ONEflight International offers BAJIT (book-a-jet) technology for private jet booking, providing access to over 7,000 jets from 700 operators. The service features live pricing and instant quotes, targeting empty-leg flights to reduce costs. Membership options offer fixed rates, guaranteed availability, and exclusive perks. ONEflight acts as a charter broker under FAR 14 CFR Part 135 rules and holds ARGUS and WYVERN Certified Broker Certifications.

When considering private jet travel, options include full aircraft ownership with significant annual costs or fractional ownership with shared use hours without ownership expenses. For occasional trips, membership schemes or direct bookings with operators are available.

BAJIT allows users to book private jets conveniently via PC or mobile devices. Users can search for flights, choose suitable aircraft and budgets, and pay online. The platform offers over 7,000 private jets from various charter operators.
