Our take
Aero is carving out a unique space in luxury air travel. On one end, you've got the big players (Qatar Airways, American, British Airways), offering traditional first-class experiences. On the other hand, there's a full private jet treatment from companies like VistaJet or LunaJet. Aero sits somewhere in between, offering 'semi-private' flights that feel like first class (without the first-class price tag). It's a niche, but one that's turning heads by blending comfort, exclusivity, and value in a way few others do.
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.
