JetLeg Case Study

Digital Marketplace for
Luxury flights

Client Overview

JetLeg creates a structured marketplace for empty leg flights and takes certain percentage of booking fee for every flight booked.

JetLeg is the booking source which links the requirements of brokers/operators and travelers to provide them with a platform where travelers pay the booking fee directly to JetLeg. It reimburses the brokers or operators the balance post booking charges.

Project Goal

Create a marketplace for thousands of underutilized private flights. The problems to be addressed are:

30%-50% of private jet charters often fly empty. Fuel and other operating costs for an empty leg flight are sunk costs for operators.

Currently no other company provides brokers and operators a platform to find a market for their empty leg flights.

Currently no other company provides travelers a platform to search available empty leg flights.
