Marmalade Skies is an online auction site that offers flyers a chance to bid on empty leg flights[1] and make flight requests for on-demand private jet travel. The company also sells seats on scheduled Part-135[2] qualified piston and Turboprop aircraft plus offers last minute deals on regional airlines.
The company was founded in 2013 by Chuck Taylor and Brad Reisner[3] who also is the co-founder of Charitybuzz.[4]
History[edit]
Marmalade Skies was born from an observation that the on demand air charter industry is a surprisingly inefficient business model for both passengers and charter companies – up to 40% of the private jet flights jetting across the sky are empty.[5]
The company has created a community of travelers and charter operators using an auction-based mode and the market has become more transparent, more honest, and more efficient.
Marmalade Skies gives fliers a chance to bid on and buy luxury private jet travel and save[6] – while giving charter companies a chance to grow their businesses.
Services[edit]
- Empty Legs: flight auctions
- Private Jet Charters: flight auctions
- Flash Seats: last minute seat deals on board a piston, turbo prop or regional jet
