Private Jet Services (PJS)
Elevate Aviation Group’s white-glove charter brokerage. Sports, live entertainment, campaigns, Fortune-level group lift, and UHNW missions that will not be booked in an app.
Best for
Team travel, stadium tours, political campaigns, and corporations that specify tail, vintage, cabin layout, and want a desk watching the flight in real time.
Not ideal for
A couple booking a weekend light jet in an app, or anyone shopping the lowest published hourly.
Verdict
PJS is the older sister of Elevate Jet, not a second logo on the same product. Greg Raiff built it on sports, music, and campaign charters. The published split is explicit: Elevate Jet is the consumer app, Azurite card, and $100k membership; PJS keeps UHNW and large-group work that names the aircraft. Raiff has said PJS staffs about ten people per flight, including someone on ATC. That density is the product. There is also a PJS corporate card at a $500k deposit with dynamic pricing and funds at JPMorgan Chase — a different buyer than Azurite’s 25-hour consumer card. Recommend if the mission is a roster or a tightly specified cabin. Poor if you wanted to tap a fare on your phone.
