2. Executive Company Overview

flyExclusive is a U.S.-based private aviation operator headquartered in Kinston, North Carolina, providing private jet charter, Jet Club membership, fractional aircraft ownership, aircraft management and partnership programs, aircraft sales, and maintenance, repair and overhaul services. Passenger operations are conducted principally through Exclusive Jets, LLC, doing business as flyExclusive, under FAA Air Carrier Certificate 3EJA805N. The company serves individual private travelers, fractional owners, jet-card and membership customers, corporations, aircraft owners and aviation-service customers across the United States and international markets.

Founded by Jim Segrave in 2015, flyExclusive developed around an owner-operator model rather than operating solely as a charter broker. Its business combines flight operations with internally controlled maintenance, refurbishment, avionics, aircraft sales and ownership-related programs. This vertical integration is commercially significant because the company maintains substantial control over aircraft availability, technical support and fleet configuration instead of outsourcing every component of its operating platform.

The company’s current passenger fleet strategy emphasizes Cessna Citation and Bombardier Challenger aircraft, supplemented by Cessna Caravan turboprops. Current customer-facing fleet materials identify Citation CJ3+, Citation Excel/XLS, Citation X, Challenger 350 and Caravan aircraft. SEC disclosures have historically included a broader mix incorporating additional Citation variants, HondaJets and Gulfstream aircraft. Consequently, fleet totals and type counts must be interpreted according to reporting date, certificate status and whether managed, partner, sale inventory or legacy aircraft are included.

flyExclusive has been publicly traded since 2023. In addition to organic fleet expansion, it has used partnerships and transactions involving Volato and Jet.AI to expand customer relationships, aircraft-management activity, aircraft-sales capabilities and aviation technology assets.

4. Services & Capabilities

Primary Services

Private Jet Charter

flyExclusive provides on-demand private jet services through its certificated operating platform. Flights may also be performed by approved vendor air carriers where disclosed.

Jet Club Membership

The company operates a prepaid private aviation membership product called Jet Club. Current company materials describe Jet Club as a deposit-based program rather than an ownership structure.

Fractional Aircraft Ownership

flyExclusive offers fractional ownership providing annual flight-hour entitlements and access across qualifying fleet categories. The current program describes five-year fractional contracts rather than requiring owners to fly exclusively on one specific aircraft.

Aircraft Management / Aircraft Partnership

The company provides operating and management arrangements for aircraft owners, including aircraft leaseback structures, flight operations, maintenance support and access-related programs. Its 2024 agreement with Volato also demonstrates institutional-scale aircraft management capability.

Aircraft Sales

flyExclusive maintains aircraft sales inventory and markets aircraft for sale, including Citation, Challenger and Gulfstream aircraft.

Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul

Its MRO activities include maintenance for company and third-party aircraft. SEC disclosures state that the MRO business provides maintenance as well as interior and exterior refurbishment.

Aircraft Paint and Exterior Refurbishment

flyExclusive operates aircraft paint capabilities at its Kinston MRO complex, including an electrostatic paint facility.

Aircraft Interior Refurbishment

Interior refurbishment is performed as part of the integrated MRO operation for company and third-party aircraft.

Avionics

Current investor materials identify advanced avionics capabilities, including Garmin G3000/G5000 retrofit activity and satellite connectivity solutions.

Specialized Capabilities

Documented capabilities include:

  • Part 135 private jet operations
  • Light, midsize and super-midsize private jet operations
  • Fractional fleet operations
  • Jet Club membership flying
  • Wholesale charter activity
  • Aircraft management
  • Aircraft leaseback structures
  • Aircraft acquisition inventory for partnership programs
  • Aircraft sales
  • In-house fleet maintenance
  • Third-party aircraft maintenance
  • 24/7 MRO operations
  • Aircraft paint
  • Aircraft interior refurbishment
  • Avionics upgrades
  • Mobile aircraft maintenance support
  • AOG support
  • International flight preparation and filings
  • Owner services and trip coordination
  • Ground transportation and catering coordination
  • Satellite connectivity installations
  • Garmin avionics retrofit capability

The company’s August 2026 investor presentation stated that its MRO organization included more than 180 technicians in Kinston and 14 Mobile Service Units positioned around the United States.

