Company Overview

 

Our business strategy combines concepts from fractional jet and charter jet programs with innovations in artificial intelligence, also referred to herein is “AI.” Our purposeful enhancement of price discovery has the potential to produce fairer and more inclusive results for aircraft owners and travelers alike.

 

We formed the Company on June 4, 2018. We developed and, in September 2019, launched our booking platform represented by our iOS app JetToken (the “App”), which originally functioned as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers. Following our acquisition of HondaJets, we began selling jet cards and fractional ownership interests in our aircraft. In 2023, we launched an AI-enhanced booking app called CharterGPT. Beginning in 2023, we launched our Jet.AI Operator Platform to provide a B2B software platform for SaaS products. Currently we offer the following SaaS software to aircraft owners and operators generally:

 

	●	Reroute AI: recycles aircraft waiting to return to base into prospective new charter bookings to destinations within specific distances; and
	●	DynoFlight: enables aircraft operators to estimate aircraft emissions then purchase carbon removal credits via our DynoFlight API.

 

We have also established a specific version of a private jet by-the-seat booking tool for the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Cirrus Aviation via 380 Software LLC. 380 Software LLC is a by-the-seat charter joint venture between us and Cirrus Aviation.

 

Our strategy involves expanding our fleet of aircraft with larger aircraft capable of traveling longer distances, developing a national jet card program based on third party aircraft, further enhancing the AI functionality of Charter GPT, and expanding upon our B2B software offerings.

 

The Business Combination

 

On August 10, 2023, Jet.AI Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Oxbridge Acquisition Corp.), consummated a “Business Combination” pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 24, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2023, by and among Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Oxbridge”), the Merger Subs and Jet Token. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Oxbridge redomiciled as a Delaware corporation and was immediately renamed Jet.AI, Inc., and promptly thereafter, (a) OXAC Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“First Merger Sub”) merged with and into Jet Token with Jet Token surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet.AI Inc.; and (b) Jet Token merged with and into Summerlin Aviation LLC (f/k/a OXAC Merger Sub II, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“Second Merger Sub”) (each merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

 

The Business Combination resulted in certain securities of Oxbridge and Jet Token being converted into securities of the Company. As a result, Jet.AI Inc. has one class of common stock, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “JTAI”, and two classes of warrants; the Jet.AI Warrants and the Merger Consideration Warrants, which are listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “JTAIW” and “JTAIZ”, respectively. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Business Combination” for a further discussion of the terms of the Business Combination.

 

 

Certain Financing Arrangements

 

Prior to and in connection with the Business Combination, we entered into certain financing arrangements intended to provide us with equity-based financing, including (i) a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2022 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), entered into by Jet Token and GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (together with GEM Yield LLC SCS, “GEM”), which was automatically assigned to the Company upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”); and (ii) a Forward Purchase Agreement entered into on August 6, 2023 (as amended on August 31, 2023 and October 2, 2023) with (a) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (b) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and (c) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, “Meteora”) for OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions. In connection with the Business Combination, we also entered into settlement agreements with Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter for the Company’s initial public offering (“Maxim”), and with OAC Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor of Oxbridge, each providing for the issuance of equity in satisfaction of Oxbridge payment obligations.

 

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overview” for a further discussion of the terms of these financing arrangements and other recent financing transactions.

 

The Ionic Transaction

 

General

 

On March 28, 2024, Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and a number of other transaction documents described below for a private placement with Ionic Ventures, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Ionic,” or the “Investor”), which closed on March 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), which we collectively refer to as the “Ionic Transaction”.

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Investor (a) 150 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (b) a warrant to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Ionic Warrant”), at an exercise price of $10,000 per share, and (c) 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, not including customary placement fees and reimbursement of certain amounts payable to Maxim as placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the Ionic Transaction. This amount excludes the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Ionic Warrant. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, and other general corporate purposes. The Company has not allocated specific amounts of net proceeds for any of these purposes.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

On March 28, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which provides for the issuance of up to 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks pari passu with the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and senior to all other capital stock of the Company.

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock converts into a number of shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, including a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (calculated in accordance with the rules promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), which can be adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice by the Investor. Prior to the approval by our stockholders of the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (the “Conversion Approval”), we may not convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued exceeds 19.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

 

Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph and provided there is an effective registration statement covering the Investor’s resale of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on or prior to the tenth trading day after the issuance date of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing the conversion amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock by the then conversion price. The conversion amount is equal to the stated value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which is $10,000, plus any additional amounts and late charges calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. The conversion price is equal to 90% (or, in the case of a delisting, 80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock over a period beginning on the trading day after we deliver shares of Common Stock upon such conversion to the Investor and ending on the trading day on which the aggregate dollar trading volume of our Common Stock exceeds seven times the applicable conversion amount, subject to a five trading day minimum period for such calculation, and subject to certain adjustments.

 

If certain defined “triggering events” defined in the Certificate of Designations occur, such as a breach of the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement, suspension of trading, or our failure to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock when a conversion right is exercised, then we may be required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash at 110% of the stated value.

 

The foregoing description of the Series B Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.5 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Other Transaction Documents

 

The Ionic Warrant exercise price is initially set at $10,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock of, subject to adjustment for certain events, such as stock splits, issuance of additional shares as a dividend or otherwise. If the Ionic Warrant is exercised in full for cash, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million. The Company cannot predict when or if the Ionic Warrant will be exercised. It is possible that the Ionic Warrant may never be exercised. At any time when the Ionic Warrant is exercisable for less than 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company has the right to redeem all or a portion of the Ionic Warrant by paying to the Investor in cash $100 per share of Series B Preferred Stock that would otherwise be issuable pursuant to the Ionic Warrant.

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to submit to its stockholders a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules at a special meeting of stockholders at the earliest practicable date after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. The Company entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Michael Winston, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, and the Sponsor, who together hold approximately 40% of the voting power of the Company as of the date of this prospectus, agreeing to vote in favor of the proposal. The Company intends to seek stockholder approval for the transaction at its annual meeting of stockholders, which is scheduled to take place on July 1, 2024, which is more than 90 days after the Closing Date. The Company has received the consent of the Investor to hold the meeting on that date. The Securities Purchase Agreement obligates the Company to reserve no less than 200% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, using an alternate conversion method (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company and the Investor have agreed that the Company Required Reserve Amount is 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In order to meet that obligation, the Company intends to seek stockholder approval to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 at its annual meeting of stockholders. If the Company receives such approval, it will be obligated to file another registration statement to include the remaining 33,250,000 shares to meet the Required Reserve Amount.

 

 

Additionally, on March 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Ionic Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investor, which, among other things, provides that the Company will register the resale of the 250,000 shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock underlying the Ionic Warrant. The Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC no later than 30 days following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 but in no event later than May 15, 2024 (the “Filing Failure”, and such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement and any amendment declared effective no later than the earlier of the (a) 60th calendar day following such filing (or, if such registration statement is subject to a full review by the SEC, the 100th calendar day after such filing) and (b) 2nd business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). The Company is filing this registration statement on Form S-1 pursuant to the foregoing obligation. If this registration statement is not filed by the Filing Deadline, the Company is obligated pay to the Investor a fee of $100,000 (the “Filing Failure Fee”). At the option of the Company, the Company may issue to the Investor 100,000 shares of Common Stock (“Filing Default Shares”) in lieu of paying the Filing Failure Fee in cash, not later than two (2) trading days after such Filing Failure. In addition, if this registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company is obligated pay to the Investor a fee of $100,000 (the “Effectiveness Default Fee”). At the option of the Company, the Company may issue to the Investor 100,000 shares of Common Stock (“Effectiveness Default Shares”) in lieu of paying the Effectiveness Default Fee in cash, but not later than two (2) Trading Days after such Effectiveness Deadline.

 

The Company has also agreed to, among other things, indemnify the Investor, its members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives and persons who control the Investor under the registration statement from certain liabilities and pay all fees and expenses (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions) incident to the Company’s obligations under the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

Copies of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Ionic Warrant and the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.30, 10.31, 4.5 and 10.32, respectively, to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The above summary of such agreements and documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements and are incorporated herein by reference herein.

 

Nasdaq Compliance

 

Our Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “JTAI”. On December 1, 2023, the Company received a notification letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its amount of stockholders’ equity has fallen below the $10 million required minimum for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, and that as of September 30, 2023, the Company does not meet The Nasdaq Global Market alternative listing criteria for the Market Value standard or the Total Assets / Total Revenues standard. The Letter further noted that the Company may consider applying to transfer the Company’s securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”), which would require the Company to, among other things, meet the Capital Market’s continued listing requirements. In accordance with Nasdaq rules and as stated in the Letter, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance, involving a proposed transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Markets with lower listing requirements, as well as a number of capital raising measures that the Company intended to take. Nasdaq provided written confirmation of its acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan and granted the Company an extension through May 29, 2024 to evidence completion of its plan.

 

On April 15, 2024, the Company received an additional notification letter (the “Additional Letter”) from Nasdaq that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s Common Stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 14, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. The Company’s failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its Common Stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

 

Although the Company believes it will be able to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Markets continued listing requirements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), or maintain compliance with any other listing requirements within the time frame required by Nasdaq or at all. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy the requirements necessary to transfer the listing of its Common Stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market Nasdaq’s determination that we fail to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

 

Risk Factors

 

Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus immediately following this prospectus summary. These risks include the following:

 

	●	The Company is an early-stage company with a limited operating history.
	●	The Company may not be able to continue to operate its business if it is not successful in securing additional fundraising and, as a result, may not be able to continue as a going concern.
	●	The Company may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategies.
	●	The Company’s operating results are expected to be difficult to predict based on a number of factors that also will affect its long-term performance.
	●	If the Company cannot internally or externally finance its aircraft or generate sufficient funds to make payments to external financing sources, the Company may not succeed.
	●	The Company may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.
	●	The Company’s business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties.
	●	Demand for the Company’s products and services may decline due to factors beyond its control.
	●	The Company faces a high level of competition with numerous market participants with greater financial resources and operating experience.
	●	Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control including: air traffic congestion at airports; airport slot restrictions; air traffic control inefficiencies; natural disasters; adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes or blizzards; increased and changing security measures; changing regulatory and governmental requirements; new or changing travel-related taxes; or the outbreak of disease; any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
	●	The Company’s business is primarily focused on certain targeted geographic regions, making it vulnerable to risks associated with having geographically concentrated operations.
	●	The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain and retain customers.
	●	The supply of pilots to the airline industry is limited and may negatively affect the Company’s operations and financial condition. Increases in labor costs may adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
	●	The Company is exposed to operational disruptions due to maintenance.
	●	Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
	●	If efforts to continue to build a strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, the Company may not be able to attract or retain members, and its operating results may be adversely affected.
	●	The demand for the Company’s services is subject to seasonal fluctuations.
	●	If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares, limit our ability to access existing liquidity facilities and make obtaining future financing more difficult for us.
	●	Stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest due to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, especially since the Series B Preferred Stock has fluctuating conversion rates that are set at a discount to market prices of our shares of Common Stock during the period immediately following conversion.

 

 

	●	The issuances of additional shares of Common Stock under the Share Purchase Agreement and the GEM Warrant may result in dilution of future Jet.AI stockholders and have a negative impact on the market price of Common Stock.
	●	Certain existing stockholders purchased our securities at a price below the current trading price of such securities, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price.
	●	Sales of Common Stock, or the perception of such sales, by us or the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for Common Stock to decline and the Selling Stockholder still may receive significant proceeds.
	●	A significant portion of Jet.AI’s total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale following the consummation of the Business Combination, but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of the Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the information, documents or reports included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and, if applicable, any prospectus supplement or other offering materials, you should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. As a result, you could lose some or all of your investment in our Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or other factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may impair our business operations.

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

 

The Company is an early-stage company with a limited operating history.

 

The Company’s predecessor operating company Jet Token, Inc. was formed on June 4, 2018. Accordingly, the Company has a limited history upon which an investor can evaluate its performance and future prospects. The Company has a short history and a limited number of aircraft and related customers. The Company’s current and proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with newer enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as the Company reacts to developments in its markets, difficulty in managing its growth and the entry of competitors into the market. The Company has incurred net losses to date and anticipates continuing net losses for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot assure you that it will be profitable in the foreseeable future or generate sufficient profits to pay dividends. If the Company does achieve profitability, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to sustain or increase such profitability. The Company has not consistently generated positive cash flow from operations, and it cannot be certain that it will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future. To achieve and sustain profitability, the Company must accomplish numerous objectives, including broadening and stabilizing its sources of revenue and increasing the number of paying members to its service. Accomplishing these objectives may require significant capital investments. The Company cannot be assured that it will be able to achieve these objectives.

 

The Company may not be able to continue to operate its business if it is not successful in securing additional fundraising and, as a result, may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is dependent on funds from its operations, proceeds from its financing arrangements and additional fundraising in order to sustain its ongoing operations. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. As a result of these recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from operating activities and the need for additional capital there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in its report on the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), which contemplate that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result if it is unable to continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. In such circumstances, the Company may have to significantly reduce its operations or delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of its products, seek alternative financing arrangements, declare bankruptcy or terminate its operations entirely.

 

The Company may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategies.

