FlyWith Introduces a Social Approach to Luxury Private Jet Travel for The 1%
Private aviation has long promised freedom, privacy and travel shaped entirely around the individual. Now a new digital platform adds something unexpected to that promise: company.
FlyWith is an invitation-only private aviation membership platform launching in October 2026. It lets members plan journeys with friends, professional contacts and fellow members, sharing both seats and flight costs aboard premium aircraft.
For Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, this opens a new way to weave aviation into a life that is already deeply connected. A flight might carry friends to an international event, gather a family for a quiet escape, or bring together members of a trusted private community bound for the same horizon.
FlyWith unites private aviation, technology and curated membership in one digital space. It reflects what The 1% now expects from luxury: personal attention, effortless convenience and experiences that carry real meaning.
Turning Luxury Private Jet Travel Into a Shared Experience
FlyWith grew from a pattern anyone in private aviation will recognize. Friends, colleagues and acquaintances often fly separately to the same place, whether for an event, a wedding, a conference, a holiday or a seasonal gathering.
The platform brings those journeys into view before anyone departs. Members share upcoming plans within a private network, then coordinate flights with others traveling along compatible routes.
FlyWith frames this idea around serendipity. Members can see where people in their circle are heading and arrange to travel together, turning a chance overlap into a shared journey.
According to FlyWith, about 40 percent of private flyers say they are interested in sharing private flights. That signals a real appetite for a model that pairs the exclusivity of private aviation with a thoughtfully curated social experience.
For The 1%, the cabin can become an extension of the private club, the family table or the professional circle, suspended for a few graceful hours above the clouds.
Three Ways to Access a Private Flight
FlyWith shapes its membership around three ways to organize travel: Host, Join and Propose.
Host
A member arranges a private aircraft and decides how seats are offered within the FlyWith community. Seats can go to friends, mutual connections or the wider membership, based entirely on the host’s wishes.
Hosts also choose how many seats to keep and how many to open up. The platform calculates the contribution for each available seat, while the host remains free to personalize the arrangement.
Join
Members can browse flights already created by others and join journeys that match their own plans.
Propose
Members can suggest a potential itinerary to the community and gauge interest before the aircraft is arranged.
Together, these three options form a digital framework where private jet travel follows the natural lines of existing relationships and shared destinations.
FlyWith Partners With Executive Jet Management
Access to the right aircraft sits at the heart of the FlyWith model. To serve its members, the company has partnered with Executive Jet Management, part of the NetJets ecosystem.
The partnership opens access to super midsize and large cabin aircraft, many configured for roughly eight to ten passengers.
These aircraft suit the FlyWith concept beautifully. Their cabins offer room for a group to travel together while preserving the privacy, comfort and attentive service that define premium private aviation.
FlyWith is also designed to sit alongside the ways UHNW individuals already fly. A member might own a jet, hold a fractional interest, use a Jet Card program or rely on charter, then turn to FlyWith for journeys where traveling with a chosen group adds something special.
This flexibility mirrors the increasingly varied shape of the luxury private jet industry.
The 1% Is Becoming an Increasingly Mobile Global Community
FlyWith arrives at a time of remarkable growth in global private wealth.
By mid-2025, the worldwide Ultra High Net Worth population had passed 510,000 individuals, holding combined wealth of nearly $60 trillion. Current forecasts suggest this population could grow by more than one third by 2030.
The travel needs of this community are considerable. Entrepreneurs, investors, executives and globally connected families often keep businesses, homes and passions spread across several destinations.
Private aviation fits naturally into this life, letting journeys follow personal schedules rather than published timetables.
FlyWith adds a social layer to that movement. The same people who meet in private clubs, luxury resorts, residential communities, sporting events and cultural gatherings can now coordinate their travel through a dedicated aviation network.
Private Jet Activity Creates a Significant Opportunity
The scale of the global private aviation market gives the FlyWith concept its context.
About 3.88 million private jet flights took place worldwide in 2025, reflecting annual growth of around 4.6 percent. The global business jet fleet numbers roughly 22,000 to 23,000 aircraft, forming a vast web of activity across major cities and leisure destinations.
