Problem
Charter operators often have empty positioning flights that generate no revenue, while pilots lack an efficient way to locate and secure jumpseat opportunities on those flights. This results in underutilized aircraft capacity and missed cost‑saving or crew‑relief options.
Solution
JumpHub offers a dedicated software platform that connects charter operators with flight crews seeking jumpseat positions on empty positioning flights. Operators list available seats, and pilots can search, request, and receive pre‑approval for those seats through a secure, non‑revenue‑sharing network. The system automates the matching process, reduces manual coordination, and enables both parties to maximize aircraft utilization and crew efficiency. By streamlining jumpseat participation, JumpHub helps operators lower operating costs and provides pilots with convenient travel options.
Target Audience
Primary customers are charter airline operators that run positioning flights and the pilots or flight crews employed by those operators who need to find jumpseat travel options.
