Sentient Jet is an American private aviation company founded in 1999 and credited with inventing the private jet card model. Based in the Boston area, the company sells prepaid 25-hour jet cards that provide guaranteed availability, fixed hourly rates, and consistent service terms without the capital commitment of aircraft ownership or fractional shares.
Rather than operating its own fleet, Sentient Jet arranges flights through a network of certified operators whose aircraft and crews must meet the company's safety standards, which include independent safety audits and its own Certified Preferred Network criteria overseen by an independent safety advisory board. Cards are offered across light, midsize, super-midsize, and heavy jet categories, with published hourly rates and defined service areas covering the continental United States and select international destinations.
Sentient Jet is part of the family of aviation brands associated with Flexjet, alongside fractional provider Flexjet and other charter and travel businesses. Since 2021 the company has included carbon offsets for all flight emissions in every jet card as part of its sustainability program.
The company serves primarily US-based individuals, families, and businesses, with cards purchased directly through its sales team and flights booked by phone or through its digital tools.
