Our take
Aero’s concept creates a unique option in the world of luxury air travel. There are plenty of opportunities to fly first class with the likes of Qatar Airways, American Airlines and British Airways, or consumers can choose to charter a private jet from the likes of Vistajet or Lunajet. Aero has found a niche in this market, offering ‘semi-private’ first class flights, at prices lower than commercial first class.
The premium service allows travellers to book a seat on jets flying directly between private terminals, so there are no crowds and no waiting in line. All seats are first class and flyers have access to a private lounge and a dedicated concierge team while on board.
The company is backed by Uber's co-founder, Garrett Camp and their startup studio, Expa. It's currently only serving a small handful of destinations within the US, so the service is limited. However, there are plans to add more routes to take in popular European and US beach resorts, and some major cities such as London.
