Sentient Jet doubled its jet card sales in 2020 due almost exclusively to new private fliers entering the market and expects other trends that emerged last year to continue into this year and beyond, CEO Andrew Collins told AIN. “With the new entrants, with the rise of the popularity of the jet card model in 2020, and then you couple the fact that we had grown our organization from a sales perspective and additionally there was the federal excise tax holiday, we ended the year selling $450 million in jet cards,” Collins said. “So that’s a pretty significant jump from where we were the year before.”
