Marmalade Skies is an online auction site that offers flyers a chance to bid on empty leg flights[1] and make flight requests for on-demand private jet travel. The company also sells seats on scheduled Part-135[2] qualified piston and Turboprop aircraft plus offers last minute deals on regional airlines.

The company was founded in 2013 by Chuck Taylor and Brad Reisner[3] who also is the co-founder of Charitybuzz.

History

Marmalade Skies was born from an observation that the on demand air charter industry is a surprisingly inefficient business model for both passengers and charter companies – up to 40% of the private jet flights jetting across the sky are empty.[4]

The company has created a community of travelers and charter operators using an auction-based mode and the market has become more transparent, more honest, and more efficient.

Marmalade Skies gives fliers a chance to bid on and buy luxury private jet travel and save[5] – while giving charter companies a chance to grow their businesses.