 

The Company’s growth strategies include, among other things, expanding its addressable market by opening up private aviation to non-members through our marketplace, expanding into new domestic markets and developing adjacent businesses. The Company faces numerous challenges in implementing its growth strategies, including its ability to execute on market, business, product/service and geographic expansions. The Company’s strategies for growth are dependent on, among other things, its ability to expand existing products and service offerings and launch new products and service offerings. Although the Company devotes significant financial and other resources to the expansion of its products and service offerings, its efforts may not be commercially successful or achieve the desired results. The Company’s financial results and its ability to maintain or improve its competitive position will depend on its ability to effectively gauge the direction of its key marketplaces and successfully identify, develop, market and sell new or improved products and services in these changing marketplaces. The Company’s inability to successfully implement its growth strategies could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations and any assumptions underlying estimates of expected cost savings or expected revenues may be inaccurate.

 

The Company’s operating results are expected to be difficult to predict based on a number of factors that also will affect its long-term performance.

 

The Company expects its operating results to fluctuate significantly in the future based on a variety of factors, many of which are outside its control and difficult to predict. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating results may not be a good indicator of its future or long-term performance. The following factors may affect the Company from period-to-period and may affect its long-term performance:

 

	●	the Company may fail to successfully execute its business, marketing and other strategies;
	●	the Company’s ability to grow complementary products and service offerings may be limited, which could negatively impact its growth rate and financial performance;
	●	the Company may be unable to attract new customers and/or retain existing customers;

 

 

	●	the Company may require additional capital to finance strategic investments and operations, pursue business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, and the Company cannot be sure that additional financing will be available;
	●	the Company’s historical growth rates may not be reflective of its future growth;
	●	the Company’s business and operating results may be significantly impacted by general economic conditions, the health of the U.S. aviation industry and risks associated with its aviation assets;
	●	litigation or investigations involving the Company could result in material settlements, fines or penalties and may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations;
	●	existing or new adverse regulations or interpretations thereof applicable to the Company’s industry may restrict its ability to expand or to operate its business as intended and may expose the Company to fines and other penalties;
	●	the occurrence of geopolitical events such as war, terrorism, civil unrest, political instability, environmental or climatic factors, natural disaster, pandemic or epidemic outbreak, public health crisis and general economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business;
	●	some of the Company’s potential losses may not be covered by insurance, and the Company may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage; and
	●	the Company is potentially subject to taxation-related risks in multiple jurisdictions, and changes in tax laws could have a material adverse effect on its business, cash flow, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The Company’s business is primarily focused on certain targeted geographic regions, making it vulnerable to risks associated with having geographically concentrated operations.

 

Jet.AI’s customer base is primarily concentrated in certain geographic regions of the United States. As a result, Jet.AI’s business, financial condition and results of operations are susceptible to regional economic downturns and other regional factors, including state regulations and budget constraints and severe weather conditions, catastrophic events or other disruptions. As Jet.AI seeks to expand in its existing markets, opportunities for growth within these regions will become more limited and the geographic concentration of the Company’s business may increase.

 

If the Company cannot internally or externally finance its aircraft or generate sufficient funds to make payments to external financing sources, the Company may not succeed.

 

As is customary in the aviation industry, the Company is reliant on external financing for the acquisition of its aircraft and is likely to need additional financing in the future in order to grow its fleet. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue or other funding to make payments on this lease arrangement, the lessor may take back the aircraft, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and reputation. Furthermore, if the Company does not have access to external financing for future aircraft, for whatever reason, including reasons relating to the Company’s business or prospects or the broader economy, the Company may not be in a position to grow and/or survive.

 

The Company may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.

 

The Company anticipates needing access to credit in order to support its working capital requirements as it grows. Interest rates are rising, and it is a difficult environment for obtaining credit on favorable terms. If the Company cannot obtain credit when needed, the Company may issue debt or equity securities to raise funds, modify its growth plans, or take some other action. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results and convertible debt securities could result in diluting your interest in the Company. If the Company is unable to find additional capital on favorable terms, then it is possible that it will choose to cease its sales activity. In that case, the only asset remaining to generate a return on your investment could be the Company’s intellectual property. Even if the Company is not forced to cease its sales activity, the unavailability of capital could result in the Company performing below expectations, which could adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

 

The Company’s business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties.

 

The Company has relied on a third-party app developer to develop the initial versions of its App and the Company may continue to rely on third parties for future development of portions of any new or revised App. In place of a third-party app developer, the Company relies both on internal development and freelance contractors supervised by the Company’s Chief Technology Officer. The Company intends to continue to build its internal development team and to gradually decrease its reliance on external contractors for app development. If there were delays or complications in the further development of the App, this might result in difficulties that include but are not limited to the following:

 

	●	Increased Development Costs: Extended development timelines can result in higher costs associated with personnel, software licenses, hardware, and other development resources. Delays may require additional investments to address technical issues, hire more personnel, or acquire additional technology or expertise to expedite the development process. These increased costs may negatively impact our financial performance and profitability.
	●	Missed Time-to-Market Opportunities: Delays in App development may cause us to miss strategic market windows, limiting our ability to capture early adopters and gain a competitive advantage. Competitors may seize the opportunity to launch similar apps, potentially eroding our market share and diminishing our growth prospects. Our ability to generate revenue and establish a strong market presence may be compromised as a result.
	●	Customer Dissatisfaction and Loss of Trust: If delays or complications prolong the release of our App, it may lead to customer frustration and disappointment. Anticipation for the App’s availability may diminish, and users may turn to alternative solutions or competitors. Customer dissatisfaction can harm our reputation and brand image, resulting in a loss of trust and reducing customer loyalty and engagement with our products and services.
	●	Negative Impact on Revenue and Financial Performance: The delay in launching our App may impact our revenue projections, financial forecasts, and investment plans. The inability to generate expected revenue streams can adversely affect our cash flow, profitability, and ability to meet financial obligations or raise additional capital. Our valuation and attractiveness to investors may also be negatively impacted.
	●	Opportunity Costs and Competitive Disadvantage: Time spent on addressing delays and complications diverts management’s attention and resources away from other strategic initiatives or product developments. We may miss out on potential partnership opportunities, market expansions, or product enhancements, resulting in missed revenue and growth opportunities. Competitors who successfully launch their apps within a shorter timeframe may gain a competitive advantage over us.
	●	Loss of Investor Confidence: Extended delays or ongoing complications may erode investor confidence in our ability to execute our business plan successfully. Investors may question our management’s capability, resulting in reduced investor interest, difficulty in raising funds, and a potential decline in our stock price. The loss of investor confidence can have broader implications for our overall financial stability and long-term viability.

 

The Company also expects to rely heavily on its existing operating partner, Cirrus Aviation Services, to maintain and operate the Company’s leased aircraft for charter services and the Company will rely on third party operators when its clients book flights through its platform with those operators. Both the Company and Cirrus actively book charters onto the Company’s aircraft. Cirrus books charters via its 24-hour charter department and the Company books charters via its App. The failure of these third parties to perform these roles properly may result in damage to the Company’s reputation, loss of clients, potential litigation and other costs. The Company may also experience delays, defects, errors, or other problems with their work that could have an adverse effect on its results and its ability to achieve profitability.

 

 

The Company relies on third-party Internet, mobile, and other products and services to deliver its mobile and web applications and flight management system offerings to customers, and any disruption of, or interference with, the Company’s use of those services could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and customers.

 

The Company’s platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to its success. That platform is dependent on the performance and reliability of Internet, mobile, and other infrastructure services that are not under the Company’s control. While the Company has engaged reputable vendors to provide these products or services, the Company does not have control over the operations of the facilities or systems used by its third-party providers. These facilities and systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, human error, terrorist attacks, power outages, pandemics, and similar events or acts of misconduct. In addition, any changes in one of the Company’s third-party service provider’s service levels may adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet the requirements of its customers. While the Company believes it has implemented reasonable backup and disaster recovery plans, the Company has experienced, and expects that in the future it will experience, interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, capacity constraints, or external factors beyond the Company’s control. Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of the Company’s offerings and could disrupt the Company’s customers’ businesses. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times, as the Company expands its products and service offerings. Any negative publicity or user dissatisfaction arising from these disruptions could harm the Company’s reputation and brand, may adversely affect the usage of the Company’s offerings, and could harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

The Company relies on third parties maintaining open marketplaces to distribute its mobile and web applications.

 

The success of the Company’s App relies in part on third parties maintaining open marketplaces, including the Apple App Store and Google Play, which make our App available for download. The Company cannot be assured that the marketplaces through which it distributes its App will maintain their current structures or that such marketplaces will not charge the Company fees to list its App for download.

 

The Company may be unable to adequately protect its intellectual property interests or may be found infringing on the intellectual property interests of others.

 

The Company’s intellectual property includes its trademarks, domain names, website, mobile and web applications, software (including our proprietary algorithms and data analytics engines), copyrights, trade secrets, and inventions (whether or not patentable). The Company believes that its intellectual property plays an important role in protecting its brand and the competitiveness of its business. If the Company does not adequately protect its intellectual property, its brand and reputation may be adversely affected and its ability to compete effectively may be impaired.

 

The Company protects its intellectual property through a combination of trademarks, domain names and other measures. The Company has registered its trademarks and domain names that it currently uses in the United States. The Company’s efforts may not be sufficient or effective. Further, the Company may be unable to prevent competitors from acquiring trademarks or domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of its intellectual property. In addition, it may be possible for other parties to copy or reverse engineer the Company’s App or other technology offerings. Moreover, the Company’s proprietary algorithms, data analytics engines, or other software or trade secrets may be compromised by third parties or the Company’s employees, which could cause the Company to lose any competitive advantage it may have from them.

 

In addition, the Company’s business is subject to the risk of third parties infringing its intellectual property. The Company may not always be successful in securing protection for, or identifying or stopping infringements of, its intellectual property and it may need to resort to litigation in the future to enforce its rights in this regard. Any such litigation could result in significant costs and a diversion of resources. Further, such enforcement efforts may result in a ruling that the Company’s intellectual property rights are unenforceable.

 

Moreover, companies in the aviation and technology industries are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violations. As the Company expands and raises its profile, the likelihood of intellectual property claims being asserted against it grows. Further, the Company may acquire or introduce new technology offerings, which may increase the Company’s exposure to patent and other intellectual property claims. Any intellectual property claims asserted against the Company, whether or not having any merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to settle or litigate. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending such a claim, it may be required to pay substantial damages or could be subject to an injunction or agree to a settlement that may prevent it from using its intellectual property or making its offerings available to customers. Some intellectual property claims may require the Company to seek a license to continue its operations, and those licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or may significantly increase the Company’s operating expenses. If the Company is unable to procure a license, it may be required to develop non-infringing technological alternatives, which could require significant time and expense. Any of these events could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or operations.

 

 

A delay or failure to identify and devise, invest in and implement certain important technology, business, and other initiatives could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In order to operate its business, achieve its goals, and remain competitive, the Company continuously seeks to identify and devise, invest in, implement and pursue technology, business and other important initiatives, such as those relating to aircraft fleet structuring, business processes, information technology, initiatives seeking to ensure high quality service experience, and others.

 

The Company’s business and the aircraft the Company operates are characterized by changing technology, introductions and enhancements of models of aircraft and services and shifting customer demands, including technology preferences. The Company’s future growth and financial performance will depend in part upon its ability to develop, market and integrate new services and to accommodate the latest technological advances and customer preferences. In addition, the introduction of new technologies or services that compete with the Company’s product and services could result in its revenues decreasing over time. If the Company is unable to upgrade its operations or fleet with the latest technological advances in a timely manner, or at all, its business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

 

The Company is dependent on its information systems which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other events.

 

The Company’s operations are dependent on its information systems and the information collected, processed, stored, and handled by these systems. The Company relies heavily on its computer systems to manage its client account balances, booking, pricing, processing and other processes. The Company receives, retains and transmits certain confidential information, including personally identifiable information that its clients provide. In addition, for these operations, the Company depends in part on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks to charter operators. The Company’s information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches, coordinated cyber-attacks, vandalism, catastrophic events and human error. If the Company’s platform is hacked, these funds could be at risk of being stolen which would damage the Company’s reputation and likely its business. Any significant disruption or cyber-attacks on the Company’s information systems, particularly those involving confidential information being accessed, obtained, damaged, or used by unauthorized or improper persons, could harm the Company’s reputation and expose it to regulatory or legal actions and adversely affect its business and its financial results.

 

Because the Company’s software could be used to collect and store personal information, privacy concerns in the territories in which the Company operates could result in additional costs and liabilities to the Company or inhibit sales of its software.

 

The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information and breach notification procedures. The Company is also required to comply with laws, rules and regulations relating to data security. Interpretation of these laws, rules and regulations and their application to the Company’s software and services in applicable jurisdictions is ongoing and cannot be fully determined at this time.

 

In the United States, these include rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) and other state and federal laws relating to privacy and data security. By way of example, the CCPA requires covered businesses to provide new disclosures to California residents, provide them new ways to opt-out of certain disclosures of personal information, and allows for a new cause of action for data breaches. It includes a framework that includes potential statutory damages and private rights of action. There is some uncertainty as to how the CCPA, and similar privacy laws emerging in other states, could impact the Company’s business as it depends on how such laws will be interpreted. As the Company expands its operations, compliance with privacy laws may increase its operating costs.

 

The Company may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it becomes profitable.

