Thanksgiving weekend is the industry’s stress test. Everyone wants to fly on the same two days.

flyExclusive operated the most flights in company history during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, increasing hours flown by 47% compared with the 2023 Thanksgiving period and achieving its highest single-day revenue total in nine years.

Being vertically integrated allows us to control every aspect of the customer experience and that has led to strong, stable demand.

Jim Segrave, Founder and Chief Executive Officer

What was feeding it

  • Nearly 200 Volato members added to Jet Club since the September 2024 aircraft management services agreement with Volato Group.
  • Three Challenger aircraft recently delivered, with fleet additions expected to accelerate through 2025.

The company operates approximately 100 jets and maintains in-house repair, paint, cabin interior and avionics capability at its Kinston headquarters — the capacity that makes a peak weekend a scheduling exercise rather than a scramble for outside maintenance slots.

Background on the Volato relationship is in the September 2024 management agreement.
