Jet Card Comparison

Choosing a Jet Card is a meaningful commitment. So before you sign anything, we think you should see exactly what you’re getting, and what you’re not. Silverhawk Aviation has done the homework, and we’re confident the numbers in this Jet Card Comparison speak for themselves.

Real World Pricing – What You Actually Pay Matters More Than the Hourly Rate

A low hourly rate doesn’t mean much if repositioning fees, peak surcharges, and booking premiums quietly inflate your final bill. We modeled real-world trip costs. The same flights, priced the same way, so that you can compare apples to apples.

All figures reflect effective all-in pricing based on standard Jet Card hourly rates.

What Makes Silverhawk Different – Sensible Pricing. No Surprises.

We built our Jet Card program around what actually matters to our customers and eliminated what doesn’t.

  • No peak or blackout dates. Ever. Your card works the same on Thanksgiving week as it does in January.
  • No repositioning fees within 200 miles. Because our fleet is based in the Midwest, where you fly, your costs stay predictable.
  • Transparent pricing. The rate you see is the rate you pay. No late-night surcharges, no regional fees, no add-ons that make you feel like you’re being nickel-and-dimed after you’ve already committed.
  • Locally based, personally operated. Silverhawk Aviation has been headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, since 1991. When you call us, you’re talking to the team that actually flies you, not a national call center.
