By now, iPhone users are getting used to employing Apple Pay to buying groceries or a cuppa of coffee. But booking a private jet using the much-hyped app looks like something altogether different.
Based in New York City, Skyjet is a leading provider of on-demand private jet charters. Recently, it announced the launch of its iPhone Skyjet app that is the first of its kind in private charter flights to collaborate with Apple Pay. The app’s main motive is to make booking a luxury private jet easier than ever, merely a touch of your finger.
Whether it is a short hop, coast-to-coast, or an international flight, SkyJet has it covered. The app comes with direct access to an intelligent MPR (Market Price Range) tool, whereby they can provide users with real-time price estimates based on market pricing and what other clients. You are even able to see your flight and able to book it four hours before departure.
Once you’ve decided where to go, it is time pay and this time by Apple Pay. Considering you have already integrated your debit or credit card details with Apple Pay, it is simple as the touch of a finger to book a private jet to any part of the world. SkyJet assures security and privacy since the actual card numbers are not stored on your iPhone or Apple servers. Instead, you’ll be given a unique Device Account Number that is encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your iPhone. Moreover, each transaction requires a one-time unique dynamic security code. Even after this assurance, you’re still unsure about Apple Pay, and you can always use a credit card or a wire transfer.
Once your flight is booked, you will have access to Skyjet’s team of experienced aviation experts through the app’s ‘Call’ button who will assist you with all the necessary plans like catering, aircraft availability and ground transportation. Besides, all your travel documents such as flight information and aircraft details can be obtained directly through the app.
SkyJet has been operating since 1997 with an exclusive safety team of FAA, NTSB, and Air Force veterans. If you’re one of the first 50 clients booking a charter flight via Apple Pay, you may stand a chance to win an Apple Watch Sport or an iPad Air.
