FlyJets CEO Jessica Fisher said flying private can be affordable.
  • Jessica Fisher, FlyJets' CEO, says people can fly private for cheaper by booking "empty legs."
  • The startup developed a "fly empty" concept to match customers flying opposite routes.
  • Fisher says it's more affordable for customers and allows operators to generate more revenue.

While flying private is largely reserved for the rich and famous, FlyJets, an aviation-charter marketplace, says it can offer the average traveler a cheaper way to experience the luxury.
