Personal Airline ExchangeA data driven platform that empowers buyers and sellers to achieve
optimized solutions for jet charter
PAX built an exchange to bring efficiency
to the jet charter market. We attracted
new-to-charter customers.
But industry business processes hinder
reaching critical mass.
PAX is using market design to create a
model that is attractive to suppliers and
buyers.

High touch negotiations
Most sales are through brokers
Hard to reach the customer directly
Exploit inefficient business
model, making big profits at
expense of buyers and sellers
The Problem With Jet Charter
Buying jet charter is a complex match-making transaction, yet is
treated like a commodity by competitors, resulting in excess
capacity and added costs. Brokers extract undue value by
exploiting this inefficiency.

Buyers are able to perform the
discovery and information
gathering typical of a match-
making transaction, without direct
contact with sellers.
Sellers have powerful scheduling,
forecasting, and modeling tools to
optimize their aircraft in real-time.
The complexities of the system
are hidden from users through an
engaging and intuitive interface.
The Product
PAX is a web & mobile application that offers portals to both
buyers and sellers to transact charter sales with optimized
results, benefiting both parties.

Landscape & Competition
New charter operator models are being tried, but at high
capital cost and risk. Competition is automating existing
business models, not innovating the industry.
Floating Fleets
High Capital commitment and risk. Difficult
to scale volume up. Share-Shift focus on
capture and retention of customers.
Commodity Sale,
Empty-Leg Focused
Automated existing business practices.
Combative with operators over margin. No
means to grow demand. Use gimmicks that
are not sustainable to attract users
Subscription Services
A new “all you can fly” model, but
scheduled service like airlines. Lose all the
benefits of on-demand charter.