 

The Company may not accurately anticipate how quickly it may use its funds and whether these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability.

 

 

Jet.AI is subject to risks related to taxation in the United States.

 

Significant judgments based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations are required in determining Jet.AI’s provision for income taxes. Jet.AI’s effective income tax rate could be adversely affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in existing tax policies, laws, regulations or rates, changes in the level of non-deductible expenses (including share-based compensation), changes in the location of Jet.AI’s operations, changes in Jet.AI’s future levels of research and development spending, mergers and acquisitions or the results of examinations by various tax authorities. Although Jet.AI believes its tax estimates are reasonable, if the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority disagrees with the positions taken on its tax returns, Jet.AI could have additional tax liability, including interest and penalties. If material, payment of such additional amounts upon final adjudication of any disputes could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

 

Changes to applicable tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect Jet.AI’s business and future profitability.

 

One of the Company’s predecessors, Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., was organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Jet.AI is a U.S. corporation and thus subject to U.S. corporate income tax on its worldwide income. Further, since Jet.AI’s operations and customers are located throughout the United States, Jet.AI is subject to various U.S. state and local taxes. U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws, policies, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to Jet.AI and may have an adverse effect on its business and future profitability.

 

For example, several tax proposals have been set forth that would, if enacted, make significant changes to U.S. tax laws. Such proposals include an increase in the U.S. income tax rate applicable to corporations (such as Jet.AI) from 21% to 28%. Congress may consider, and could include, some or all of these proposals in connection with tax reform that may be undertaken. It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect. The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals and other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect Jet.AI’s business and future profitability.

 

As a result of plans to expand Jet.AI’s business operations, including to jurisdictions in which tax laws may not be favorable, its obligations may change or fluctuate, become significantly more complex or become subject to greater risk of examination by taxing authorities, any of which could adversely affect Jet.AI’s after-tax profitability and financial results.

 

In the event that Jet.AI’s business expands domestically or internationally, its effective tax rates may fluctuate widely in the future. Future effective tax rates could be affected by operating losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recorded under GAAP, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws. Factors that could materially affect Jet.AI’s future effective tax rates include, but are not limited to: (a) changes in tax laws or the regulatory environment, (b) changes in accounting and tax standards or practices, (c) changes in the composition of operating income by tax jurisdiction and (d) pre-tax operating results of Jet.AI’s business.

 

Additionally, Jet.AI may be subject to significant income, withholding, and other tax obligations in the United States and may become subject to taxation in numerous additional U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to income, operations and subsidiaries related to those jurisdictions. Jet.AI’s after-tax profitability and financial results could be subject to volatility or be affected by numerous factors, including (a) the availability of tax deductions, credits, exemptions, refunds and other benefits to reduce tax liabilities, (b) changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, (c) the expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances, (d) the tax treatment of stock-based compensation, (e) changes in the relative amount of earnings subject to tax in the various jurisdictions, (f) the potential business expansion into, or otherwise becoming subject to tax in, additional jurisdictions, (g) changes to existing intercompany structure (and any costs related thereto) and business operations, (h) the extent of intercompany transactions and the extent to which taxing authorities in relevant jurisdictions respect those intercompany transactions, and (i) the ability to structure business operations in an efficient and competitive manner. Outcomes from audits or examinations by taxing authorities could have an adverse effect on Jet.AI’s after-tax profitability and financial condition. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service and several foreign tax authorities have increasingly focused attention on intercompany transfer pricing with respect to sales of products and services and the use of intangibles. Tax authorities could disagree with Jet.AI’s intercompany charges, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing or other matters and assess additional taxes. If Jet.AI does not prevail in any such disagreements, Jet.AI’s profitability may be affected.

 

Jet.AI’s after-tax profitability and financial results may also be adversely affected by changes in relevant tax laws and tax rates, treaties, regulations, administrative practices and principles, judicial decisions and interpretations thereof, in each case, possibly with retroactive effect.

 

 

Jet.AI’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

 

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) to offset future taxable income. The limitations apply if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period. If the Company has experienced an ownership change at any time since its incorporation, Jet.AI may be subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its existing NOLs and other tax attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, future changes in Jet.AI’s stock ownership, which may be outside of Jet.AI’s control, may trigger an ownership change. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit Jet.AI’s use of accumulated state tax attributes. As a result, even if Jet.AI earns net taxable income in the future, its ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset such taxable income or tax liability may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future income tax liability to Jet.AI.

 

Jet.AI’s sole material asset is its direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries and, accordingly, Jet.AI will be dependent upon distributions from its subsidiaries to pay taxes and cover its corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on the Common Stock.

 

Jet.AI is a holding company and it has no material assets other than its direct and indirect equity interests in its subsidiaries. Jet.AI will have no independent means of generating revenue. To the extent Jet.AI’s subsidiaries have available cash, Jet.AI will cause its subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to pay taxes, cover Jet.AI’s corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on the Common Stock. To the extent that Jet.AI needs funds and its subsidiaries fail to generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to Jet.AI or are restricted from making such distributions or payments under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of their financing arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, Jet.AI’s liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Operating Environment

 

Demand for the Company’s product and services may decline due to factors beyond its control.

 

Demand for private jet charters may be negatively impacted by factors affecting air travel generally, such as adverse weather conditions, an outbreak of a contagious disease and other natural events, terrorism and increased security screening requirements.

 

In particular, the recurrence of a pandemic, whether COVID-19 or otherwise, may result in a decline in air travel. Additionally, the reimposition of travel restrictions and other measures intended to contain the spread of any such virus may contribute to a decline in demand for air travel. If travel remains in a general decline for a significant period of time, the Company may be unable to compete with more established operators and may not be able to achieve profitability in the medium term or at all.

 

More broadly, business jet travel is highly correlated to the performance of the economy, and an economic downturn, such as the current economic environment, which has been adversely affected by high rates of inflation, increasing interest rates, and low consumer sentiment, is likely to have a direct impact on the use of business jets. The Company’s customers may consider private air travel through its products and services to be a luxury item, especially when compared to commercial air travel. As a result, any economic downturn which has an adverse effect on the Company’s customers’ spending habits could cause them to travel less frequently and, to the extent they travel, to travel using commercial air carriers or other means considered to be more economical than the Company’s products and services. For example, beginning in 2008 and in connection with weakened macroeconomic conditions, the corporate and executive jet aviation industry, and companies that utilize corporate jets, experienced intensified political and media scrutiny. It is likely that the current economic downturn will impact demand for private jet travel for some time.

 

Any of these factors that cause the demand for private jet travel to decline may also result in delays that could reduce the attractiveness of private air charter travel versus other means of transportation, particularly for shorter distance travel, which represents our primary market currently. Delays also frustrate passengers, affecting the Company’s reputation and potentially reducing fleet utilization and charter bookings as a result of flight cancellations and increase costs. The Company may experience decreased demand, as well as a loss of reputation, in the event of an accident involving one of its aircraft or an aircraft booked through our platform or any actual or alleged misuse of its platform or aircraft by customers in violation of law. Demand for the Company’s product and services may also decline due to actions that increase the cost of private air charter travel versus other forms of transportation, particularly efforts aimed at addressing climate change such as carbon tax initiatives or other actions. Any of the foregoing circumstances or events which reduced the demand for private jet charters could negatively impact the Company’s ability to establish its business and achieve profitability.

 

 

The Company faces a high level of competition with numerous market participants with greater financial resources and operating experience.

 

The private air travel industry is extraordinarily competitive. Factors that affect competition in this industry include price, reliability, safety, regulations, professional reputation, aircraft availability, equipment and quality, consistency and ease of service, willingness and ability to serve specific airports or regions, and investment requirements. The Company plans to compete against private jet charter and fractional jet companies as well as business jet charter companies. Both the private jet charter companies and the business jet charter companies have numerous competitive advantages that enable them to attract customers. Jet.AI’s access to a smaller aircraft fleet and regional focus puts it at a competitive disadvantage, particularly with respect to its appeal to business travelers who want to travel overseas.

 

The fractional private jet companies and many of the business jet charter companies have access to larger fleets of aircraft and have greater financial resources, which would permit them to more effectively service customers. Due to the Company’s relatively small size, it is more susceptible to their competitive activities, which could prevent the Company from attaining the level of sales required to sustain profitable operations.

 

Recent consolidation in the industry, such as VistaJet’s acquisitions of XOJET and JetSmarter and Wheels Up’s acquisition of Delta Private Jets as well as Gama Aviation, a business jet services company, and increased consolidation in the future could further intensify the competitive environment the Company faces.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not be successful in capturing a share of our present or potential customer base. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control including: air traffic congestion at airports; airport slot restrictions; air traffic control inefficiencies; natural disasters; adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes or blizzards; increased and changing security measures; changing regulatory and governmental requirements; new or changing travel-related taxes; or the outbreak of disease; any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Like other aviation companies, the Company’s business is affected by factors beyond its control, including air traffic congestion at airports, airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, new or changing travel-related taxes, or the outbreak of disease. Factors that cause flight delays frustrate passengers and increase operating costs and decrease revenues, which in turn could adversely affect profitability. In the United States, the federal government singularly controls all U.S. airspace, and aviation operators are completely dependent on the FAA to operate that airspace in a safe, efficient and affordable manner. The air traffic control system, which is operated by the FAA, faces challenges in managing the growing demand for U.S. air travel. U.S. air-traffic controllers often rely on outdated technologies that routinely overwhelm the system and compel aviation operators to fly inefficient, indirect routes resulting in delays and increased operational cost. In addition, there are currently proposals before Congress that could potentially lead to the privatization of the United States’ air traffic control system, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.

 

Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, winter snowstorms or earthquakes, can cause flight cancellations or significant delays. Cancellations or delays due to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, air traffic control problems or inefficiencies, breaches in security or other factors may affect the Company to a greater degree than its competitors who may be able to recover more quickly from these events, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition to a greater degree than other air carriers. Any general reduction in passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

 

The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain and retain customers.

 

The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, including catastrophic disasters, crashes, mechanical failures and collisions, which may result in loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property and equipment. The Company may experience accidents in the future. These risks could endanger the safety of its customers, personnel, third parties, equipment, cargo and other property (both the Company’s and that of third parties), as well as the environment. If any of these events were to occur, the Company could experience loss of revenue, termination of customer contracts, higher insurance rates, litigation, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions (including potential grounding of the Company’s fleet and suspension or revocation of its operating authorities) and damage to its reputation and customer relationships. In addition, to the extent an accident occurs with an aircraft the Company operates or charters, the Company could be held liable for resulting damages, which may involve claims from injured passengers and survivors of deceased passengers. There can be no assurance that the amount of the Company’s insurance coverage available in the event of such losses would be adequate to cover such losses, or that the Company would not be forced to bear substantial losses from such events, regardless of its insurance coverage.

 

Moreover, any aircraft accident or incident, even if fully insured, and whether involving the Company or other private aircraft operators, could create a public perception that the Company is less safe or reliable than other private aircraft operators, which could cause customers to lose confidence and switch to other private aircraft operators or other means of transportation. In addition, any aircraft accident or incident, whether involving the Company or other private aircraft operators, could also affect the public’s view of industry safety, which may reduce the amount of trust by customers.

 

The Company incurs considerable costs to maintain the quality of (i) its safety program, (ii) its training programs and (iii) its fleet of aircraft. The Company cannot guarantee that these costs will not increase. Likewise, the Company cannot guarantee that its efforts will provide an adequate level of safety or an acceptable safety record. If the Company is unable to maintain an acceptable safety record, the Company may not be able to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The supply of pilots to the airline industry is limited and may negatively affect the Company’s operations and financial condition. Increases in labor costs may adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Company’s pilots are subject to stringent pilot qualification and crew member flight training standards , which among other things require minimum flight time for pilots and mandate strict rules to minimize pilot fatigue. The existence of such requirements effectively limits the supply of qualified pilot candidates and increases pilot salaries and related labor costs. A shortage of pilots would require the Company to further increase its labor costs, which would result in a material reduction in its earnings. Such requirements also impact pilot scheduling, work hours and the number of pilots required to be employed for the Company’s operations.

 

In addition, the Company’s operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted if it is unable to train pilots in a timely manner. Due to an industry-wide shortage of qualified pilots, driven by the flight hours requirements under the FAA qualification standards and attrition resulting from the hiring needs of other industry participants, pilot training timelines have significantly increased and stressed the availability of flight simulators, instructors and related training equipment. As a result, the training of the Company’s pilots may not be accomplished in a cost-efficient manner or in a manner timely enough to support the Company’s operational needs.

 

Pilot attrition may negatively affect the Company’s operations and financial condition.

 

In recent years, the Company has observed significant volatility in pilot attrition as a result of pilot wage and bonus increases at other industry participants and the growth of cargo, low-cost and ultra-low-cost airlines. If attrition rates are higher than the availability of replacement pilots, the Company’s operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The Company is exposed to operational disruptions due to maintenance.

 

The Company’s fleet requires regular maintenance work, which may cause operational disruption. The Company’s inability to perform timely maintenance and repairs can result in its aircraft being underutilized which could have an adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations. On occasion, airframe manufacturers and/or regulatory authorities require mandatory or recommended modifications to be made across a particular fleet which may mean having to ground a particular type of aircraft. This may cause operational disruption to and impose significant costs on the Company. Moreover, as the Company’s aircraft base increases, maintenance costs could potentially increase.

