Trust in the Skies: Private vs. Commercial Pilots

A recent Jettly survey reveals that trust in commercial pilots has declined, partly due to incidents like the Alaska Airlines event, with Delta, American, and United emerging as the most trusted airlines. Factors reducing trust include visible fatigue, late arrivals, and poor communication. While Gen Z shows a higher trust in private pilots, cost remains the biggest barrier to private flying, alongside concerns about accessibility and environmental impact. Justin Crabbe, CEO of Jettly, emphasizes that expanding networks, improved booking platforms, and new options like jet cards and fractional ownership are making private aviation more accessible and eco-conscious.

Private Jet for Purchase: Should You Buy or Charter in 2026?