Private charter is another major part of this economy. The sector was valued at about $17.4 billion in 2025, with forecasts placing it near $33.38 billion by 2030.
Every one of those flights holds a cabin with a limited number of seats. FlyWith offers a digital way to connect those seats with members who share compatible destinations and social circles.
For The 1%, empty capacity becomes something richer: a chance for shared experiences and lasting connections.
An Invitation-Only Community Built Around Existing Luxury Networks
Membership is central to everything FlyWith offers.
The company is building its community through relationships with respected private clubs and luxury lifestyle organizations. Partners include Discovery Land Company, Zero Bond and Crane Club, each bringing communities whose members already enjoy premium travel, hospitality and social experiences.
This approach places FlyWith among people who understand and value membership-based luxury.
Private clubs have always offered spaces where like-minded individuals can meet, mingle and build relationships. FlyWith carries that same philosophy into the sky, creating a digital community shaped around travel.
Members control how their profile appears and whether it is visible only to friends or to the wider membership.
For The 1%, this curated design brings the quiet discretion of a private members club into the private jet cabin.
Technology Simplifies the Private Aviation Experience
FlyWith has built its app around a simple, intuitive booking experience.
Members select departure dates, airports, destinations and preferred flight times directly in the platform. Instant pricing and aircraft availability are available in the app, making it easy to shape a journey in moments.
This reflects a wider shift across luxury services.
UHNW clients now engage with refined technology throughout their lives, from wealth management and private banking to hospitality, concierge services and transportation. Private aviation is joining that same digital world.
For the luxury private jet industry, technology offers a way to make complex aviation logistics feel effortless from the passenger’s seat.
Private Aviation Meets the Social Economy
FlyWith was created by Guy Oseary, cofounder of venture capital firm Sound Ventures, with Brian Corbett serving as chief executive. Corbett brings deep experience in luxury hospitality and private aviation, including leadership roles connected to Inspirato, Exclusive Resorts and Ross Aviation.
That blend of hospitality, technology and aviation expertise shapes the platform’s vision.
Luxury travel has always created moments of connection, in hotel lobbies, resort terraces, private clubs, yacht decks and exclusive events. FlyWith extends that tradition into the aircraft cabin.
A group heading to Art Basel, Formula 1, a wedding, a ski retreat or a private island can arrange the journey together before departure. Colleagues bound for the same conference can turn time in the air into time for conversation and meaningful networking.
The private jet becomes more than a way to arrive. It becomes a curated social setting, where the journey itself is part of the occasion.
From North America to a Global Private Aviation Network
FlyWith began testing its platform with members in August 2026, completing its first test flights in September. The official launch takes place in October, starting with operations across North America.
International expansion is part of the company’s future plans, raising the prospect of a wider network linking the world’s great centers of wealth and its most coveted destinations.
The possible map is striking. Miami, New York, Los Angeles and other North American markets already anchor global private aviation. Meanwhile, London, Paris, Geneva, Dubai, Monaco and the Mediterranean draw significant numbers of UHNW travelers.
In time, an international FlyWith network could connect these places through a blend of private aviation and curated membership.
Luxury Private Jet Travel Becomes Increasingly Connected
FlyWith shows how private aviation continues to evolve beyond the simple relationship between passenger and aircraft.
Ownership, fractional programs, Jet Cards and charter already give The 1% several ways to fly privately. Digital membership platforms add a new dimension, connecting travelers by destination, timing and personal network.
With more than 510,000 Ultra High Net Worth Individuals worldwide, close to $60 trillion in UHNW wealth and roughly 3.88 million private jet flights each year, the foundation for continued innovation in private aviation remains strong.
For The 1%, the private jet experience now embraces the entire journey and the community around it. FlyWith offers a model where technology brings friends, colleagues and members together before departure, shaping private aviation around movement, relationships and moments worth sharing.
As private travel grows ever more intertwined with digital platforms and curated communities, the next chapter of the luxury private jet lifestyle may be defined as much by who sits beside you as by where you land.
