Amalfi Jets Partners With Keeta Blockchain, Becomes First Private Aviation Company to Accept Cryptocurrency via Keeta Wallet

Amalfi Jets, a global private aviation company, announced on August 31, 2026 a partnership with Keeta, a Layer-1 blockchain network, integrating Keeta Wallet into its flight booking process for cryptocurrency payments. The company said this makes it the first private aviation company to accept payments through the Keeta Wallet.

The integration embeds blockchain-powered payments directly into the booking flow, which Amalfi Jets said enables faster cross-border transactions and reduces friction associated with traditional banking systems. The company said the change is aimed at giving greater flexibility to international and digitally oriented clients.

"Private aviation has always been about convenience, access, and efficiency, and payments are evolving the same way," said Kolin Jones, Founder and CEO of Amalfi Jets. "Integrating Keeta Wallet, and being the first private aviation company to do so, allows us to take that experience a step further with faster, more seamless global transactions." Amalfi Jets was founded by commercial pilot Kolin Jones and philanthropist and financier Calvin Yoon, and offers jet card and on-demand charter services with a 24/7 operations team managing charter solutions for individuals, families, and businesses worldwide.

This is a payments-layer experiment layered onto an existing charter and jet card business, not a change to how flights are booked, priced or operated. Charter operators have historically competed on aircraft access, membership terms and service, with payment methods treated as back-office plumbing; a crypto wallet integration reframes that plumbing as a client-facing differentiator aimed specifically at internationally mobile, digitally oriented buyers who may otherwise face slower cross-border bank transfers.

Whether this becomes a meaningful shift for the segment depends on adoption that the announcement itself does not show: how many bookings actually settle through Keeta Wallet, whether other jet card or charter providers follow with their own blockchain integrations, and whether clients accustomed to wire transfers or card payments choose to use it. The next signal worth watching is whether Amalfi Jets or Keeta disclose transaction volume or client uptake, since a first-mover claim only becomes an industry pattern once a second and third operator adopt the same rail.
