Flapper

Flapperapp is a complete and comprehensive solution that turns flying private into a mainstream travel option. As the first on-demand private aviation company in Latin America, it boasts a network of more than 450 private jets and helicopters, allowing you to easily hire a private aircraft within minutes.

What’s good?

Flapper offers two types of services. At one hand, the company runs its own scheduled operations, offering shared flights on routes unavailable to commercial aviation, with fixed prices and a guaranteed departure. The service can be booked and paid through the app, with numerous payment options and email reservation sent immediately upon confirmation.

On-demand charter constitutes another interesting (but pricey) option.More than 200 different types of jets, turbo-props, and helicopters are available for rent, with real-time price estimates. The company has built its proprietary inventory, which also means that every aircraft passes through safety-vetting before getting registered on the platform.

Last, but not least, users can also benefit from Flapper Specials, i.e. last-minute empty leg offers at the price tag of up to 60% lower than the market place. Such deals usually take place when the aircraft requires a repositioning or a customer has purchased a one-way flight (hence the term ‘empty leg’ or ‘dead leg’).
