Jetsetter

What Jetsetter does

Jetsetter is a privately held Israeli business aviation services firm founded in 2012, headquartered in Bnei Brak, Israel, with a secondary office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company specializes in the acquisition, sale, and management of business and corporate jets, serving high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients who require end-to-end support for private aviation ownership. Its service portfolio spans aircraft acquisition for new and pre-owned jets, operation oversight management, asset management, consultation on ownership structure and nationality, pilot and crew recruitment, and legal services for transaction and regulatory compliance.

The company's most strategically significant product line is its role as the exclusive authorized distributor of Airbus Helicopters (AH and ACH) in Israel, covering the H125/ACH125, H130/ACH130, H135/ACH135, and H145/ACH145 rotorcraft models, alongside brokerage of new and pre-owned helicopters of all makes and models. Revenue is generated through a mix of professional service fees on acquisition transactions, hardware sales margins on helicopter distribution, recurring fees from asset and operations management contracts, and ancillary fees from crew hiring and legal advisory work. Pricing is fully bespoke per transaction given the high-value nature of the deals, and the company discloses no standard pricing tiers or public financials.

Jetsetter's go-to-market is high-touch enterprise field sales with direct involvement from the CEO and senior leadership, targeting a narrow pool of HNW and corporate buyers. The company has built substantial brand presence in the Israeli and regional business aviation market through its annual TLV Business Aviation Conference (TLV BAC), running almost every year since 2016 and drawing global industry leaders including Gulfstream, Bombardier, Textron, Dassault, IAI, JSSI, Jetcraft, NetJets, FlexJet, and EBAA. The 2024 edition was postponed due to the situation in Israel. The company operates with a reported 1-10 employee headcount and is led by Founder and Chairman Gal Peleg, with Ron Hoffman appointed as CEO in April 2023 and Eran Duvdevani as COO.
