What iJet Aviation does

iJet Aviation (legally IJET AVIATION FLY SL) is a Málaga, Spain-based private jet charter operator and broker founded around 2015 as part of Scanfert Group, with its operational hub at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) supported by the Atlas AGP ground handling partnership. The company sells on-demand access to a diversified fleet spanning entry-level light jets (Citation Mustang, CJ1, CJ2+, CJ3), a midsize/large-cabin Challenger 604, and a long-range Falcon 2000, with multiple Citation Mustangs for availability. Beyond core charter, iJet monetises an Empty Leg marketplace offering 30-75% discounted repositioning flights, Aircraft Management services for third-party owners, dedicated MEDEVAC capability, and a '360-degree' luxury concierge layer covering yacht, villa, ground transport, and gourmet experiences.

Revenue is generated transactionally (per-leg charter fees and service coordination/partner commissions) with quote-based, non-public pricing. Distribution is sales-led: a 24/7 charter team routes inbound from a request-quote web form, phone, and WhatsApp channels, while organic social, blog content, and the Ikaros exclusive lifestyle magazine (powered by affiliated Ikaros Media) drive top-of-funnel demand. The customer base is concentrated in three segments — Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals, Business Executives and Corporate Clients, and broader Luxury Lifestyle Travelers — served across Europe, the Middle East, and selectively in the Americas, with the Marbella/Costa del Sol corridor as the anchor destination.

Strategically, iJet is building a multi-revenue, ecosystem-defended niche operator: expanding its own fleet (e.g., Citation CJ2+ added in February 2025), cultivating 50+ luxury brand partnerships (Bulgari, Christie's, Bentley, Dani Garcia, La Zagaleta, Puente Romano, Engel & Völkers, Ventura Yachts, Telmont), investing in event marketing (hosted Bentley's Spain & Portugal Bentayga Speed launch), and exploring adjacent future air mobility via Crisalion Mobility. The company operates without disclosed external institutional funding, employs 11-50 people, and is led by CEO Javier Barriga with COO Guillermo Gallego, CFO Mirella García, and CHRO Bárbara Lorenzo.

Broad incumbents

• NetJets: Largest fractional jet ownership and charter operator globally with a fleet of 700+ aircraft. Comparable as a private aviation provider serving UHNWIs and corporate clients, though at vastly greater scale and breadth.
• VistaJet: Global business jet operator focused on subscription and on-demand charter for HNWI and corporate clients. Closely comparable business model — fleet-based, on-demand charter — but with global scale, branded fleet and dedicated programs iJet cannot match.
• Flexjet: Fractional jet ownership and lease provider with European operations serving private flyers. Comparable customer profile (UHNWIs, executives) and service model, but operates at materially larger scale with proprietary branded fleet.
• Jet Aviation: Swiss-headquartered global business jet operator with charter, management, FBO and MRO services. Comparable as a charter operator serving UHNWIs and corporate clients; broader portfolio across MRO and FBOs exceeds iJet's scope.
• Wheels Up: US-based private aviation company offering membership-based and on-demand charter. Comparable target segment and on-demand model; operates at much larger scale with proprietary fleet and technology platform.

Direct peers

• LunaJets: Geneva-based private jet charter broker with a strong European on-demand charter book and empty leg marketplace. Most directly comparable peer — similar on-demand model, European base, empty leg focus, and UHNI/corporate targeting.
• PrivateFly: European-headquartered private jet booking platform with instant online quoting and an empty leg marketplace. Highly comparable in tech-enabled booking model, range of aircraft categories and UHNWI/corporate focus.
• Air Partner: Long-standing UK-based global charter broker offering private jet, group charter and freight services. Comparable as a sales-led, broker-style charter company with global operator network and luxury/corporate clientele.
• Chapman Freeborn: Global aircraft charter broker with strong European presence serving corporate, group and VIP clients. Comparable broker-style model using third-party aircraft, UHNWI/government clientele and group charter capabilities.
• JetSuite: Charter and jet card operator focused on light and midsize jets with a tech-forward booking experience. Comparable on-demand charter model, fleet categories and customer profile, though primarily North American.
