JetSmarter attracts controversy—and customers

Skeptics (and recent lawsuits) continue to raise questions about the company, but its successes to date underscore the viability of per-seat charter.

"We've found that many of our members fly private jets on short-haul trips around the U.S. However, those same customers tend to utilize commercial airlines and the first-class cabin when they head overseas. JetSmarter is a great match for The Private Suite. Its members are searching for ultimate ease and seamless logistics, and we've been able to accomplish that at one of the nation's busiest airports," said Joshua Gausman, cofounder of The Private Suite.

Members of The Private Suite pay an annual fee of $4,500, and each member is assigned  a team of eight people. Amenities include the ability to preorder complimentary meals, complimentary valet and car detailing, spa services, access to a concierge doctor on call, and other services. The Private Suite is owned and operated by Gavin de Becker & Associates.
