Flight Club started when our co-founder, Mathew, purchased an aircraft. To minimize his cost of ownership, he started selling block hours. Mathew posted an ad advertising his aircraft and received over 70 responses in a span of 3 days.
He then quickly found that navigating aircraft management — including sharing logistics such as payment processing, block tracking, and scheduling — was cumbersome and inefficient. To determine his business’s legality and set up the legal framework, he approached YYZ law. That’s when the idea of creating an Airbnb-like platform for general aviation was born.
Since 2020, Flight Club has been simplifying the process for pilots and owners alike. Flight Club has processed over $0.00Mto date and has recently expanded its services into the United States — but the mission hasn’t changed: put the people who fly and the people who own at the center of everything.
