Who we are, and why the firm stays small.

Julien Vernet founded Honest Jets after a decade in media and technology, watching the same pattern play out around him: a sophisticated principal, usually a successful operator in their own field, making aviation decisions on information they did not have, and could not have, because the parties at the table were paid to keep it that way.

Honest Jets is the simplest possible correction. An advisory paid by the principal on a fixed fee, a charter line that quotes one all-in number per mission, and a hard refusal to accept commissions or rebates from the counterparties our clients negotiate against. That is the whole structure.

The firm has stayed deliberately small. We do not plan to grow into a marketplace. Two managing partners, a 24/7 operations desk, and a tightly bounded client list.
