{:en} Distance from Denver, Colorado to Bar Harbor, Maine at 1,662 nautical miles covered in 3 hours 59 minutes
Jet It owner and Red Jet Squadron pilot John Halpern of New York, along with Jet It co-pilot and CEO Glenn Gonzalez, set a new speed record in a HondaJet Elite. They covered the distance from Denver (Colorado) to Bar Harbor (Maine) in 1662 nautical miles in 3 hours 59 minutes.
In 2018, two former Honda Aircraft sales executives – Glenn Gonzales and Vishal Hiremath – founded Jet It to bridge the gap between private charter flights and the incredibly expensive private airline service.
The services offered by aviators' Jet It are attracting an untapped segment of the market, keeping demand high. Jet It has seen phenomenal growth in its first full calendar year. Jet It is the largest HondaJet operator in North America and plans to expand its fleet to double digits by the end of the year. The company began operations in 2018 with only 3 employees, including two founders; now its number has already exceeded 50 people.
Now co-founders Gonzalez and Hyermat are on the path to expanding their international activities with the creation of JetClub. With the delivery of the first HondaJet to JetClub, their newest hybrid model arrives this week in Europe and Asia. In addition to introducing the new private jet service JetClub, Jet It owners who fly internationally will have access to regular service channels in Europe and Asia. JetClub members flying to North America will have the same access, with the option of using private jets. The ultimate goal is to create two turnkey service companies.
JetClub serves clients in Southeast Asia and India by providing private transportation services as club members and offering a hybrid aircraft co-ownership service to clients in Europe. JetClub will provide individuals and businesses, at affordable prices, with the ability to move between home and work within their regions, with access to worldwide aircraft when traveling to other regions. By mid-2021, JetClub plans to operate throughout Southeast Asia and Europe.
“With the success and acceptance of Jet It in North America, we thought we could become one of the world's leading providers of affordable private travel, and the creation of JetClub is another step towards that goal,” says Hyermat.
Mr. Gonzalez adds: “We are looking to replicate the success of Jet It in Europe and Asia, delivering the same high level of customer experience that has made us known. Club members / owners can contact our international concierge service and we will take care of the transportation they need while traveling in these regions. In some countries that do not have business aviation ground infrastructure or private terminals, we will provide our existing ground VIP services that enable our passengers to pass through passport control points and airport terminals. ”