 

 

Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Fuel is essential to the operation of the Company’s aircraft and to the Company’s ability to carry out its transport services. Fuel costs are a key component of the Company’s operating expenses. A significant increase in fuel costs may negatively impact the Company’s revenue, margins, operating expenses and results of operations. While the Company may be able to pass increases in fuel costs on to its customers, increased fuel surcharges may affect the Company’s revenue and retention if a prolonged period of high fuel costs occurs. To the extent there is a significant increase in fuel costs that affects the amount the Company’s customers choose to fly, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If efforts to continue to build a strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, the Company may not be able to attract or retain members, and its operating results may be adversely affected.

 

The Company must continue to build and maintain strong brand identity for its products and services, which have expanded over time. The Company believes that strong brand identity will continue to be important in attracting members. If the Company’s efforts to promote and maintain its brand are not successful, the Company’s operating results and our ability to attract members and other customers may be adversely affected. From time to time, the Company’s members and other customers may express dissatisfaction with its products and service offerings, in part due to factors that could be outside of the Company’s control, such as the timing and availability of aircraft and service interruptions driven by prevailing political, regulatory, or natural conditions. To the extent dissatisfaction with the Company’s products and services is widespread or not adequately addressed, the Company’s brand may be adversely impacted and its ability to attract and retain members may be adversely affected. With respect to the Company’s planned expansion into additional markets, the Company will also need to establish its brand and to the extent it is not successful, the Company’s business in new markets would be adversely impacted.

 

Any failure to offer high-quality customer support may harm the Company’s relationships with its customers and could adversely affect the Company’s reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Through the Company’s marketing, advertising, and communications with its customers, the Company sets the tone for its brand as aspirational but also within reach. The Company’s strives to create high levels of customer satisfaction through the experience provided by its team and representatives. The ease and reliability of its offerings, including its ability to provide high-quality customer support, helps the Company attract and retain customers. The Company’s ability to provide effective and timely support is largely dependent on its ability to attract and retain skilled employees who can support the Company’s customers and are sufficiently knowledgeable about the Company’s product and services. As the Company continues to grow its business and improve its platform, it will face challenges related to providing quality support at an increased scale. Any failure to provide efficient customer support, or a market perception that the Company does not maintain high-quality support, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The demand for the Company’s services is subject to seasonal fluctuations.

 

Demand for the Company’s services will fluctuate over the course of the year and is higher in the summer season and during holiday periods. During periods of higher demand, the Company’s ability to provide agreed upon levels of service to its customers may deteriorate, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation and its ability to succeed.

 

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.

 

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. The Company’s business is subject to significant regulation by the FAA, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) as well as “know your customer” obligations and other laws and regulations. The laws and regulations concerning the selling of the Company’s product or services may change and if they do then the selling of the Company’s product or service may no longer be possible or profitable. In addition, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

 

 

The Company’s failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm its business.

 

The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to retain or attract highly qualified management, technical and other personnel. The Company may not be successful in retaining key personnel or in attracting other highly qualified personnel. If the Company is unable to retain or attract significant numbers of qualified management and other personnel, the Company may not be able to grow and expand its business.

 

Risks Relating to Ownership of Common Stock

 

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock, and Jet.AI does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock and currently intends to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of its business, other than mandatory dividend payments on its preferred stock, subject to Delaware law. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on Jet.AI’s financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of Jet.AI’s Common Stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company’s stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell shares at or above the price at which you purchase shares or realize any value on your warrants.

 

Fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of Common Stock could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.

 

Factors affecting the trading price of our Common Stock may include:

 

	●	the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this prospectus;
	●	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to Jet.AI;
	●	failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that Jet.AI provides to the public;
	●	issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts or changed recommendations for the industry in general;
	●	announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations, financings, or capital commitments;
	●	the volume of shares of Common Stock available for public sale;
	●	operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to Jet.AI;
	●	Jet.AI’s ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis;
	●	changes in laws and regulations affecting Jet.AI’s business;
	●	Jet.AI’s ability to meet compliance requirements;
	●	commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving Jet.AI;
	●	changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Jet.AI or the market in general;

 

 

	●	the timing and magnitude of investments in the growth of the business;
	●	actual or anticipated changes in laws and regulations;
	●	additions or departures of key management or other personnel;

 

	●	increased labor costs;
	●	disputes or other developments related to intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation;
	●	the ability to market new and enhanced solutions on a timely basis;
	●	sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock by Jet.AI’s directors, executive officers, significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur, including as a result of transactions under the Share Purchase Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement;
	●	trading volume of our Common Stock, including as a result of transactions under the Share Purchase Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement;
	●	changes in capital structure, including future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt and the terms thereof; and
	●	general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

 

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to Jet.AI could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Jet.AI’s securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

 

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and applicable laws could impair a takeover attempt.

 

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation afford certain rights and powers to the Board that could contribute to the delay or prevention of an acquisition that it deems undesirable. Any of the foregoing provisions and terms that have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our securities, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our securities.

 

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares, limit our ability to access existing liquidity facilities and make obtaining future financing more difficult for us.

 

Our Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “JTAI”. On December 1, 2023, the Company received a notification letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its amount of stockholders’ equity has fallen below the $10 million required minimum for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). The Company’s stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2023 was $(3,963,039). The Letter also noted that as of September 30, 2023, the Company does not meet The Nasdaq Global Market alternative listing criteria for the Market Value standard or the Total Assets / Total Revenues standard. The Letter further noted that the Company may consider applying to transfer the Company’s securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”), which would require the Company to, among other things, meet the Capital Market’s continued listing requirements.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq rules and as stated in the Letter, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance, involving a proposed transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Markets as well as a number of capital raising measures that the Company intended to take. Nasdaq provided written confirmation of its acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan and granted the Company an extension through May 29, 2024 to evidence completion of its plan.

 

 

On April 15, 2024, the Company received an additional notification letter (the “Additional Letter”) from Nasdaq that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 14, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. The Company’s failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its Common Stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

Although the Company believes it will be able to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Markets continued listing requirements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), or maintain compliance with any other listing requirements within the time frame required by Nasdaq or at all. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy the requirements necessary to transfer the listing of its Common Stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq’s determination that we fail to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

 

A delisting of our Common Stock and listed warrants and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our Common Stock and listed warrants; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock and listed warrants, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees. In addition, a delisting of our Common Stock would prevent us from being able to access financing under the Share Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, the Company may have to pay all or a portion of the $800,000 commitment fee due under the Share Purchase Agreement in cash if its shares are no longer listed. The Company may not have sufficient funds to be able to pay such fee. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

Stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest due to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, especially since the Series B Preferred Stock has fluctuating conversion rates that are set at a discount to market prices of our shares of Common Stock during the period immediately following conversion.

 

We have raised approximately $1.5 million in financing through the issuance of, among other securities, shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Ionic Transaction, and may issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon exercise of a warrant issued in the private placement for up to $15,000,000. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock automatically convert into shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations, by the 10^th trading day following their issuance at a conversion price based 90% of the trading price of our Common Stock, or 80% in the event we are delisted from Nasdaq. See “Prospectus Summary – The Ionic Transaction.” This could result in material dilution to existing stockholders of the Company. Because the conversion price is based upon the trading prices of our shares at the time of conversion, the number of shares into which the Series B Preferred Stock may be converted may increase without an upper bound. If the trading prices of our shares are low when the conversion price of the convertible debt is determined, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares to the converting holder, which could cause substantial dilution to our stockholders. In addition, if any or all of the holders Series B Preferred Stock convert and then sell our Common Stock, this could result in an imbalance of supply and demand for our Common Stock and reduce our stock price significantly. The further our stock price declines, the further the adjustment of the conversion price will fall and the greater the number of shares we will have to issue upon conversion, resulting in further dilution to our stockholders. Because a market price-based conversion formula can lead to dramatic stock price reductions and corresponding negative effects on both a company and its stockholders, convertible security financings with market price-based conversion ratios have colloquially been called “floorless,” “toxic,” and “death spiral,” convertibles.

 

 

The issuances of additional shares of Common Stock under the Share Purchase Agreement and the GEM Warrant may result in dilution of future Jet.AI stockholders and have a negative impact on the market price of Common Stock.

 

The proceeds from the Business Combination, Forward Purchase Agreement and our existing cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and we intend to draw on the Share Purchase Agreement to meet our cash needs. Further, our estimates may prove to be inaccurate, and we could spend our capital resources faster than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could also cause us to spend capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funding sooner than planned. To the extent this occurs, it could impose significant dilution on the Company’s stockholders.

 

In addition to shares to be sold to GEM upon a drawdown, the Share Purchase Agreement entitles GEM to receive (i) payment of a commitment fee of $800,000 payable in either cash or Common Stock and (ii) the GEM Warrant. The shares issuable pursuant to the GEM Warrant were calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the closing of the Business Combination, which calculation included shares issuable upon exercise of the JTAIW Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants, the Merger Consideration Warrants, Jet Token options and Jet Token RSU Awards. If the JTAIW Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants, Merger Consideration Warrants, Jet Token options and/or Jet Token RSU Awards are not exercised in full or at all, and GEM exercises the GEM Warrant, then GEM could hold significantly more than 6% of the outstanding Common Stock of Jet.AI on a non-diluted basis.

 

If the average closing price of Jet.AI’s Common Stock for the 10 trading days following the first anniversary of the date of listing is less than 90% of the then current exercise price of the GEM Warrant, then the exercise price of the GEM Warrant will be adjusted to 110% of our then current trading price.

 

The issuances of Common Stock pursuant to the GEM Warrant and the Share Purchase Agreement would result in dilution of future Jet.AI stockholders and could have a negative impact on the market price of Common Stock and Jet.AI’s ability to obtain additional financing. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overview – Share Purchase Agreement” for a description of the GEM Warrant.

 

A significant portion of Jet.AI’s total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale following the consummation of the Business Combination, but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of the Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

 

Oxbridge’s Sponsor holds approximately 45.5% of the outstanding Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements, the Founder Shares, as well as shares of Common Stock held by Michael Winston and George Murnane, the Interim CEO and Interim CFO of the Company, may not be transferred until the earlier to occur of (a) one year after the Closing or (b) the date after the Closing on which we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of stockholders having the right to exchange their stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

Certain existing stockholders purchased our securities at a price below the current trading price of such securities, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price.

 

Given the relatively lower purchase prices that some of our stockholders paid to acquire some of their securities compared to the current trading price of our shares of common stock, these stockholders in some instances may earn a positive rate of return on their investment, which may be a significant positive rate of return, depending on the market price of our shares of Common Stock at the time that such stockholders choose to sell their shares of Common Stock.

 

Public stockholders may not be able to experience the same positive rates of return on securities they purchase due to the low price at which some of our stockholders, particularly the Sponsor and Meteora, acquired shares of our Common Stock or the prices at which GEM may receive shares at the time of a drawdown under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

 

Sales of Common Stock, or the perception of such sales, by us, our significant stockholders or the Selling Stockholder in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for Common Stock to decline and the Selling Stockholder may receive significant proceeds.

 

The sale of shares of Common Stock in the public market or otherwise, particularly sales by the Sponsor and our officers or directors following the expiration of lock-up restrictions expiring in August 2024, by the Selling Stockholder or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that is deemed appropriate. Resales of Common Stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

 

Certain stockholders purchased or were issued securities at prices that may be significantly below the trading price of our Common Stock:

 

	●	Sponsor paid approximately $0.009 per share, for 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares; and
	●	Sponsor and Maxim paid approximately $1.00 per warrant, for 5,760,000 Private Placement Warrants.

 

In connection with an extraordinary general meeting of Oxbridge shareholders in November 2022, in which Oxbridge asked its shareholders to vote to extend the date by which Oxbridge had to consummate a business combination, the holders of 10,313,048 Class A Ordinary Shares or approximately 90.0% of the shares with redemption rights at the time exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.22 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $105,424,960. Subsequently, in connection with the Business Combination, holders of 1,144,215 of Oxbridge’s Class A Ordinary Shares, or approximately 96.4% of the shares with redemption rights at the time, exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.10 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $12,655,017. On August 8, 2023, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora purchased 663,556 of the Class A Ordinary Shares from third parties through a broker in open market transactions or by reversing previously submitted redemption requests and waived its redemption rights with respect to these shares. Furthermore, Meteora purchased an additional 548,127 such shares.

 

We have an effective registration statement (SEC File No. 333-274432) covering the resale of up to 32,330,074 shares of Common Stock held by, or available upon exercise of warrants or other convertible securities by, certain of our stockholders, as well as the issuance by us of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of our outstanding warrants. Given the substantial number of shares of Common Stock registered for potential resale by these stockholders, the sale of shares by them, or the perception in the market that they intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our Common Stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Stock. Many of these stockholders have or may acquire their shares at a significant discount to the market price of our Common Stock. This will create an incentive for such stockholders to sell shares of our Common Stock because they purchased the shares at prices lower than the then-current trading price.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about Jet.AI, its business or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the Common Stock adversely, the price and trading volume of the Common Stock could decline.

