How the Uber of Private Jets Is Winning Over Celebrities and CEOs
Contact us to Add Your Business
April 20 — Why fly first class when you can book your own private plane? XOJET, the private jet company backed by TPG Capital, can take you across the U.S. faster than a commercial flight and its service is on demand. The company keeps client names secret, but social media posts from Instagram and Twitter reveal a few of them, including celebrities The Rock and DJ Tiesto. Bloomberg's Ramy Inocencio takes a private tour over Manhattan with XOJET CEO Brad Stewart.

People on this thread just don’t get it. There are a few million people who are so wealthy that 30 grand one way is relative to you spending 150 bucks one way. You have no idea what its like to be that wealthy and its not nuts to them.
Unfathomable wealth…
Ari shkr if it’s nothing why don’t you go and do it I wonder how much you are going to make being and actor and more
I would succ their nuts for 150 monies.
Ari shkr it’s literally called being talented at what you do
When you are an executive out to finish a $20 Million dollar deal, a small $30,000 fee to fly across the country is nothing. If you buy a ticket with a commercial airliner and you miss your flight because the security lineup is out the door of the airport, then you just lost $20 Million dollars. That’s why this XOJET service is in such high demand.
As if the deals always get canceled if other party misses the flight for excusable reasons. Plus if you are on 20mill deal you either arrive early, or if lines are huge you manage to get passed (if you are late usually you can skip it, people understand that).
You get TSA pre check and save your company $27,000.00….unless your company owns a jet membership with a reputable company like net jets
Huge difference between Uber and XOJets: Uber doesn’t own the vehicles using the platform, while XOJET directly owns its planes.
More like “on-demand rental”, nothing new here
the dog in the commercial lowkey look like ivanka trump
i was thinking of buying a jet but it looks much easier to just rent it when ever you need it.
Uber of Jets for $30k? I’ll just jump back on my Southwest flights for $79 one way
@Allen Han that idiot is the one born in an Arab family whereby they pump oil.
if I am a billioner I do’t want in the same plane with the isis bomber
It’s 30K one way for the whole plane. So if you have 8 people flying together, it would be less than 4K per person.
Think about it, if you and your plus one both pay you’re only spending about 2,500 which is about the price of first class, except you’re actually getting first class treatment! You get to your destination QUICKLY and in luxury! ON YOUR TIME ! Not the airports time, you book it and in a few hours your planes ready for you ! At the end of the day though it comes down to
1) are you a businessman like Ian said, and you would need to be able to get to clients quickly
2) do you want to settle or do you want to live ????

That’s coast to coast….and they’re using a super mid sized jet….if you do shorter distance it will cost less of course ….I can hop on a private jet all to myself for 5000-8000 to New York City or even Chicago no problem, and it’ll only take 50 minutes ALSO I get to add a plus one!! !! compared to 6 hours and 1 stop in between as well as TSA and baggage hassle …..I’d much rather charter a private jet and get to my destination in 50 minutes than to settle and be stressed with hours of waiting
I wonder how soon hedge funds will start buying each other to the point that 5 guys own everything in the world.
+Fast Frets Thank you, well stated.
Fast Frest, very very well said! Cheers!
+kappelmeister123 Wealthy people don’t say phrases like “fucking poor white people.” But since you’re clearly a liberal, you can explain yourself as to how you liberals can claim to be compassionate towards the poor while simultaneously using poverty as an insult. Also, singling out white people is racist. And as for the hedge funders who support Trump you are completely missing the point. Hillary attacks “billionaires” while being funded by them. Anyone who thinks the Democrats care about the poor are fools. Welfare isn’t compassion for the poor, it’s how the Democrats get votes. The numbers vary by welfare program but the overwhelming majority of welfare recipients (poor people) vote Democrat. It’s a little over 50% for food stamps and over a whopping 80% for those on section 8 housing (where hard working taxpayers like myself are forced to pay for people who in most cases are more than capable of finding a way to pay their own rent).
What does eating at golden corral have anything to do with this video. And if you are so rich why are you spending time here?
Haha remember my name wait for me to do it
Buddy, the top 10% of the 1% are not worth $40 million
@Ian K. Wouldn’t the top ten percent of 1 percent be billionaires ?!
Yes they are
Archie j $10 a day isn’t even $4000/yr.
That’s no fucking 1% because if it was than 1,000,000,000+ people be on that you idiot.
You’re right. Being worth $40m is not 1%.
Number counters are laughable…So ur correct then what.. Are or have you flown on one of his jets….or a private Jet, Ever?
I guess these guys never heard of taking an interview in a sound proof room..
Such low production values from Bloomberg??
Unbelievable…
That indicates that they don’t pay attention to the details.
So much for “luxury”…
You sound like a pleasant person to have a conversation with.
Perfect transpo for drug mule. 30K per trip? Damn it’s worth it ?
Comparing this to uber is an insult to the pilots and just about everyone else in the company.
stan west if you take this like it’s d*ck.. then yes. It’s hard to swallow.
Relax boo boo. It’ll be ok.
Taxi driver and pilot …hmmm well they both driver
You are Another “Insulted” guy?? F… Moron thinking more in an Insult that in his own life
Agreed
OMG poeple its not the humans training they are comparing its the service of a flight on demand! But hey if you wanna be insulted just about anything will do these days to the sensitive little bitches behind a keyboard. I would know being a Youtube myself.
Isn’t this just the same thing as chartering which has been around forever? When it say uber, I was thinking people with their private jets were turning on their smartphones and clicking accept job and yelling to the pilot… “hey let’s land in that airport over there… there is someone we have to pick up…”
I was kinda thinking something similar. I thought it was a lbs Uber-like platform which allows high end clientele to book a ticket on a private jet last minute with this company. This doesn’t really connect with Uber much at all.
????
And here I am watching this from my 2 by 2 cubicle.
The top 10%of the 1% have their own jet.
0:27 “flashbacks intensify”
30k a trip? I can see the resemblance with Uber
1:03 wow Donatella Versace looks so young there.
Lolz
Those were her pre-botox days.
Now that is living!
I see nothing new in the business model and it’s nothing like uber.
I’ll just continue to get moved like Cattle.
