First-quarter data shows jet card providers easing peak-day access rules and lowering daily minimum charges as rates increase moderately. Jet card customers saw improved flexibility from jet card providers in the first quarter of 2025, even as average hourly flight rates continued to rise, according to new data released by Private Jet Card Comparisons (PJCC), which tracks more than 500 membership, card, and fractional programs.

The card programs, which offer prepaid access to aircraft at fixed or capped hourly rates, have reduced peak-day designations to an average of 35.4 days, down from 44.6 at the end of 2024 and significantly below the fourth-quarter 2022 high of 55.7 days. Though still higher than the 22.8-day pre-Covid average, the trend reflects greater schedule flexibility for cardholders.