5. Industries & Client Types Served

flyExclusive’s documented offerings are relevant to:

  • UHNW individuals and private travelers
  • Family and leisure travelers
  • Business executives
  • Corporate travelers
  • Jet Club members
  • Fractional aircraft owners
  • Existing private aircraft owners
  • Prospective aircraft owners
  • Aircraft sellers and buyers
  • Aircraft management clients
  • Charter customers
  • Wholesale charter buyers
  • Aviation operators requiring maintenance support
  • Third-party aircraft owners requiring MRO services
  • Organizations requiring private aviation transportation

The company is fundamentally both a consumer-facing private aviation provider and a business-to-business aviation services organization because its MRO, aircraft management, aircraft sales and wholesale activities extend beyond passenger charter.

State: North Carolina

City: Kinston

Full Headquarters Address:

United States

Principal Aviation Campus: North Carolina Global TransPark, Kinston, North Carolina

SEC filings state that the company’s operations are centered at its Kinston headquarters within the North Carolina Global TransPark and describe approximately 145,000 square feet of leased office and hangar space within the industrial park.

Additional Offices: The company publicly identifies operational personnel and corporate activity in locations beyond Kinston, including Raleigh, but a definitive complete list of corporate offices was not established from current primary-source materials.

Regions Served: North America; Caribbean; Central and South America; selected global markets

Airports Served: On-demand rather than limited to a published fixed airport network.

Principal Headquarters Airport: Kinston Regional Jetport / North Carolina Global TransPark aviation facilities

ICAO Code: KISO

IATA Code: ISO

7. Aircraft Expertise

Aircraft Categories

Current passenger fleet documentation supports:

Light Jets

  • Cessna Citation CJ3+

Midsize Jets

  • Cessna Citation Excel
  • Cessna Citation XLS

Super-Midsize Jets

  • Cessna Citation X
  • Bombardier Challenger 350

Turboprops

  • Cessna Caravan land configuration
  • Cessna Caravan seaplane / amphibious configuration

Current public fleet specifications identify capacities of up to six passengers for the CJ3+, eight for the Excel/XLS, eight for the Citation X, eight for the Challenger 350 and eight or nine for Caravan configurations.

Manufacturers

Textron Aviation / Cessna

This is flyExclusive’s most important documented aircraft relationship. The company operates a substantial Citation fleet and has ordered additional aircraft from Textron Aviation for its fractional strategy.

Bombardier

The Challenger 350 forms part of the company’s super-midsize offering.

Honda Aircraft Company

HondaJet aircraft became operationally relevant through the Volato relationship and were also included among aircraft transferred through the Jet.AI transaction.

Gulfstream Aerospace

Historical SEC disclosures state that Gulfstream aircraft were introduced into flyExclusive’s operation in 2020. Gulfstream IVSP aircraft also appear in company aircraft sales inventory.

Documented Aircraft Models

Across current operations, historic SEC disclosures, transactions and sales inventory, documented models include:

  • Citation CJ3
  • Citation CJ3+
  • Citation CJ4
  • Citation Excel
  • Citation XLS
  • Citation XLS+
  • Citation Encore+
  • Citation Sovereign
  • Citation Sovereign+
  • Citation X
  • Challenger 300
  • Challenger 350
  • HondaJet
  • Gulfstream IVSP
  • Cessna Grand Caravan

Not every model above necessarily represents the current core passenger fleet. Current customer-facing fleet materials are narrower than historical SEC fleet disclosures and aircraft-sale inventory.

8. Fleet Information

Current Company-Reported Fleet: 80+ owned and operated aircraft according to flyExclusive’s updated August 2026 company profile and fleet information.

LinkedIn Fleet Description: More than 90 light-to-heavy aircraft. This differs from the company’s newer website figure and should therefore be treated as potentially reflecting a different reporting date or fleet definition.

Earlier SEC Disclosures: Approximately or more than 100 owned and leased aircraft were reported in earlier securities filings. These totals included aircraft associated with Volato arrangements at certain periods.

Current Customer-Facing Aircraft Families:

  • Citation CJ3+
  • Citation Excel / XLS
  • Citation X
  • Challenger 350
  • Cessna Caravan

Fleet Ownership Model: Combination of company-owned, leased and historically managed/partner aircraft, depending on program and reporting period.

Managed Aircraft: Variable. The Volato agreement brought third-party aircraft under flyExclusive management beginning in 2024.

Average Fleet Age: Not publicly disclosed in a sufficiently current, consolidated figure.

Fleet Geographic Distribution: Floating fleet primarily deployed throughout the United States and North America, with international operations supported where aircraft range and operational requirements permit.

