"Our customers are thrilled with the quality of their travel experience and first-of-its-kind instant booking process that gives them access to over 1700 private jets," said Eugene Kesselman, Founder, and CEO of TapJets.

TapJets will continue to accept Master Card, Visa, American Express, and bank wire and ACH.  

Mr. Kesselman also said "If you are looking to fly private then you are probably also looking for simplicity, we have put an end to the antiquated methods of booking a jet that included paper contracts or prepayments.
