Revaire Introduces a New Model for Private Aviation

Founded by Luke McNees and Harrison Epstein, Revaire is positioning itself as a next-generation player in private aviation. Its core offering is a Members Club that uses proprietary technology to automatically aggregate travel plans and connect members with shared charters or discounted empty-leg flights. Revaire aims to optimize capacity across routes by harnessing predictive data and streamlining logistics. The model is particularly appealing to executives, business visionaries and discreet capital holders seeking time efficiency without the cost or carbon footprint of full aircraft ownership. In this exclusive interview with LUXUO, the co-founders discuss their operational model, growth strategy and how Revaire plans to scale a curated community of frequent flyers. LUXUO sat down with Harrison Epstein, CEO of Revaire, to discuss this innovative platform.

When did you establish Revaire and how unique is the company on the bespoke private jet scene?

We founded Revaire in 2023 with a vision of creating a seamless, truly frictionless, and fully compliant way for people to share the cost of private jet travel and recapture their most valuable asset – time. Our model rethinks private aviation by combining ease and accessibility with a unique sense of community through our first-of-its-kind Members Club. With Revaire, the journey isn’t just about how you get there, it’s also about the exceptional people you meet along the way.

Revaire is redefining private aviation with a first-of-its-kind, asset-lite marketplace and Private Club, seamlessly connecting members to shared charters and discounted empty-leg flights. Tell us more about the whole onboarding and booking process?

Today, every candidate must be nominated and endorsed by an existing member, then pass an application review and a background screening. Once approved, every touchpoint is designed to feel effortless.

Members will download the Revaire app and set up their account with an invite code, which then allows our patent-pending technology to automatically capture upcoming travel plans. Behind the scenes, our engine compares those flight plans with fellow members’ plans and with empty-leg inventory from our FAA Certified Part 135 partners.

When a group of members are all traveling on the same route, the system sends an automatic notification with an estimated price range. Members can then select the departure window that suits them best, and confirm their interest with just a few taps, making self-aggregation more seamless than ever before. Once all participants confirm, Revaire charters an aircraft on the group’s behalf, all through a luxurious, user-friendly interface. And as an added benefit, Revaire delivers curated, last-minute empty legs that match members’ travel schedules, eliminating the traditional friction of sorting through countless random empty leg flights.

Members and their guests arrive at the private terminal just 20 minutes before take-off, skip crowds and security lines, and board.

Revaire empowers members to unlock more accessible private flights through an intelligent & frictionless platform. How important is the App?

Our app, and more importantly the patent-pending technology that powers it, sits at the core of everything we do. Revaire is the only platform that automatically detects where and when members are planning to travel, then lets them self-aggregate to share the cost of a private flight or match with an empty leg that fits their schedule, all without a single search.

This demand-first model also sidesteps the classic chicken-or-egg problem others have faced, allowing us to grow the membership base deliberately and admit only those who will strengthen the long-term community we are building.

What is the profile of the Revaire members? What specific & customised experiences are they looking for?

Revaire’s vetted membership brings together founders, CEOs, professional athletes, multi-platinum recording artists, and other leaders at the top of their fields. Every journey offers the possibility of connecting with equally-driven individuals, so the cabin can become as rewarding as the destination.

How to become a Revaire member?

Revaire is now inviting a select group of applicants to become Founding Members, with both initiation and membership fees waived for those our membership committee believes will best contribute to our community. To apply and join the waitlist, please visit https://www.revaire.club/waitlist.

How many members do you currently cater to?

Revaire prioritizes the caliber of its community above all else. We are diligently expanding our membership, and we maintain an extensive waitlist that our committee reviews on a rolling basis, admitting only those applicants who will strengthen the community.

How long is the waiting list to become a member?

Our membership committee reviews applications daily to confirm that each candidate aligns with Revaire’s standards and values. Although demand keeps climbing, we protect the curated, high-quality experience by prioritizing fit over timing. Applicants referred by current members, or those we consider especially additive to the community, may advance through the review process more quickly.

Three words to describe the values Revaire always puts forward?

Seamless. Upgraded. Curated.

Who are your competitors and how do you ensure differentiation?

Revaire is one of a kind in two key ways. First, it’s not just about the flight, it is about the fliers. We deliberately keep memberships highly curated so that every cabin pairs people who value time and meaningful connection as much as they value comfort. Second, our proprietary technology removes all friction by automatically matching members’ existing travel plans, allowing them to self-aggregate and secure a legal single-entity charter, with no searching, message boards, or WhatsApp threads required.

Semi-private operators such as JSX and Aero are certainly innovators in the space, but they focus on fixed routes. Revaire serves a different need for travelers who want the flexibility of true private aviation, anywhere and anytime they happen to be flying, combined with the potential to meet peers who share their pace and perspective. From seamless shared charters to member-only gatherings on the ground, Revaire is the first Members Club in the sky, putting community at the center of every journey.

Where do you see Revaire in five years from now?

Five years from now, we see Revaire becoming the ultimate symbol of modern luxury in motion, the place the next generation of high-impact people turns to when they want to fly with convenience and more importantly, connect.

Every cabin becomes a unique place where founders, executives, athletes, artists, and beyond can trade ideas, or travel in solitude, while reclaiming the one thing none of us can create more of – time. We will be moving dozens of shared charters a day and quietly adding new member-only experiences that follow the same ethos of frictionless access and genuine community.

Would you like to name a mentor who keeps inspiring you in your career?

My father, Jon, has been my enduring mentor. He’s instilled in me a passionate work ethic, punctuality, and perseverance, yet always reminds me that when you truly love what you do it never feels like work. His example pushes me to pursue that same passion every day and helps shape my growth as a leader while we build Revaire into the vibrant community and lifestyle we envision.
