17 April 2023

Private Jet App

Using a private jet app saved us $3,000

24 January 2023

A private jet app in Australia?

You read correctly, back in 2018 Airly was the first Australian private jet business to launch a dedicated private jet app. The idea was streamline and simplify the reservation process while easily displaying trip itineraries.

Over the years we continued to add or adjust as our business developed. And our app has even more incredible updates in the works.

By simply booking a private jet via the Airly app customers recently saved just under $3,000 on a Sydney to Gold Coast flight.

Private Jet App

We provide these market-leading rates without the need to sign up to a membership, or pay an annual fee.

These rates are available to anyone using the app.

But why are others more expensive?

At Airly we do things a little differently.

Due to our expansive network of customers along the East Coast we are able to be more efficient. By ‘threading’ flights together we can save money on empty flying and pass those savings onto the consumer.

Our vision was, is, and always will be private aviation made simple, accessible and more cost-effective.

By launching our now at-capacity and invite only card program, we tested a theory around affordability. That is if we could make flying private a little more within reach, would more people use us?

After 18 months of the card program’s operation, the answer to that theory has been a resounding yes, just take a look at our private jet card year in review article.

The airlines let George down, so he did something about it

6 December 2022

Time after time, George was being let down.

If you’re a busy individual like George, running multiple businesses, travelling frequently with a young family at home, his story would be familiar.

George frequently travels between Melbourne and Sydney for his businesses, avoiding overnights so he could spend more time at home with his family.

This entailed a carefully planned day trip – and required his commercial flights to run on time (or close enough to).

But year after year, declining on time performance and growing cancellation rates let him down. His Platinum status providing little value with the airline duopoly.

Then came the final straw, having his day in Sydney planned to the minute, all meetings ticked off and en route to the airport, his flight was cancelled and subsequently rebooked the following day.

This was George’s ‘ah ha’ moment.

He knew of private aviation already, chartering once or twice a year as well as booking empty legs.

But while in his hotel room in Sydney he came across Access by Airly.

A product where he could trust us to get him where he needed to be, when he needed to be there.

Not just that, providing this service for a fixed price enabling him to budget annual travel expenses.

This sole decision put George back in control of his day, gifting him more time and the certainty that he would be home in time for dinner with his young family.

Access by Airly achieves 500 hour milestone

10 October 2022

Over seven months, between launching Access by Airly in June 2021 to January 2022, the program clocked 50 hours flown or booked by card holders on the Citation Mustang 510 aircraft.

Between January and March 2022 a further 50 hours were clocked, bringing the total hours flown to 100.

In the seven months between March and September 2022 a phenomenal 450 hours have been flown by Access by Airly card holders.

Thank you to our travellers and card holders for their trust and belief.