 

The trading market for the Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about Jet.AI, its business, its market or its competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover Jet.AI change their recommendation regarding the Common Stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about its competitors, the price of the Common Stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover Jet.AI were to cease their coverage or fail to regularly publish reports on Jet.AI, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the stock price or trading volume of Jet.AI securities to decline.

 

The JOBS Act permits “emerging growth companies” like us to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (a) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (b) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (c) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following August 16, 2026, the fifth anniversary of our Initial Public Offering of units, which closed on August 16, 2021 (“IPO”), (ii) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to SEC rules from time to time) or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our the shares of Common Stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (b) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three year period.

 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as we are an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our share price may be more volatile.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

The Selling Stockholder may choose to sell the Securities at prices below the current market price.

 

The Selling Stockholder is not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities covered by this prospectus. Sales or other dispositions of the Securities below the then-current market prices could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

We will have broad discretion as to the proceeds that we receive from the cash exercise by any holder of the Ionic Warrant, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. If we receive stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and file an additional registration statement, we may receive up to approximately $15.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds from cash exercises of the Ionic Warrant, if any, and to the extent that we receive such proceeds, we intend to use the net proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrant for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of such proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and we could spend the proceeds in ways our stockholders may not agree with or that do not yield a favorable return, if at all. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether such proceeds are being used in a manner agreeable to you. You will be relying on the judgment of our management concerning these uses and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of issuance of the Securities, future equity offerings by us and other issuances of our Common Stock or other securities. In addition, the issuance of the Securities and future equity offerings and other issuances of our Common Stock or other securities may adversely affect our Common Stock price.

 

The Shares sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of our Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock. The issuance of the Securities or any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could also adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

In addition, in order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share as prior issuances of Common Stock. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share previously paid by investors, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the prices per share. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrant for the Warrant Shares may be lesser or greater than the price per share previously paid by certain investors. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock under our stock incentive programs. In addition, the issuance of the Securities and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock.

Overview

 

Jet.AI, a Delaware corporation, was founded in 2018 by Michael Winston, its Executive Chairman. The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, has been principally involved in (i) the sale of fractional and whole interests in aircraft, (ii) the sale of jet cards, which enable holders to use certain of the Company’s and other’s aircraft at agreed-upon rates, (iii) the operation of a proprietary booking platform, which functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers as well as via the Company’s leased and managed aircraft, (iv) direct chartering of its HondaJet aircraft by Cirrus, (v) aircraft brokerage, and (vi) service revenue from the monthly management and hourly operation of customer aircraft.

 

Beginning in December 2023, we launched our Jet.AI Operator Platform to provide a B2B software platform for SaaS products. Currently we offer the following SaaS software to aircraft owners and operators generally:

 

	●	Reroute AI: recycles aircraft waiting to embark to their next revenue flight into prospective new charter bookings to destinations within specific operational parameters; and
	●	DynoFlight: enables aircraft operators to estimate aircraft emissions then purchase carbon removal credits via our DynoFlight API

 

Business Combination

 

On August 10, 2023, Oxbridge, consummated a business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement among Oxbridge, the Merger Subs and Jet Token. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Oxbridge redomiciled as a Delaware corporation and was immediately renamed Jet.AI, Inc., and promptly thereafter, (a) First Merger Sub merged with and into Jet Token with Jet Token surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet.AI Inc.; and (b) Jet Token merged with and into Second Merger Sub (each merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

 

As a result of the Business Combination:

 

●

the then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of Oxbridge were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, Inc.;

 

●

the then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares of Oxbridge were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, Inc.;

 

 

●

the then issued and outstanding Oxbridge warrants were converted into an equal number of warrants, each exercisable for one share of Common Stock of Jet.AI, Inc. (“Jet.AI Warrants”);

 

●

the then issued and outstanding units sold in the IPO (“Oxbridge Units”) were converted into an equal number of Jet.AI Units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Jet.AI Warrant;

 

●

the outstanding shares of Jet Token common stock, including all shares of Jet Token preferred stock that converted into shares of Jet Token common stock, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock and the number of Merger Consideration Warrants based on the respective exchange rations set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

 

●

all outstanding Jet Token options for its common stock, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, were converted into options to purchase Common Stock based on the applicable exchange ratio determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement;

 

●

all outstanding Jet Token warrants were converted into warrants to acquire the number of shares of Common Stock and Merger Consideration Warrants based on the applicable exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; and

 

●

the outstanding Jet Token restricted stock unit awards were converted into Jet.AI restricted stock unit awards based on the applicable exchange ratio determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.

 

As a result of the Business Combination, Jet.AI Inc. has one class of Common Stock listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “JTAI”, and two classes of warrants, the Jet.AI Warrants and the Merger Consideration Warrants, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “JTAIW” and “JTAIZ” respectively.

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby Oxbridge is treated as the acquired company and Jet Token is treated as the acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of Oxbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Oxbridge were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Jet Token. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

 

References in this MD&A to “Jet.AI” or “the Company” refer to Jet Token Inc. prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

As discussed more fully below, our results of operations in 2023 and 2022 were impacted significantly by $17.2 million of revenue and $2.1 million of gross profit from fractional sales of all of our then available aircraft in 2022 and the absence of aircraft sales in 2023. Excluding the impact of these fractional sales and despite the increase in our aircraft fleet and charter and jet card/fractional program flight activity, the significant drivers of the decline in gross profit and increase in operating losses resulted from three key factors:

 

●

High pilot turnover at the beginning of 2023 that lead to:

 

	○	an approximate 118% increase in pilot wages from 2022 to 2023 to reduce that turnover, reflected in higher payments to Cirrus.
	○	increased time when pilots were not available to fly our aircraft due to several months of required onboarding pilot training, increasing our training costs as well as our costs for subcharters to cover these flight hours, which we expect to normalize going forward with the reduced turnover.

 

	●	Relatively lower per hour pricing for jet cards that we offered from 2021 through June of 2022 to drive customer growth. As of June 2023, we had raised our jet card pricing approximately 17% from our initial price point. However, jet card prices remain fixed for the year term of the contract and, as a result, our two lowest pricing points were being recognized in revenues through June 2023.
	●	An increase in professional service expenses of $1.4 million in large part due to the expenses of our Business Combination in August 2023. While we would expect our professional services expenses to be somewhat more elevated as a public company, they should be significantly lower than $1.4 million on a going forward basis.

 

We are cautiously optimistic that CharterGPT and ongoing improvement in its AI-powered features will continue to drive growth in our charter revenues and will drive higher broker productivity going forward. Furthermore, at the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024, we launched DynoFlight and Reroute AI, respectively, as part of the Jet.AI Operator Platform. We believe Reroute AI will generate increased revenue for the Company by driving charter demand for repurposed empty flight legs with little incremental operational costs. We also believe that, once the DynoFlight API has been integrated with FL3XX, a web and app-based aviation management platform, and future customers, it will generate monthly and usage-based revenues with modest operating costs limited to server administration and maintenance of the code base. Furthermore, the Company executed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire five new Challenger 3500 aircraft from Bombardier, consisting of three prospective firm orders and two options. Subject to securing debt financing and the development of a plan with Cirrus for these aircraft, the Company would then pre-sell fractional or whole interests in these aircraft.

 

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for 2023 totaled $12.2 million, a $9.7 million decrease from 2022’s revenues of $21.9 million primarily related to $17.2 million in aircraft sale proceeds in 2022 from the successful fractionalization of the Company’s last HondaJets.

 

The following table sets forth a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

		Year Ended December 31,
		2023				2022
Software App and Cirrus Charter		$	7,125,230			$	2,004,807
Jet Card and Fractional Programs			2,847,533				2,257,736
Management and Other Services			2,241,793				400,185
Fractional/Whole Aircraft Sales			-				17,200,000
		$	12,214,556			$	21,862,728

 

Software App revenue is the gross amount of charters booked through our app CharterGPT and Cirrus Charter revenue reflects the gross amount of charters on our aircraft booked by Cirrus. Software App revenue was 3.9 million in 2023, compared to 1.0 million in 2022. Cirrus Charter revenue was 3.2 million in 2023, compared to approximately 961,000 in 2022. The increase in Software App and Cirrus Charter revenue reflects primarily a greater number of aircraft operated in 2023 compared to 2022 as well as increased booking through the CharterGPT app. We took delivery of 1 HondaJet in November 2021 and the remaining 2 HondaJets in the third quarter of 2022. We also added a CJ4 aircraft owned by a customer and managed by us to our available fleet of aircraft for charter booking in early 2023.

 

Under our jet card program we charge an hourly rate for flight time. Under our fractional program we charge a monthly fee and hourly fees based on usage. In both case, prepaid flight hours and usage fees are recognized as revenue as the flight hours are used or forfeited and monthly fees are recognized monthly. Deferred revenue at the end of each period reflects prepaid flight hours for which the related travel had not yet occurred. We also record revenue for additional charges, representing primarily charges for cost reimbursements such as a fuel component adjustment to adjust for changes in fuel prices relative to the jet card and fractional contracts’ base fuel price and reimbursement of federal excise taxes. All of these revenues are reflected as Jet Card and Fractional Program revenues. The increase in revenue from Jet Card and Fractional Programs of approximately $590,000 in 2023 compared to 2022 is due to the increase in the number of the Company’s aircraft and a greater number of Jet Card members.

 

The following table details the flight hours sold and flown or forfeited, as well as the associated deferred revenues and recognized revenues, respectively, and additional charges for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 

		For the year ended December 31,
		2023				2022
Deferred revenue at the beginning of the year (1)		$	933,361				436,331
Prepaid flight hours sold
Amount		$	3,045,769				2,322,950
Total Flight Hours			534				439
Prepaid flight hours flown
Amount		$	2,456,354				1,837,720
Total flight hours			436				350
Additional charges		$	391,179				420,016
Total flight hour revenue		$	2,847,533				2,257,736
Deferred revenue at the end of the year (2)		$	1,779,794				933,361

 

(1)	Deferred revenue at December 31, 2023 and 2022 also includes $11,800 and $0, respectively, with respect to customer prepayments associated with software app transactions.
(2)	Deferred revenue at December 31, 2023 and 2022 also includes $268,818 and $11,800, respectively, with respect to customer prepayments associated with software app transactions.

 

Management and Other Services revenue reflects monthly fees and other expenses from our management of a customer’s CJ4 as well as approximately $220,000 in 2022 from brokerage commissions from an aircraft sale. We began managing the CJ4 in mid-December of 2022.

 

 

Cost of revenues

 

Our cost of revenue is generally comprised of payments to Cirrus for the maintenance and management of our fleet of aircraft, including the CJ4, commissions to Cirrus for their arranging for charters on our aircraft, aircraft lease expense, federal excise tax relating to jet card and third-party charters, and payments to third-party aircraft operators for their aircraft chartered through our App, as well as the cost of our subcharters for covering jet card flights when our aircraft were unavailable. The management of our aircraft by Cirrus covers all our aircraft regardless of whether the aircraft are used for program flight hours or charter flights and includes expenses such as fuel, pilot wages and training costs, aircraft insurance, maintenance and other flight operational expenses.

 

As a result of primarily of our increased fleet, the increase in jet card hours flown and additional costs resulting from pilot turn over discussed above, as well as the startup costs relating to the introduction of the CJ4 to our fleet, costs related to the operation of our aircraft and payments to Cirrus for their management increased $3.4 million from $2.0 million in 2022 to $5.4 million in 2023 and aircraft lease payments increased $337,000 from $855,000 in 2022 to $1.2 million in 2023. The Company also incurred third-party charter costs of approximately $5.4 million in 2023, a $4.0 million increase over 2022 reflecting primarily lack of availability of our aircraft due to pilot turnover and increased training time, combined with increased charter activity. Merchant fees and federal excise tax relating to charter flights of $304,000 in 2023 were a $48,000 increase over in 2022.

 

In total, it cost $12.4 million to operate our aircraft in 2023, compared to $4.4 million to operate fewer aircraft on average in 2022. We also incurred $15.2 million in 2022 cost of revenue directly associated with our fractional and whole aircrafts sales.

 

Gross (loss) profit

 

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a gross loss of approximately $179,000 for 2023, compared to a gross profit of approximately $2.1 million for 2022. The 2022 results were positively affected by the fractionalization of the Company’s HondaJets. Excluding the profit from these fractionalizations, gross profit for 2022 would have been approximately $216,000, with the decline primarily due to increased pilot wages and training, offset by increased flight activity.

 

Total Operating Expenses

 

In 2023, the Company’s operating expenses increased by approximately $2.4 million over the prior year due to an approximate $2.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation of $6.6 million and $6.5 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively, general and administrative expenses rose by approximately $2.2 million, primarily due to an increase in professional service expenses of $1.4 million in large part due to the expenses of our Business Combination. In addition our insurance expenses increased $58,000 over the 2022 amount of $31,000 due to the significantly higher premiums for D&O insurance as a public company.

 

The Company’s sales and marketing expenses increased by about $147,000 to approximately $574,000 in 2023 from approximately $427,000 in 2022, due to slightly increased marketing spend to promote the Company and its programs.

 

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $24,000 in 2023 over 2022 due to the development and continuing refinement of CharterGPT and our Jet.AI Operator Platform of software products.

