Our story

Your Trusted Partner in Private Travel

From the start, we set our sights on more than the flying. Making a conscious effort to perfect every part of the flight experience, not just the part in the air. That thinking started with our visionary and Founder, Jim Segrave, who is an experienced aviator himself. He pioneered the one-way, floating feet model in private aviation — the idea that trips are priced point to point, not round trip. A simple premise that you only pay for what you fly — the idea that we’ve built our programs around.

Our commitment

We curate private jet travel experiences that meet your needs and serve you. The flyExclusive team knows you by name, proactively handles all communications from fleet-to-flight, and makes your safety top priority. We’re built on relationships.
