FlyExclusive operated the most flights in company history over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and set a new record for its highest one-day revenue total in nine years of operation.&nbsp;Announcing the achievement on December 18, the charter operator said it logged 47% more flight hours than it did over the 2023 Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
“As we’ve grown the business, we’ve been disciplined and strategic every step of the way, and we’re seeing the results of that with strong customer demand combined with efficient fleet utilization,” said FlyExclusive founder and CEO Jim Segrave.
“Being vertically integrated allows us to control every aspect of the customer experience, and that has led to strong, stable demand in our Jet Club and fractional programs that we expect to continue through the holiday season and into 2025,” he added. “As we continue to add new, high-performance aircraft to our fleet and offer customers a consistently superior experience, we’ll continue to take market share and further scale the business.”
The company recently received deliveries of three super-midsize Bombardier Challenger 350s and said it expects fleet additions to accelerate in 2025.
Last year, FlyExclusive became the first member of the <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/futureflight/2023-08-15/flyexclusive-backs-textrons-plans-nexus-evtol-aircraft">customer advisory group</a> that Textron’s eAviation division established for its Nexus eVTOL, indicating the company's interest in adding electric and hybrid-electric aircraft to its fleet.
