FlyHouse Acquires Jetsmith in Charter Broker Deal
FlyHouse has acquired Jetsmith, an on-demand charter brokerage and aircraft sales and consulting firm, strengthening its position in the private aviation marketplace and expanding its third-party broker network.
The transaction integrates Jetsmith into FlyHouse’s third-party (3P) broker marketplace and broader aviation platform, which includes charter services, aircraft management, and maintenance support. The move is designed to enhance FlyHouse’s digital marketplace capabilities by broadening access to aircraft inventory, operators, and brokerage relationships across North America and beyond.
As part of the deal, Jetsmith founder Adam Smith has been appointed president of 3P broker development and operator relations at FlyHouse. In his new role, Smith will focus on expanding the company’s network of third-party brokers and operators, while overseeing broker development, operator partnerships, and key strategic relationships. His appointment reflects FlyHouse’s intention to scale its marketplace model through deeper collaboration with independent brokers and charter operators.
Jetsmith has built a reputation in the on-demand charter segment, providing bespoke flight solutions, aircraft acquisition advisory services, and consulting support to high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients. By bringing Jetsmith under its umbrella, FlyHouse gains additional expertise in brokerage operations and aircraft transactions, complementing its existing service offerings.
The acquisition comes as competition intensifies in the private aviation sector, where digital platforms and marketplace models are reshaping how charter flights are sourced and booked. Operators and brokers are increasingly leveraging integrated platforms that combine charter, aircraft management, and maintenance services within a single ecosystem.
FlyHouse, headquartered in Van Nuys, aims to position itself as a comprehensive private aviation solutions provider. By integrating Jetsmith’s brokerage operations and leadership into its 3P structure, the company is seeking to accelerate growth, improve network depth, and enhance service delivery for clients across the charter and aircraft sales markets.
The deal underscores ongoing consolidation and strategic partnerships within the charter brokerage space, as companies pursue scale, network expansion, and technology-driven efficiencies in a rapidly evolving private aviation landscape.