 

 

Operating Loss

 

As a result of all of the above, in 2023 the Company recognized an operating loss of approximately $12.5 million, which was an increase in loss of approximately $4.8 million over 2022. $2.1 million of this decrease is directly attributable to gross profit from fractionalization of our HondaJets in 2022 that did not recur in 2023. The remainder of the decrease, excluding non-cash compensation expenses, resulted from increased pilot wages and costs, increased subcharters, increased professional services expense from the Business Combination and higher D&O insurance costs.

 

Other Expense (Income)

 

During 2023, the Company recognized approximately $104,000 in other expense due primarily due to interest expense 2023 related to the Company’s Bridge Agreement as defined and discussed below.

 

Net Loss to Common Stockholders

 

After deducting cumulative preferred stock dividends of approximately $47,000 in 2023, which have been accruing since the August 2023 issuance date of the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, net loss to common stockholders increased by $4.9 million.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and equivalents were approximately $2.1 million, including approximately $500,000 of restricted cash under its aircraft leasing arrangements described below. As of December 31, 2023, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $3.8 million, of which $1.8 million in liabilities represents deferred revenue that would be recorded as revenue once the flight hours are flown or forfeited.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2023 and through March 31, 2024, the Company raised (1) approximately $1,110,000 in funds from the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock under the Share Purchase Agreement discussed below, (2) approximately $742,000 from Jet.AI Warrant exercises and (3) approximately $1.5 million in gross proceeds from the Ionic Transaction discussed below. Collectively, these actions resulted in our receiving an additional $3,352,000 of cash subsequent to December 31, 2023. In addition, in March 2024, the Company fully repaid approximately $683,000 of amounts due under the Bridge Agreement described below.

 

The Company also incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past as reflected in its accumulated deficit of $39.4 million as of December 31, 2023. While we expect to drive revenue and operating profit growth from aircraft acquisitions, higher average hourly pricing of jet cards, increased charter activity through CharterGPT and Reroute AI and SaaS revenues from DynoFlight, we expect to continue to incur operating losses to a greater or lesser extent for at least the next 12 months, depending on the timing and success of these initiatives. To bridge the gap, we intend to rely on funds available from share issuances under the Share Purchase Agreement and amounts received upon an exercise of the Ionic Warrant (as defined below), if any, to meet our funding obligations. Additional funding under the Share Purchase Agreement may be limited contractually and the Ionic Warrant may not be exercised by the holder. Furthermore, issuances of additional shares of Common Stock under the Share Purchase Agreement or upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and underlying the Ionic Warrant may negatively impact the Company’s stock price and ability to raise additional funds. We will likely require additional capital resources to grow our business. In the absence of external financing the Company is prepared to cut its cash utilization by ceasing marketing and customer acquisition, suspending software development, streamlining operations, and servicing only existing customers. Such a reduction would allow the Company to continue to operate for a year or more by management’s estimate. During that time the Company would plan to arrange new financing and to then resume expansion.

 

Ionic Transaction

 

General

 

On March 28, 2024, Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and a number of other transaction documents described below for a private placement with Ionic Ventures, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Investor”), which closed on March 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), which we collectively refer to as the “Ionic Transaction”.

 

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Investor (a) 150 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (b) a warrant to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Ionic Warrant”), at an exercise price of $10,000 per share, and (c) 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, not including customary placement fees and reimbursement of certain amounts payable to Maxim as placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the Ionic Transaction. This amount excludes the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Ionic Warrant. The Company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds received upon execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement to partially redeem its Series A Preferred Shares and, potentially, its Series A-1 Preferred Shares. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, and other general corporate purposes. The Company has not allocated specific amounts of net proceeds for any of these purposes.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

On March 28, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Designations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which provides for the issuance of up to 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks pari passu with the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and senior to all other capital stock of the Company.

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock converts into a number of shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, including a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (calculated in accordance with the rules promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act), which can be adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice by the Investor. Prior to the approval by our stockholders of the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (the “Conversion Approval”), we may not convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued exceeds 19.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph and provided there is an effective registration statement covering the Investor’s resale of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on or prior to the tenth trading day after the issuance date of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing the conversion amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock by the then conversion price. The conversion amount is equal to the stated value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which is $10,000, plus any additional amounts and late charges calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. The conversion price is equal to 90% (or, in the case of a delisting, 80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock over a period beginning on the trading day after we deliver shares of Common Stock upon such conversion to the Investor and ending on the trading day on which the aggregate dollar trading volume of our Common Stock exceeds seven times the applicable conversion amount, subject to a five trading day minimum period for such calculation, and subject to certain adjustments.

 

If certain defined “triggering events” defined in the Certificate of Designations occur, such as a breach of the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement, suspension of trading, or our failure to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock when a conversion right is exercised, then we may be required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash at 110% of the stated value.

 

The foregoing description of the Series B Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.5 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Other Transaction Documents

 

The Ionic Warrant exercise price is initially set at $10,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock of, subject to adjustment for certain events, such as stock split, issuance of additional shares as a dividend or otherwise. If all of the Ionic Warrant was exercised for cash, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million. The Company cannot predict when or if the Ionic Warrant will be exercised. It is possible that the Ionic Warrant may never be exercised. At any time when the Ionic Warrant is exercisable for less than 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company has the right to redeem all or a portion of the Ionic Warrant by paying to the Investor in cash $100 per share of Series B Preferred Stock that would otherwise be issuable pursuant to the Ionic Warrant.

 

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company, on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand, and customary conditions to closing. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to submit to its stockholders a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules at a special meeting of stockholders at the earliest practicable date after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. The Company entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Michael Winston, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, and the Sponsor, who together hold approximately 40% of the voting power of the Company as of the date of this prospectus, agreeing to vote in favor of the proposal. The Company intends to seek stockholder approval for the transaction at its annual meeting of stockholders, which is scheduled to take place on July 1, 2024, which is more than 90 days after the Closing Date. The Company has received the consent of the Investor to hold the meeting on that date. The Securities Purchase Agreement obligates the Company to reserve no less than 200% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, using an alternate conversion method (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company and the Investor have agreed that the Company Required Reserve Amount is 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In order to meet that obligation, the Company intends to seek stockholder approval to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 at its annual meeting of stockholders. If the Company receives such approval, it will be obligated to file another registration statement to include the remaining 33,250,000 shares to meet the Required Reserve Amount.

 

Additionally, on March 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Ionic Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investor, which, among other things, provides that the Company will register the resale of the 250,000 shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, including the Series B Preferred Stock underlying the Ionic Warrant. The Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC no later than 30 days following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, but in no event later than May 15, 2024 (the “Filing Failure”, and such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement and any amendment declared effective no later than the earlier of the (a) 60th calendar day following such filing (or, if such registration statement is subject to a full review by the SEC, the 100th calendar day after such filing) and (b) 2nd business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). If this registration statement is not filed by the Filing Deadline, the Company is obligated pay to the Investor a fee of $100,000 (the “Filing Failure Fee”). At the option of the Company, the Company may issue to the Investor 100,000 shares of Common Stock (“Filing Default Shares”) in lieu of paying the Filing Failure Fee in cash, not later than two (2) trading days after such Filing Failure. In addition, if this registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company is obligated pay to the Investor a fee of $100,000 (the “Effectiveness Default Fee”). At the option of the Company, the Company may issue to the Investor 100,000 shares of Common Stock (“Effectiveness Default Shares”) in lieu of paying the Effectiveness Default Fee in cash, but not later than two (2) Trading Days after such Effectiveness Deadline.

 

The Company has also agreed to, among other things, indemnify the Investor, its members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives and persons who control the Investor under the registration statement from certain liabilities and pay all fees and expenses (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions) incident to the Company’s obligations under the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

Copies of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Ionic Warrant and the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.30, 10.31, 4.5 and 10.32, respectively, to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The above summary of such agreements and documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference such agreements and is incorporated herein by reference herein.

 

 

Share Purchase Agreement

 

The Company has access to an aggregate of $40 million from the Share Purchase Agreement with GEM less drawdowns of $1,110,000 to date. In consideration for GEM’s services under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 payable in cash or freely tradable shares of Common Stock, at the option of the Company. Upon the Company’s issuance of shares in connection with any drawdown purchase made by GEM, the Company is required to pay GEM a portion of such commitment fee in an amount equal to 2% of the amount purchased in such drawdown; provided that the full $800,000 commitment fee shall be paid on or before the first anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. The Company is obligated to pay the commitment fee regardless of the amount of funds it draws down under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

GEM is not obligated to purchase shares under the Share Purchase Agreement if any purchase of shares would result in GEM and its affiliates beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, at the time of the proposed issuance, more than 9.99% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of such proposed issuance. GEM may waive the restriction under the Share Purchase Agreement by providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days’ notice that the Purchaser would like to waive the restriction with regard to any or all shares issuable pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company issued the GEM Warrant, pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, granting it the right to purchase up to 6% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of listing. The GEM Warrant has a term of three years. The exercise price of the GEM Warrant, as of December 31, 2024, was $8.40 per share; provided, that, if the average closing price of Jet.AI’s Common Stock for the 10 trading days following the first anniversary of the date of listing is less than 90% of the then current exercise price of the GEM Warrant, then the exercise price of the GEM Warrant will be adjusted to 110% of our then current trading price. The warrant may be exercised by payment of the per share amount in cash or through a cashless exercise.

 

The GEM Warrant provides that GEM can elect to limit the exercisability of the GEM Warrant such that it is not exercisable to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, GEM and its affiliates, to the Company’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of Jet.AI’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. GEM has made this election, which makes funds available under the Share Purchase Agreement in excess of this 4.99% ownership limit up to the 9.99% ownership restriction in the Share Purchase Agreement. GEM may revoke this election by providing written notice, which revocation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day thereafter.

 

Meteora Transactions

 

On August 6, 2023, we entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement with Meteora for OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions. The purpose of our entering into this agreement and these transactions was to provide a mechanism whereby Meteora would purchase, and waive their redemption rights with respect to, a sufficient number of Oxbridge Class A ordinary shares to enable Oxbridge to have at least $5,000,000 of net tangible assets, a non-waivable condition to the Closing of the Business Combination and to provide the Company with cash to meet a portion of the transaction costs associated with the Business Combination.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora intended, but was not obligated to, purchase up to 1,186,952 (the “Purchased Amount”) of Oxbridge’s Class A ordinary shares concurrently with the Closing. The shares initially purchased by Meteora consisted of 663,556 Recycled Shares it purchased from third parties through a broker in open market transactions and 247,000 Additional Shares it purchased directly from us in a private placement, pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, for a per share price of $10.00 pursuant to an FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement. Of these Recycled Shares, 50,000 Recycled Shares represented Share Consideration to Meteora under the Forward Purchase Agreement and are not subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, meaning that Meteora is free to sell such shares and retain all proceeds therefrom. Netting out the Share Consideration, the total “Number of Shares” initially subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement was 861,312. Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we paid to Meteora $6,805,651 representing amounts payable by us to Meteora under the Forward Purchase Agreement, net of the aggregate purchase price of the total number of Additional Shares issued to Meteora under the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement; and Meteora paid us ½ of the Prepayment Shortfall, or $625,000.

 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, in December 2023, Meteora sent OET Notices to the Company informing the Company that it had elected to terminate the transaction with respect to all outstanding shares and paid the Company an aggregate $921,945. As a result of the foregoing transactions, the net proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of additional Common Stock pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement and the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement are $1,221,945 and the facility was terminated.

 

Bridge Agreement

 

On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (“Bridge Agreement”) with eight investors to provide the Company $500,000 of short-term bridge financing pending its receipt of funds from its other existing financing arrangements.

 

The Bridge Agreement was entered into with, and funding was provided by, Michael Winston, the Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Wrendon Timothy, a member of the Board and all three Committees of the Board, William Yankus, a member of the Board and two of its Committees, and Oxbridge RE Holdings Limited, a significant stockholder of the Company for which Mr. Timothy serves as a director and officer, as well as the four other investors named in the Bridge Agreement.

 

Given Mr. Winston’s dual role as a participant in the negotiations with third parties and his participation in the bridge financing itself, for avoidance of doubt, he waived any right to receive accrued interest on the principal amount of his Note, as well as any redemption premium or any increase in the principal amount of his Note in connection with an event of default (the “Waiver”). The Company’s Audit Committee pursuant to its charter, and the full Board, including a majority of disinterested directors, unanimously approved the Bridge Agreement, in each case finding that the Bridge Agreement was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Bridge Agreement provided for the issuance of Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $625,000, reflecting a 20% original issue discount. The Notes bore interest at 5% per annum and matured on March 11, 2024. The Company was required to redeem the Notes with 100% of the proceeds of any equity or debt financing at a redemption premium of 110% of the principal amount of the Notes. In March 2024, the Company fully repaid the Bridge Agreement in the amount of approximately $683,000, representing principal, redemption premium and interest.

 

Other Equity Issuances and Settlement Arrangements

 

Maxim Payment and Settlement Agreement

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Maxim Settlement Agreement”) with Maxim, the underwriter for the Company’s initial public offering. Pursuant to the Maxim Settlement Agreement, the Company issued to Maxim Partners in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, (a) 270,000 shares of Common Stock to Maxim Partners to settle the payment obligations of the Company under the underwriting agreement dated on or about August 11, 2021, by and between the Company and Maxim and (b) 1,127 Series A Preferred Shares to Maxim Partners in an amount equal in value to $1,127,000 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The Series A Preferred Shares accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum (which increases to 18% if the Company fails to meet certain obligations under the terms thereof), payable quarterly and, at the Company’s option, in shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into 112,700 shares of Common Stock. The Company also issued 115,000 shares of Common Stock to Maxim Partners on August 16, 2021, in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, to meet a payment obligation under the underwriting agreement in connection with Oxbridge’s IPO, representing a value of $9.00 per share reflecting an allocation of the $10.00 per Unit IPO price.

