JRE (ICAO: JRE) refers to flyExclusive, a prominent private jet charter company based in the United States.
flyExclusive was founded as LGM Enterprises, LLC, by Jim Segrave, with operations officially commencing in 2015. Segrave, an experienced aviator, had previously founded Segrave Aviation in 1994, which was later sold to Delta AirElite in 2010. Following the expiration of a non-compete agreement, he launched Exclusive Jets in 2015, which was subsequently rebranded as flyExclusive to avoid confusion with other companies.
The company's main operational base and headquarters are located in Kinston, North Carolina, specifically at the Kinston Regional Jetport (KISO). flyExclusive operates a "floating fleet" model, allowing their aircraft to be strategically positioned at various hubs to reduce unnecessary flight legs and enhance availability.
flyExclusive operates a versatile fleet of approximately 100-112 jets, primarily consisting of Cessna Citation aircraft, making them one of the world's largest operators of this aircraft type. Their fleet includes Cessna Citation CJ3/CJ3+ (light jet), Citation Excel/XLS (midsize jet), Citation Sovereign (super-midsize jet), and Citation X (super-midsize jet). The company is also actively modernizing and expanding its fleet with the integration of Bombardier Challenger 350 super-midsize aircraft. While predominantly focused on Cessna Citations, flyExclusive previously operated Gulfstream GIVs, acquired in 2020, to offer global reach. As a private jet charter company, flyExclusive does not participate in major airline alliances such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld.
flyExclusive provides a range of private aviation solutions including on-demand charter services, Jet Club membership, and fractional ownership programs. Their route network extends across North America, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Notable services include the Jet Club membership, which offers locked-in rates, integrated funding bonuses, and guaranteed access to their fleet without blackout dates or fuel surcharges. All aircraft in their Light, Mid, and Super-Mid categories are Wi-Fi enabled and the company maintains pet-friendly policies. They emphasize luxurious and modern cabin interiors, a result of their in-house refurbishment capabilities.
