XO
About
XO is a private aviation company that provides on-demand jet charter, membership programs, and individual seats on shared private flights through its digital platform and mobile app. The brand was formed in 2019 through the combination of XOJET, a US charter operator founded in 2006, and the JetSmarter booking platform, and is part of Vista, the global business aviation group founded by Thomas Flohr that also owns VistaJet.
XO's model combines traditional charter with technology-driven booking. Clients can charter entire aircraft, from turboprops to ultra-long-range jets, or book individual seats on scheduled and crowdsourced private flights on popular routes such as New York to Florida. Pricing is available on a pay-as-you-go basis, with deposit memberships offering fixed rates and guaranteed availability.
Through the Vista group, XO provides access to a fleet of group-owned aircraft, including Bombardier Challenger and Global series jets, plus a vetted alliance network of more than 2,000 additional aircraft worldwide. The platform serves North America, Europe, the Middle East, and other regions.
XO operates its member services from the United States, with its main office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Flights are operated by licensed air carriers within the Vista group and approved partner operators.

4.2/5
XO's real innovation is bringing genuine flexibility to a sector that has historically forced buyers into rigid, high-commitment fractional or jet-card programs. Combining traditional whole-aircraft charter with individual-seat booking on shared routes, plus a deposit-based membership option, gives XO a spread of price points and commitment levels that appeals to a broader range of flyers than most private aviation brands attempt to serve. Being part of the Vista group, alongside VistaJet, gives XO real operational backing: access to a substantial group-owned fleet of Challenger and Global series jets plus a vetted network exceeding 2,000 additional aircraft addresses one of the sector's persistent weaknesses, inconsistent aircraft and service quality across smaller charter brokers. The origin as a merger of XOJET and the JetSmarter booking platform shows in the product's tech-forward, app-based booking experience, a meaningful convenience advantage over more traditional phone-and-broker charter arrangements. Pay-as-you-go pricing on popular routes is a genuinely useful entry point, though value is inherently variable depending on route and demand, and the brand's youth relative to more established charter names means its long-term consistency is still being proven at scale.