 

 

The Company may, subject to certain conditions, redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares in cash at the $1,000 original issue price, subject to adjustment, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company is required to redeem all the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares on August 10, 2024, which will be automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the net proceeds will be used to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares if requested by the holder.

 

Sponsor Settlement Agreement

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into settlement agreement (“Sponsor Settlement Agreement”) with OAC Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor of Oxbridge. Pursuant to the Sponsor Settlement Agreement, the Company issued, in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, 575 Series A-1 Preferred Shares to settle the payment obligations of the Company under a promissory note in the principal amount of $575,000 dated November 14, 2022 in favor of Sponsor. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares accrue interest at the rate of 5% per annum (which increases to 18% if the Company fails to meet certain obligations under the terms thereof), payable quarterly in cash. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares are convertible into 57,500 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares are subject to a registration rights agreement between the Company and Sponsor.

 

The Company may, subject to certain conditions, redeem the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares in cash at the $1,000 original issue price, subject to adjustment, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company is required to redeem all the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares on August 10, 2024, automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the net proceeds will be used to redeem the Series A-1 Preferred Shares if requested by the holder.

 

Warrants

 

On various dates at the end of December 2023 and through early 2024, we entered a number of separate warrant exchange agreements with various unaffiliated third-party warrant holders with respect to warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,486,217 shares of our Common Stock (the “Exchanged Warrants”). Pursuant to these warrant exchange agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,486,217 shares of Common Stock to those warrant holders in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of the Exchanged Warrants, in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements under Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

A copy of the form of warrant exchange agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.28 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

In December 2023 and January 2024, holders of an aggregate of 154,563 JTAIW warrants were exercised for an equal number of shares of our Common Stock, generating net proceeds to us of $1,777,475.

 

 

Cash Flows

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and equivalents were approximately $2.1 million, including approximately $500,000 of restricted cash under its aircraft leasing arrangements described below.

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 

		For the year ended December 31,
		2023				2022
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(3,783,473	)		$	(96,042	)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities			(190,998	)		$	290,488
Net cash provided by financing activities			4,547,623			$	689,451
Increase in cash and cash equivalents		$	573,152			$	883,897

 

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

The increase in net cash used in operating activities for 2023 was primarily driven by increase in operating loss discussed above.

 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $190,998, primarily relating to the Company’s investment in 380 Software LLC, a 50/50 joint venture subsidiary with Great Western Air LLC dba Cirrus Aviation Services as well as the purchase of the Jet.AI domain name. This is compared to net cash provided by investing activities in 2022 of $290,488 driven by an increase in aircraft deposit rebates.

 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by net offering proceeds (net of offering costs from the Company’s Regulation A offering) of $2.4 million. These net offering proceeds reflect (1) approximately $1.2 million in proceeds from the Forward Purchase Agreement and (2) approximately $1.2 million of net proceeds from the latter part of the Company’s Regulation A offering of non-voting Common Stock which terminated in January 2023. From June 2021 to January 2023, the Company conducted an offering under Regulation A and issued 8,767,126 shares, or approximately 271,000 shares of Common Stock and 432,000 Merger Consideration Warrants following the Business Combination, and representing approximately $6.6 million in gross proceeds. In addition, in 2023 the Company raised $500,000 under its Bridge Agreement, approximately $1.0 million from the exercise of warrants and approximately $621,000 of proceeds from the Business Combination.

 

Aircraft Financing Arrangements

 

In November 2021 and April 2022, the Company entered into two separate five-year leasing arrangements for the acquisition of two of its HondaJet Elite aircraft. At any time during their term, the Company has the option to purchase either aircraft from the lessor at the aircraft’s fair market value at that time. The leasing arrangements also require the Company to hold a combined liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account pledged as security to the lessor, which the Company records as restricted cash on its balance sheet, as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for each leased aircraft, which is held by the lessor in the event the lessor determines that the relevant aircraft is not being maintained in accordance with the lease requirements or to prevent deterioration of the aircraft. Events of default under the leasing arrangements include, among other things, failure to make the monthly payments (with a 10-day cure period), default on other indebtedness, breaches of covenants related to insurance and maintenance requirements, change of control or merger, insolvency and a material adverse change in the Company’s business, operations or financial condition. Please see Note 5 to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a further description of these leasing arrangements.

 

 

In June 2022, the Company received an unsolicited offer for the outright purchase of one of its HondaJet Elite aircraft, which netted the Company approximately $1.2 million of proceeds over the leased cost. After internal financial and legal review, the Company determined that the sale of the aircraft would offer a net benefit to its stakeholders. The Company considered a number of factors in making this decision, including but not limited to: (1) the availability of replacement aircraft, (2) pilot availability, (3) the time to register the aircraft for commercial use, and (4) the risk-adjusted lifetime return on capital associated with operating the aircraft relative to the purchase price offered.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Aviation

 

The Company contemplates acquiring addition aircraft to grow its business and it currently anticipates financing the acquisition of such aircraft through the sale of fractional and whole interests, debt/lease financing and advanced sales of flight time.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we launched the Onboard Program to allow aircraft owners to contribute their aircraft to the Company’s charter and jet card inventory. The Onboard Program requires one month FAA conformity of aircraft onto the Cirrus Aviation Part 135 certificate, a one week pilot recertification course for charter operation and execution of a limited management agreement.

 

Software

 

CharterGPT powered by Jet.AI: We plan to build a natural language interface charter app to replace the existing B2C app found in the iOS/Android stores, respectively. We retained two individuals who act as external contractors, who collaborate with our CTO. We own, without restriction, all rights to all intellectual property generated for the CharterGPT project by these external contractors. The nature of the work performed by the external contractors relates to the design and implementation of the App’s front-end and back end, respectively. The front-end contractor envisions and renders a visually appealing and intuitive workflow for the App compatible with the input requirements of the back end. The App workflow includes but is not limited to registration, charter jet search, booking, and payment. The back-end developer writes original computer code and integrates certain open-source software. For more information on the proposed features and benefits see the section of this prospectus entitled “Business — Strategy – Artificial Intelligence.”

 

Jet.AI Operator Platform: Jet.AI plans to reorganize and to recharacterize its B2B software development efforts under the banner of a new suite of SaaS products termed “Jet.AI Operator Platform” as follows:

 

●	Flight Club API powered by Jet.AI: The Flight Club API, along with a specialty escrow provider and some limited filings with the Department of Transportation, enables an FAA Part 135 operator to function simultaneously under FAA Part 380 which permits sale of private jet service by the seat instead of by whole aircraft. The Flight Club software is expected to integrate front end ticketing and payment collection with the scheduling systems of an FAA Part 135 operator. It automates the process of filing forms for each flight with DOT and its refund processes are designed to be consistent with DOT escrow requirements around ticketing and movement of customer funds.
●	Reroute powered by Jet.AI: Reroute is software that enables FAA Part 135 operators to earn additional revenue on certain unoccupied flights. It suggests to an operator if it may reroute aircraft waiting to return to base into new charter bookings to destinations within specific distances. The system incorporates aircraft performance and third-party data to arrive at a profit estimate for each prospective flight. The MVP has been successfully tested and our partner Cirrus Aviation has agreed to test Reroute on its fleet ahead of launch. Launch is tentatively scheduled for the third quarter of 2023.
●	DynoFlight API powered by Jet.AI: The DynoFlight API is being developed to enable aircraft operators to track and estimate emissions and then purchase carbon offset credits in small quantities in an ad-hoc manner via our API. DynoFligth offers small to medium sized operators a way to begin tracking and offsetting their carbon credits with advances estimation techniques, compliant practices, and quality credits at prices usually only accessible to operators working at a much larger scale that are buying in bulk. In addition, the DynoFlight API is expected to offer an advantage even to large organizations that wish to manage working capital more efficiently (i.e. pay as they fly instead of buying in bulk).

 

 

●

Card Management and Invoicing powered by Jet.AI: This system is our internally developed membership portal and we plan to enhance it and offer it as a white label service to the combined market of over 5,000 FAA Part 135 and Part 91k operators. The Card Management and Invoicing offering, when combined with the four products described above present an attractive solution, in our view, for Part 135 and 91k operators that seek to improve the customer experience, drive utilization and manage their carbon footprint, respectively.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since its inception. These matters raise concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company began ramping up its revenue-generating activities during the second half of the year ended December 31, 2021 and continuing into 2022 and 2023. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funds from its operations, and drawdowns under the Share Purchase Agreement, as well as proceeds from other financing arrangements. The Company also has the ability to reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however, that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

Basis of Presentation for the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby Oxbridge is treated as the acquired company and Jet Token is treated as the acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of Oxbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Oxbridge were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

Jet Token has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors:

 

	●	Jet Token’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity;
	●	Jet Token existing stockholders have the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity board;
	●	Jet Token’s senior management is the senior management of the combined entity
	●	Jet Token is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base; and
	●	The post-combination company has assumed a Jet Token branded name: “Jet.AI Inc.”

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the fair value of options granted. Although considerable variability is likely to be inherent in these estimates, management believes that the amounts provided are reasonable. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted if necessary. Such adjustment is reflected in current operations.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

	●	Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
	●	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
	●	Determination of the transaction price;
	●	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
	●	Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Jet Token App (replaced by CharterGPT) and (iv) aircraft management.

 

Under the fractional ownership program, a customer purchases an ownership share in a jet which guarantees the customer access to the jet for a preset number of hours per year. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a monthly management fee and an occupied hourly fee based on usage. Revenues from the sale of fractional or whole interests in an aircraft are recognized at the time title to the aircraft is transferred to the purchasers, which generally occurs upon delivery or ownership transfer.

 

The jet card program provides the customer with a preset number of hours of guaranteed private jet access over the agreement term (generally a year) without the larger hourly or capital commitment of purchasing an ownership share. The jet card program consists of a fixed hourly rate for flight hours typically paid 100% up front.

 

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the Company’s promised services, which generally occurs upon the flight hours being used. Any unused hours for the fractional jet and jet card programs are forfeited at the end of the contract term and are thus immediately recognized as revenue at that time.

 

Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, the Company initially recognizes a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future date.

 

The Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Company’s booking app, whereby the Company will source, negotiate, and arrange travel on a charter basis for a customer based on pre-selected options and pricing provided by the Company to the customer through the app. In addition, Cirrus markets charter on the Company’s aircraft for the Company’s benefit. Deferred revenue with respect to bookings through the app was $268,818 as of December 31, 2023.

 

The Company utilizes certificated independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of flights. The Company evaluates whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services the Company provides to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. The Company directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that the Company acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements. Owner charter revenue is recognized for flights where the owner of a managed aircraft sets the price for the trip. The Company records owner charter revenue at the time of flight on a net basis for the margin we receive to operate the aircraft. If the Company has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Flights

 

Flights and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in which the service is provided. For round-trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment.

 

Fractional and jet card members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights based on a contractual capped hourly rate. Ad hoc charter customers primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs are paid by members through the purchase of dollar-denominated prepaid blocks of flight hours (“Prepaid Blocks”), and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation are billed monthly as incurred. Prepaid Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment.

 

 

Aircraft Management

 

The Company manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner-incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking and other related operating costs. The Company passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.

 

Aircraft management-related revenue contains two types of performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed.

 

Aircraft Sales

 

The Company acquires aircraft from vendors and various other third-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The Company’s classifies the purchase as aircraft inventory on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Sales are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Pass-Through Costs

 

In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are distinct performance obligations. The Company then assesses whether it is acting as an agent or a principal for each identified performance obligation and includes revenue within the transaction price for third-party costs when the Company determines that it is acting as the principal.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The cost of sales expenses includes costs incurred in providing air transportation services, such as chartering third-party aircraft, aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses.

 

	1.	Chartering Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering third-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. These expenses include the fees paid to third-party operators for providing aircraft services on behalf of the Company. Expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period when the service is rendered and are reported on an accrual basis.
	2.	Aircraft Lease Expenses: Aircraft lease expenses include the cost of leasing aircraft for the Company’s operations. The lease expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
	3.	Pilot Training and Wages: Pilot training costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of sales expenses. This encompasses expenses related to initial pilot training, recurrent training, and any additional required training programs. Pilot wages, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits, are also recognized as a part of the cost of sales expenses and are reported on an accrual basis.

 

 

	4.	Aircraft Fuel: The cost of aircraft fuel is recognized as an expense in the cost of sales category based on the actual consumption during flight operations. Fuel costs are recorded in the income statement in the period when the fuel is consumed and are reported on an accrual basis.
	5.	Aircraft Maintenance: Aircraft maintenance expenses include both routine and non-routine maintenance. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. Non-routine maintenance expenses, such as major repairs and overhauls, are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life. The amortization expense is included in the cost of sales expense and is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life.
	6.	Other Aircraft Operating Expenses: Other aircraft operating expenses include costs such as insurance, landing fees, navigation charges, and catering services. These expenses are recognized in the income statement as a part of the cost of sales expenses in the period when they are incurred and are reported on an accrual basis.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period or over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

 

Trend Information

 

The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, federal and foreign governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond Jet.AI’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include but are not limited to: changes in the airline industry, fuel and operating costs, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, regulations on carbon emissions from aviation and market acceptance of the Company’s business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of operations.