Fleet Data Interpretation

PrivateJetia should not publish a single historical fleet count without a date qualifier. flyExclusive’s fleet has been changing due to fleet modernization, aircraft dispositions, fractional deliveries, Volato-related aircraft and the Jet.AI transaction.

The safest current directory description is:

“flyExclusive reports an owned-and-operated fleet of more than 80 aircraft, while historical SEC disclosures have reported larger totals when leased, managed and partner aircraft were included.”

Current investor materials identify:

These should be classified as technical/dealership capabilities rather than equated with operator safety certifications.

11. Industry Memberships

NBAA Membership: Not independently verified from a current authoritative membership directory during this review.

flyExclusive has participated in NBAA-BACE and has publicly announced technology demonstrations at the event, but event participation alone should not be treated as evidence of current NBAA membership.

PrivateJetia recommendation: do not list association membership badges until current membership can be confirmed directly with the association or company.

12. Leadership

Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman

Jim Segrave

Chief Commercial Officer

Brian P. Reid

A complete current beneficial-ownership analysis was not included in this profile because ownership percentages can change through equity issuance, conversion and SEC filings.

2. Vertically Integrated Maintenance

The company combines flight operations with an internal Part 145 MRO organization, paint, interiors and avionics capabilities.

Cessna Citation aircraft form a major portion of the company’s operating strategy, creating concentrated technical and operating expertise across related aircraft types.

5. Integrated Aircraft Lifecycle Capabilities

Its platform reaches beyond passenger transportation into aircraft acquisition opportunities, sales, maintenance, avionics, paint, interiors and aircraft management.

As a listed company, flyExclusive provides SEC financial statements and disclosures unavailable for many privately held charter operators, improving visibility into revenue, corporate structure and material transactions.

Company Reported

The following are principally based on current flyExclusive representations:

  • 80+ current owned and operated fleet
  • ARGUS Platinum status
  • WYVERN Wingman status
  • WYVERN SMS Level 3
  • IS-BAO Stage 2
  • Geographic reach
  • 104,000-square-foot MRO footprint
  • Six dedicated MRO hangars
  • More than 180 MRO technicians
  • 14 Mobile Service Units

Where possible, company claims were compared against SEC materials.

Third-Party / Professional Platform Reported

Employee count: LinkedIn classifies flyExclusive in the 501 to 1,000 employee range. This should not be interpreted as an audited headcount.

Requires Verification

Exact Current Fleet Count

Current company materials state 80+ aircraft, while LinkedIn states more than 90 and earlier SEC materials reported approximately or more than 100 under broader fleet definitions.

This is not necessarily contradictory. The figures may differ because of aircraft disposals, modernization, certificate status, leased aircraft, managed aircraft and legacy Volato aircraft. PrivateJetia should therefore retain date and definition context.

Current Individual Aircraft Counts by Model

Not publicly disclosed in sufficiently detailed current fleet documentation.

Exact Employee Headcount

Not publicly disclosed in the reviewed SEC materials as a current exact figure.

Complete Office Network

Not publicly disclosed in a single authoritative current source.

Industry Association Memberships

NBAA, NATA, EBAA and GAMA memberships were not independently verified.

Average Fleet Age

Not publicly disclosed as a consolidated current statistic.

Annual Number of Customers

Not publicly disclosed as a current consolidated figure.

Annual Flight Hours for Full-Year 2026

Not yet available because 2026 is still in progress.

Current Aircraft Managed for Third Parties

Requires additional reconciliation because managed-aircraft totals have changed following the Volato relationship, aircraft transfers, fleet changes and subsequent transactions.

Ownership Percentages

Current beneficial ownership should be taken from the latest SEC ownership filings immediately before publication if PrivateJetia wishes to show individual shareholder percentages.

23. Information Last Verified

Research Confidence: High

Important Data Gaps: Exact current fleet composition by individual aircraft; exact employee count; current third-party managed-aircraft total; consolidated office count; current association memberships; average fleet age; and consolidated annual customer count are not publicly established with sufficient confidence.

PrivateJetia Editorial Assessment: flyExclusive should primarily be classified as a Private Jet Charter Company, with substantial secondary relevance to Fractional Ownership, Private Jet Membership Programs, Aircraft Management, Aircraft Sales and Private Jet Maintenance/MRO. Its strongest distinguishing characteristic for directory classification is the combination of a certificated private aviation operating platform, a sizable internally controlled fleet and substantial in-house MRO infrastructure rather than charter brokerage alone.
