Jettly Launches Category-Based Jet Card With $50,000 Entry Price
Why It MattersFixed-rate jet card programs are broadening entry points and fee structures to compete for buyers who previously chose between hourly charter and traditional card commitments.
What happened
Jettly has introduced category-based pricing within its fixed-rate jet card program, set at a $50,000 deposit for entry. Members at that level gain access to charter flights at fixed rates across more than 100 aircraft types, spanning turboprops through ultra-long-range private jets.
The new structure organizes aircraft into five categories: turboprops, light, midsize, super-midsize, and large-cabin aircraft. This replaces or adds to a prior structure in which the program offered only 10-hour and 25-hour options. Jettly is also waiving its one-time enrollment fee of $12,997 for members who deposit $100,000 or more.
Industry impact & what to watch
Category-based pricing on a fixed-rate card is a structural shift for jet card providers: instead of locking buyers into a set number of hours, it lets access scale with aircraft size and deposit level, widening the pool of buyers who can enter at a lower dollar threshold while still reaching large-cabin aircraft.
Fixed-rate card programs compete on predictability of cost per flight hour versus the more variable pricing of on-demand charter, and the enrollment-fee waiver tied to a higher deposit is a common lever providers use to push members toward larger upfront commitments. Whether the $50,000 entry tier proves durable will depend on how usage plays out across the five categories and whether Jettly adjusts rates or category definitions as members book flights against the program.
