Key Takeaways:
Jet It and JetClub cofounders Glenn Gonzales and Vishal Hiremath won the prestigious EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2021 Southeast Award for their innovative hybrid aircraft ownership model.
Their "hybrid ownership" allows customers to purchase fractional ownership (10-50%) of a HondaJet Elite S, providing 25-130 days of use, with the unique option to book airplanes for an entire day rather than strictly by the hour.
A distinctive feature of Jet It is the "Red Jet Squadron," which enables owners to acquire a HondaJet HA-420 type rating and personally fly the jet they co-own.
Established in 2018, Jet It has experienced rapid growth, placing 10 HondaJets into operation and ordering 10 more, with its success rooted in the founders' previous experience at Honda Aircraft Company and Gulfstream Corporation.
Jet It and JetClub cofounders Glenn Gonzales and Vishal Hiremath have been recognized by Ernest and Young for starting and growing a hybrid ownership company based on the HondaJet series.
The pair won the prestigious EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2021 Southeast Award.
