Jet It / JetClub

Big-picture snapshot

Jet It was a Part 135 on-demand charter operator headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, that operated a fleet of Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite aircraft under a fractional/membership model. At its peak, Jet It was the largest HondaJet operator in the world, owning approximately 10% of the global HondaJet Elite fleet — roughly 20-23 aircraft — plus two Gulfstream G150s. The company employed approximately 160 people globally in 2021 and operated a sister brand, JetClub, for international markets across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Jet It was co-founded in 2018 by Glenn Gonzales (CEO, 26.8% ownership stake) and Vishal Hiremath (20.1% ownership). The largest investor was LoJet Holdings LLC, a New York-based entity that held a 44.3% stake and was owed $26.5 million in secured debt at the time of bankruptcy. The company was non-union and had no AirlinePilotCentral listing.

Jet It is defunct. The fleet was grounded on May 19, 2023, and the company filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy on December 24, 2025. The company is not hiring and will not resume operations.
