Ride sharing for small planes
Go flying with local pilots. Thousands of private pilots fly every day with empty seats in their planes. We connect you with them so you can join in their same day, round trip adventures! Whether it be a common destination, lunch at an airport restaurant, or another day trip, Flytenow makes it possible to get off the ground and go on an adventure.
Flytenow positions itself as a platform for flight-sharing, enabling pilots to share fuel costs with passengers using an online bulletin-board style service. It emphasizes connecting local pilots with passengers to facilitate cost-sharing flights.
Online bulletin board and social-enabled platform that verifies pilot qualifications and FAA status, then connects pilots and passengers for cost-sharing flights. Pilots list eligible flights and share costs with passengers who contact and arrange flights through the platform, with communications and direct messaging supported to finalize arrangements.
Who it’s for: Individual travelers and aviation enthusiasts seeking affordable private flights and pilots looking to reduce passenger costs through shared expenses.
