LUXURY TECH: Launched in March 2013, the JetSmarter app has been downloaded over 300,000 times and facilitated more than 1,000 flights so far in 2014.
ZURICH: Wannabe jetsetters can now hail a private plane anywhere in the world from their smartphones thanks to an app that makes luxury air travel more accessible — at least to those who can afford the US$7,000 (RM24,462) membership.
JetSmarter, the brain child of Sergey Petrossov, 26, allows users to hire a jet in a matter of seconds. "Our goal as a company is to democratise private aviation," he told Reuters in Zurich, where the company will open a European office in 2015.
