Jacquie Dalton’s online digital jet card provides transparency for private jet operators and clients

JETdebit launches its online digital jet card

From Virginia, USA, JETdebit has launched what it claims is the charter industry's first digital jet card, JETdebit.com, which connects pre-paid clients directly to operators at wholesale pricing. JETdebit clients will be able to interact with their own custo-mised profile page and receive complete trip fulfilment services with financial protections.

“Consumers want direct access to the independent operators fulfilling over 90 per cent of charter flights worldwide, while operators deserve to be paid for their services on time, at a fair rate, and without the risk of fraudulent credit card disputes,” says JETdebit founder and ceo Jacquie Dalton. “What makes JETdebit unique to the business aviation segment is that it is mutually beneficial to operators and clients, with no additional cost to either.”

JETdebit charges charter clients a flat percentage fee upon deposit of their travel funds and gives direct online access to an approved network of worldwide operators that fly for JETdebit account holders at wholesale prices. The client benefits from having real-time access and transparency to their personal account where they can monitor their balance, operator quotes, travel history, profile preferences and more. Operators gain by increasing brand exposure, direct client business and 24/7 centralised support services.

“The JETdebit programme acknowledges the significant costs an operator incurs to support a charter flight and its goal is to support the operator community by connecting them with pre-paid clients who value flying direct at wholesale pricing while still demanding higher-level services that operators are not equipped to provide,” explains Dalton. She expects to register 50 operator clients in the first year of business and build to 1,000 clients within three years.
