Company with private jet trips starting at $102: The ‘Uber of flying’

KinectAir, an on-demand private air travel company, is now booking budget-friendly private planes.

“KinectAir is ‘Opening the Skies’ by making private flight available to a larger demographic,” KinectAir co-CEO Katie Buss said in a statement. “One way KinectAir does this is by utilizing fuel-efficient aircraft types. The reduced cost of fuel not only means a cost savings for the passenger, but also means a greener flight.”

The company is making use of its “empty-leg flights” as an opportunity to provide bargains to potential passengers. An empty-leg flight occurs when a private jet is chartered to a specific location and has no passengers for its return flight back to its home base.

KinectAir’s mobile app is similar to Uber in providing its availability of planes to book on demand.

“Like Uber, we have an easy-to-use app and prices are displayed up front – clear, easy, transparent. We applaud Uber’s efforts in transforming the way people think about personal mobility,” the CEO said.

Buss added, “We want to do the same thing, but in that 50-500 mile sweet spot, flying direct from the local airport down the street means more comfort, more personalization, more joy, and perhaps most importantly, more time with the ones you love.”
