JetsetPrivate Air. The Story.

The Story About A Girl Determined To Change The Way We Fly. Here is her story...

Jacqueline Zimmerman started flying at 19. She is a commercial pilot, world traveler and is passionate about aviation. 

After graduating from Columbia Business School in New York with an MBA in Finance, Jacqueline worked on Wall Street, where she often dreamt about combining her love for entrepreneurship, travel and flying.

While working in New York, Jacqueline graduated from the Professional Pilot Program at FlightSafety International in Vero Beach, FL receiving Outstanding Performance for her Commercial and Flight Instructor checkrides. Flying from coast to coast on cross-country flights during her flight training, friends would often marvel at the idea of departing to Key West at the spur of the moment for a local seafood dinner by the Ocean.

As an investment banker in New York, Jacqueline would travel with friends for day trips to the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard and other vacation getaways – in between late nights at the office. The luxury of having a friend’s aircraft to fly on stand by, departing on a moment’s notice was irresistible – leaving the stress of New York behind, if only for a few hours.

Friends asked to join on these luxurious escapes, and in 2012, Jacqueline and her brother Adam, a stockbroker in Chicago, founded JetsetInsider to bring evening dinner escapes by private air to a wider audience. Just eight dinner guests would board a 9-passenger Cessna Grand Caravan for an evening of cocktails, gourmet dinner at a local hotspot and return refreshed the same evening – all for less then the round trip cost of a flight on American Airlines. 

The evening escapes expanded to include adventures in Bimini, Bahamas, yoga wellness experiences and Island Hopping Adventures – at a price points accessible to young millennials. 

In 2015, JetsetPrivate Air was founded to simplify the process of flying private to the Bahamas and the Keys, by offering all-inclusive, competitive pricing, quick mobile booking and international departures in less than two hours. 

The company has since expanded nationwide and internationally offering clients access to the safest, most cost-efficient options to get to their destination – precisely matching the traveler, the trip and the expertly maintained aircraft. 

JetsetPrivate Air’s journey is just beginning with the goal of bringing private air charter to wider audience and simplifying private air travel to more destinations…
