, $11,350 for standard super-midsize. FET (7.5%) is billed separately. Deposits over $100,000 earn a 10% flight credit on the excess.
Does flyExclusive include fuel surcharges?
No fuel surcharges are applied on Jet Club flights. The hourly rates are fixed and do not include a separate fuel line item. FET (7.5%) is charged separately at the time of booking.
Is the flyExclusive Jet Club deposit refundable?
No. The $100,000 minimum deposit is non-refundable. Unused balance rolls over within the 24-month contract term, but funds cannot be returned if you decide to exit the program.
What aircraft does flyExclusive use?
flyExclusive owns and operates approximately 100 aircraft and holds one of the largest fleets of Cessna Citation jets in the world. Light and midsize tiers use Citation aircraft. The standard super-midsize tier includes the Citation Sovereign and Citation X. The Premium Super-Mid tier features the Bombardier Challenger 300 and Challenger 350. flyExclusive does not use third-party brokered aircraft for Jet Club flights.
What safety certifications does flyExclusive hold?
flyExclusive holds ARGUS Platinum Elite (the highest ARGUS tier), WYVERN Wingman PRO, and IS-BAO Stage 3 Registration. All three are audited safety programs that evaluate operations, crew training, and maintenance standards. ARGUS Platinum Elite is held by fewer than 1% of charter operators.
Does flyExclusive serve international routes?
Yes. The primary service area covers the continental US plus Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America. Alaska and Hawaii are excluded from Jet Club rates and require a separate charter quote. Transatlantic and other long-haul international routes fall outside the standard Jet Club program.
How does flyExclusive compare to broker jet cards?
flyExclusive owns its entire fleet and employs its own crews. Broker programs like Sentient Jet or Magellan Jets arrange flights through third-party operators, meaning the aircraft and crew can vary by trip. flyExclusive's owned-fleet model provides consistent aircraft, crew, and service standards. The tradeoff is a higher minimum deposit ($100,000 vs. 25 hours from around $150,000+ all-in) and the daily access fee structure.
