What Jet Linx does

Jet Linx Aviation, LLC is a US private aviation company founded in 1999 in Omaha, Nebraska, operating a hybrid Jet Card Membership and Aircraft Management model from 22 private terminal locations nationwide. Its core products are Jet Card Memberships — prepaid flight-hour deposits at guaranteed hourly rates with personalized local service — and full-service Aircraft Management, which adds managed aircraft (approximately 100+ in fleet) to a nationwide revenue pool serving both local and national card clients. Complementary offerings include MemberSeat Exchange (an exclusive in-network seat-sharing program), Joint Ownership, the newly launched Owner Aircraft Exchange (supplemental lift at Direct Operating Cost rates during maintenance events), Aircraft Marketplace listings, and Consulting services. Technology is built around a mobile booking app, a client portal, and the recently integrated Veryon Tracking and Defect Analysis platform that uses AI to centralize maintenance and identify recurring issues across the managed fleet. Revenue is generated through subscription-style Jet Card deposits, managed services fees on ~100 aircraft, joint ownership arrangements, transaction fees on aircraft sales, and consulting engagements, with the customer base split between high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, aircraft owners, and — increasingly — sports and entertainment-driven travel demand. The company is led by CEO Jamie Walker, employs 500+ aviation professionals, and differentiates through triple third-party safety certifications (ARGUS Platinum Elite, WYVERN Wingman PRO, IS-BAO Stage 3), 27 years of accident-free operations, and a local-team service model that is unusual in a national network operator.
