OUR STORY
A legacy built on innovation, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to redefining private aviation. 25 years of private aviation excellence.
THE BEGINNING
Jet Linx was founded in 1999 with a simple but powerful vision: to transform private aviation by making it accessible, transparent, and extraordinary.
Our founders recognized a fundamental problem in the industry – opaque pricing, hidden fees, and a lack of genuine customer focus. They set out to create something different, something better.
What started as a single aircraft and a dream has grown into one of North America’s most trusted private aviation companies, serving thousands of discerning travelers who demand excellence.
