XO (formerly XOJET) is a US-based private aviation company and subsidiary of Vista Global with its headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. XO, with a worldwide fleet access of more than 1,450 private aircraft, offers clients on-demand private jet charters with fixed-price membership programs as alternatives to jet cards and fractional ownership of aircraft. The company also offers the ability to purchase individual seats on pre-arranged, shared flights.




Services


XO is an on-demand private jet company. It operates in the same market as competitors NetJets and Flexjet.
The company offers a number of private jet charter programs that allow customers to choose their arrival and departure points.
In July 2017, XOJET launched Select Access, a new $50,000 membership level; added lite- and mid-size jets to its Elite Access program; and instituted a program for membership with monthly fees. In August of that year, XOJET reported it serviced more than 7,000 clients worldwide.




History


XOJET was founded in 2006 by Paul Touw and Keith Krach as a private jet charter company with customers purchasing a set number of annual flight hours, similar to fractional ownership. The company is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
