Private Jet Media Network · A TRH venture
The hardest audience on earth to reach — captive at 45,000 feet.
Not an ad network. A curated luxury discovery layer inside the cabin, served by route and owned end to end. The passenger isn't inferred from a cookie — they're verified by the act of boarding a private jet.
Why TRH can build this
A private-jet media network needs two things. TRH already has both.
The cabin
Access to the audience.
Fifteen years selling fractional and membership at Flexjet, Jet Edge, and VistaJet — and the operator relationships that come with scaling a $150M+ platform. TRH knows who is in the cabin, and how to reach the people who control it.
The brands
A decade in premium media.
Before aviation, Tyler spent five years at Vox Media as Director of Sales & Business Development — building brand and advertising partnerships across HBO, NBCU, Discovery, GE, and Eater, the category-defining authority in luxury dining. A Digiday Award for Best Video Ad along the way.
The two sides of this business — the UHNW cabin and the brands that want in — rarely sit in one person. Here, they do.
Who’s in the cabin
Verified by the only signal that matters — they boarded.
No proxy, no cookie, no estimate. Flying privately is self-selected proof of wealth — average net worth $30M+.

What passengers discover
Not advertised to — served.
Destinations
Curated properties, private villas, and resort experiences — timed to route and season.
Superyacht & Sea
Yacht brokers, Caribbean and Mediterranean itineraries, and private marine experiences.
Fine Timepieces
Premium maisons and luxury retail, presented as editorial discovery — never promotion.
Private Clubs
Golf, membership communities, and curated lifestyle access relevant to the passenger's world.
The inventory is seat hours
Flight hours × occupied seats = captive attention.
The top five fractional and charter operators alone generate over 32,679 occupied seat hours every day. That is the real inventory — and it is entirely unmonetized today.
Seat-Hour Inventory Model
IllustrativeModeled at $5 per occupied seat-hour of premium, brand-safe attention. Directional only — actual yield depends on fleet, routing, and partner mix.
Route → discovery
The system knows where every jet is going. The content follows.
The moment a flight plan is filed, ADS-B and route data load the right campaign — destination-specific, season-aware, event-triggered. Nothing is generic; every placement is inevitable.

The model
Three revenue streams. One network.
Brand campaigns
$5K–$50K
per campaign
Geo-targeted route packages, seasonal and category exclusivity.
Destination activations
$500–$5K
per qualified lead
Performance-based — brands pay per opt-in, not per impression.
Network membership
$25K–$200K
per year
Annual category exclusivity for founding brand partners.
Operator revenue share
Operator 40% · Network 60% · $300–$1,000 per aircraft / month · zero hardware, zero operational change.

Scale is the asset
Fleet size is the moat.
You sell quality of audience, not volume of impressions — but the network compounds. Every aircraft added is a node, and the operator earns a passive share on every flight.

The Bentley Moment
Discovery in the air. Activation on the ground.
A passenger descending into Palm Beach is shown a Bentley Bentayga, configured to their arrival. One tap — “have concierge arrange” — and the car is waiting at the terminal when the doors open. The impression became an opt-in; the opt-in became a delivery. That is the difference between advertising and activation.
Bentley Bentayga
Configured to your arrival, delivered to the terminal.

01In the air
Arranged.
A Bentayga will be waiting at Signature Aviation, Palm Beach — timed to wheels-down.
Confirmed · 14:20 EST02One tap
Your Bentley is
at the ramp.
03On the ground
It reframes the whole platform: brands pay per qualified opt-in, not per impression. Every dollar is trackable, every activation attributable — and the passenger receives something genuinely useful, delivered the moment they land.
Why now
The infrastructure finally exists. The category doesn’t — yet.
The connectivity arrived
Starlink Aviation and Gogo 5G solved real-time, in-flight delivery — already on thousands of business aircraft. The pipes and screens are in; only the software layer is missing.
The audience is verified
No channel can say 'everyone seeing this is flying privately.' This one can — wealth proven by the act of boarding, not inferred from a cookie. 20–40 minutes, no ad-block, no competing screen.
No one owns it yet
Private aviation has grown 40%+ post-COVID and there is still no unified media layer. The window is open — and TRH's operator relationships are the thing a tech founder can't replicate.

Three surfaces, one experience
Native to the cabin. Turnkey to deploy.
Bulkhead screen
Large cabinThe full-width forward display commands the cabin — live map, destination overlay, and brand moments at the point of maximum anticipation on descent.
Side-ledge monitor
Mid / large cabinSplit-screen flight data plus curated offers — minimal and believable, integrated into the cabin system rather than placed on top.
iPad in hand
UniversalThe sleeper surface. Most modern jets already run iPad-controlled cabin management — personal, private, and where conversion happens.
Fleet network
Starlink · Gogo · Viasat (installed)
Aircraft interface
Wi-Fi portal · operator iPads · cabin screens
Network control
Cloud CMS · geo-targeting · analytics
A software layer over infrastructure already installed — no avionics work, no STC, no cabin modifications. The business scales like a web platform, not an engineering firm.
From flight plan to FBO
The attention doesn’t start at the door — or end at it.
Pre-flight discovery
When a flight plan is filed, a curated destination preview reaches the passenger — extending captive attention from 20 minutes to 24+ hours.
FBO activation
The most concentrated UHNW environment on earth. The car at the arrival lane, the display in the lounge — the in-flight opt-in, delivered on the ground.
Built for the brands that already chase this audience
Five anchor categories. Five proof points.
Automotive
Ground-activation proof — discover in the air, deliver to the hangar.
Travel & hospitality
Impulse-booked by this audience; a single booking pays for the campaign.
Private banking
Institutional credibility that validates the whole network.
Fine timepieces
The highest-status purchase moment in luxury — exclusivity at a premium.
Health & longevity
The fastest-growing UHNW spend, with no efficient channel to reach it.

How the network is built
Least friction first. NetJets is the goal, not the start.
Charter operators
Centralized decisions, marketing-led leadership, warm relationships. The fastest yes.
Management companies
They control the cabin experience across dozens of owners' aircraft — the best entry point.
Fractional programs
NetJets, Flexjet, VistaJet — largest scale, longest approval. Earned after the network is proven.
What has to be true
Three questions the venture answers early.
Operators allow it
Framed and experienced as premium experience enhancement — never advertising at the passenger's expense.
Brands buy it
The cabin proven as a quantifiable luxury channel — audience size, contextual relevance, measurable value.
Deployment stays simple
Lightweight, software-based, repeatable across operators and aircraft — no per-fleet engineering.
Where this goes
The media network is the wedge. The ecosystem is the destination.