 

 

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Our business strategy combines concepts from fractional jet and charter jet programs with innovations in artificial intelligence, also referred to herein is “AI.” Our purposeful enhancement of price discovery has the potential to produce fairer and more inclusive results for aircraft owners and travelers alike.

 

We formed the Company on June 4, 2018. We developed and, in September 2019, launched our booking platform represented by our iOS app JetToken (the “App”), which originally functioned as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers. Following our acquisition of HondaJets, we began selling jet cards and fractional ownership interests in our aircraft. In 2023, we launched an AI-enhanced booking app called CharterGPT, as more fully discussed under “ – Our Software Platforms – Our Booking Platform and CharterGPT” and “Strategy - Artificial Intelligence” below.

 

Beginning in 2023, we launched our Jet.AI Operator Platform to provide a B2B software platform for SaaS products. Currently we offer the following SaaS software to aircraft owners and operators generally:

 

	●	Reroute AI: recycles aircraft waiting to return to base into prospective new charter bookings to destinations within specific distances; and
	●	DynoFlight: enables aircraft operators to estimate aircraft emissions then purchase carbon removal credits via our DynoFlight API.

 

We have also established a specific version of a private jet by the seat booking tool called for the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Cirrus Aviation via 380 Software LLC. 380 Software LLC is a by-the-seat charter joint venture between us and Cirrus Aviation.

 

Our strategy involves expanding our fleet of aircraft with larger aircraft capable of traveling longer distances, developing a national jet card program based on third party aircraft, further enhancing the AI functionality of Charter GPT, and expanding upon our B2B software offerings. Our strategy involves expanding our fleet of aircraft with larger aircraft capable of traveling longer distances, further enhancing the AI functionality of Charter GPT, expanding upon Reroute AI and DynoFlight.

 

The Business Combination

 

General

 

On August 10, 2023, Jet.AI Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Oxbridge Acquisition Corp.), consummated a “Business Combination” pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 24, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2023, by and among Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Oxbridge”), the Merger Subs and Jet Token. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Oxbridge redomiciled as a Delaware corporation and was immediately renamed Jet.AI, Inc., and promptly thereafter, (a) First Merger Sub merged with and into Jet Token with Jet Token surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet.AI Inc., and (b) Jet Token merged with and into Second Merger Sub (each merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

 

As a result of the Business Combination:

 

	●	the then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of Oxbridge were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, Inc.;
	●	the then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares of Oxbridge were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, Inc.;
	●	the then issued and outstanding Oxbridge warrants were converted into an equal number of warrants, each exercisable for one share of Common Stock of Jet.AI, Inc. (“Jet.AI Warrants”);

 

 

	●	the then issued and outstanding Oxbridge Units were converted into an equal number of Jet.AI Units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Jet.AI Warrant;
	●	the outstanding shares of Jet Token common stock, including all shares of Jet Token preferred stock that converted into shares of Jet Token common stock, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock and the number of Merger Consideration Warrants based on the respective exchange rations set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;
	●	all outstanding Jet Token options for its common stock, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, were converted into options to purchase Common Stock based on the applicable exchange ratio determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement;
	●	all outstanding Jet Token warrants were converted into warrants to acquire the number of shares of Common Stock and Merger Consideration Warrants based on the applicable exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; and
	●	the outstanding Jet Token restricted stock unit awards were converted into Jet.AI restricted stock unit awards based on the applicable exchange ratio determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.

 

As a result of the Business Combination, Jet.AI Inc. has one class of Common Stock, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “JTAI”, and two classes of warrants the Jet.AI Warrants and the Merger Consideration Warrants, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “JTAIW” and “JTAIZ” respectively.

 

Certain Financing Arrangements

 

Prior to and in connection with the Business Combination, we entered into financing arrangements intended to provide us with equity-based financing.

 

In August 2022, Jet Token entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2022 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (together with GEM Yield LLC SCS, “GEM”), which was automatically assigned to the Company upon the Closing of the Business Combination. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to periodically issue and sell to GEM, and GEM has agreed to purchase, up to $40,000,000 aggregate value of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Aggregate Limit”) during the 36-month period following the date of the Closing of the Business Combination. GEM is not obligated to purchase shares under the Share Purchase Agreement if any purchase of shares would result in GEM and its affiliates beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, at the time of the proposed issuance, more than 9.99% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of such proposed issuance. In consideration for these services, the Company has agreed to pay GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 payable in cash or freely tradable shares of Common Stock at the “Daily Closing Price” of the Common Stock, at the option of the Company. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, on August 10, 2023, the Company issued GEM a warrant (as subsequently amended, the “GEM Warrant”) granting it the right to purchase up to 6% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of listing, with exercisability currently limited to 4.99% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The GEM Warrant has a term of three years from the date of issuance and, as of December 31, 2024, had an exercise price of $8.40 per share (subject to potential reduction in August 2024).

 

On August 6, 2023, we entered into an agreement with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (ii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and (iii) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, “Meteora”) (as amended on August 31, 2023 and October 2, 2023, the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) for OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions. The primary purpose of our entering into the Forward Purchase Agreement and these transactions was to provide a mechanism whereby Meteora would purchase, and waive their redemption rights with respect to, a sufficient number of Oxbridge Class A ordinary shares to enable Oxbridge to have at least $5,000,000 of net tangible assets, a non-waivable condition to the Closing of the Business Combination and to provide the Company with cash to meet a portion of the transaction costs associated with the Business Combination. Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we paid to Meteora $6,805,651, representing amounts payable by us to Meteora under the Forward Purchase Agreement, net of the aggregate purchase price of the total number of Additional Shares (as defined and discussed below) issued to Meteora under the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement; and Meteora paid us ½ of the Prepayment Shortfall (as defined below), or $625,000. The Forward Purchase Agreement was amended to provide payment to the Company of an additional $550,000, reflecting payment in full of the amended Prepayment Shortfall of $1,175,000. The Company also received approximately $1.2 million from the issuance of Common Stock under the Forward Purchase Agreement, including due to early termination of the facility.

 

 

In connection with the Business Combination, we also entered into settlement agreements with Maxim, the underwriter for the Company’s initial public offering, and with OAC Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor of Oxbridge, each providing for the issuance of equity in satisfaction of Oxbridge payment obligations.

 

Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overview” for a further discussion of the terms of these financing arrangements and other recent financing transactions.

 

Recent Events

 

Our Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “JTAI”. On December 1, 2023, the Company received a notification letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its amount of stockholders’ equity has fallen below the $10 million required minimum for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, and that as of September 30, 2023, the Company does not meet The Nasdaq Global Market alternative listing criteria for the Market Value standard or the Total Assets / Total Revenues standard. The Letter further noted that the Company may consider applying to transfer the Company’s securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”), which would require the Company to, among other things, meet the Capital Market’s continued listing requirements. In accordance with Nasdaq rules and as stated in the Letter, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance, involving a proposed transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Markets with lower listing requirements, as well as a number of capital raising measures that the Company intended to take, such as this offering. Nasdaq provided written confirmation of its acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan and granted the Company an extension through May 29, 2024 to evidence completion of its plan.

 

On April 15, 2024, the Company received an additional notification letter (the “Additional Letter”) from Nasdaq that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s Common Stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 14, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. The Company’s failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its Common Stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

Although the Company believes it will be able to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Markets continued listing requirements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), or maintain compliance with any other listing requirements within the time frame required by Nasdaq or at all. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy the requirements necessary to transfer the listing of its Common Stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq’s determination that we fail to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

 

 

Our Aircraft Operations

 

In July 2021, we leased a HondaJet aircraft under a short-term lease arrangement, which terminated in February 2022, to accelerate our aircraft operations and sales of jet card memberships. We have acquired four HondaJet Elite aircraft under our 2020 Purchase Agreement with Honda Aircraft Company, discussed under “– Our Aircraft” below, all four of which have been sold, but three of which remain part of our fleet, as discussed below, with three of the four aircraft having been delivered in 2022. Great Western Air, LLC (DBA Cirrus Aviation Services, LLC) (“Cirrus”) is managing, operating, and maintaining our aircraft and has a growing team of pilots that have been specially trained on the HondaJet at the Flight Safety facility on the Honda Aircraft Company campus in Greensboro, NC. Cirrus has additionally developed a safety co-pilot training program in coordination with the FAA and a local flight training academy for licensed pilots already skilled with the Garmin 1000 avionics suite.

 

We offer the following programs for our HondaJet Elite aircraft:

 

	●	Fractional ownership program: This program provides potential owners the ability to purchase a share in a jet at a fraction of the cost of acquiring an entire aircraft. Each 1/5 share guarantees 75 occupied hours of usage per year with 24 hours of notice. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a monthly management fee and an hourly usage fee. As part of the aircraft purchase agreement, the buyer enters into an aircraft management agreement which lasts three years and, at the end of the contract period, the aircraft is typically sold, and the owners are given their pro-rata share of the sale proceeds. The three-year term is not renewable. Our current contracts do not contemplate the re-fractioning of the aircraft to other buyers at the end of the term, but rather a whole aircraft sale to a single buyer. Monthly management fees are in general subject to an annual CPI-W based step-up. CPI-W is a measure of cost inflation commonly used in long term aviation service contracts with OEMs and engine manufacturers.
	●	Jet card program: A membership in our jet card program generally includes 10, 25 or 50 occupied hours of usage per year with 24 hours of notice. Members generally pay 100% upfront and then fly for a fixed hourly rate over the next twelve months. Those who require guaranteed availability may pay a membership fee for an additional charge. Jet card program members may interchange as a set ratio per aircraft onto any one of twenty jets operated by our partner, Cirrus.

 

In addition to servicing members, fractional owners and third-party charter clients, our HondaJets are available to address unexpected cancellations or delays on brokered charters. Unlike most of our brokerage competitors, as well as many business jet management companies which require owner approval before their aircraft can be used for third party charter, we believe maintaining a fleet of readily available aircraft to back fill third party charter services provides more reliability and is an attractive selling point for potential clients.

 

In 2022, we entered into agreements with Cirrus under which we will sell jet cards for Cirrus’s aircraft, for a commission for sales and client management services, and we make Cirrus’s aircraft available to our customers for charter bookings at preferred rates and with certain service guarantees. As a result, our jet card members and charter customers have access to twenty of Cirrus’s aircraft in the light, mid, super-mid, heavy, and ultra-long-range categories, comprising the following aircraft: CJ3+, CJ4, Lear 45XR, Citation XLS+, Lear 60, Hawker 900XP, Challenger 300, Challenger 604, Falcon 900EX, Challenger 850, Gulfstream V and Gulfstream G550.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we launched the Onboard Program to allow aircraft owners to contribute their aircraft to the Company’s charter and jet card inventory. The Onboard Program requires one month FAA conformity of aircraft onto the Cirrus Aviation Part 135 certificate, a one-week pilot recertification course for charter operation and execution of a limited management agreement. To date we have a CJ4 customer aircraft managed pursuant to our OnBoard Program.

 

Our Software Platforms

 

Our Booking Platform CharterGPT

 

Our booking platform displays a variety of options across private aircraft types in addition to the pricing of our own aircraft, with a range of prices drawn from a list of thousands of aircraft for hire. We offer users the ability to request a jet and to simultaneously task us with seeking a lower-cost otherwise superior alternative. Our App (or CharterGPT) is directly connected via our application programming interface (API) to Avinode, the major centralized database in private aviation. Through Avinode we can electronically and automatically correspond with operators of private jets who have posted their aircraft for hire. We envision a time when CharterGPT draws upon resources other than Avinode for private aircraft inventory, in particular we contemplate a connection between the inventory found in Reroute AI and CharterGPT.

 

 

The CharterGPT app, which we released in the iOS and Android stores in 2023 to replace the charter booking function of our Jet Token App, automates certain of these manual steps involved in charter bookings, and we believe this automation will enable us to scale charter activity with fewer persons than would be normally required. In particular, CharterGPT is designed to do the following: (1) intake travel requirements in natural language and then interact with customers to provide substantive replies and actionable suggestions with quality indistinguishable from an experienced charter professional; (2) power the content behind outbound calls to smaller charter operators to confirm electronic indications of interest communicated via the Avinode centralized booking database of private aircraft; (3) reconcile the natural language terms in a third party jet operator contract with the terms and conditions in the contract the customer signs with us (4) verify that payment for the charter has cleared.

 

Jet.AI Operator Platform

 

Jet.AI provides and continues to develop a B2B software platform for a suite of SaaS products termed “Jet.AI Operator Platform” which currently consists of:

 

Reroute AI

 

In 2024 we launched Reroute AI. Reroute AI software is web based and enables FAA Part 135 operators to earn revenue on otherwise empty flight legs. When prompted with basic travel itinerary information such as city pair and date of travel, Reroute AI searches its database of empty flight legs and proposes novel combinations of those legs that meet these constraints it has been given. Its database of empty flight legs comes from API integrations with certain other databases and a ChatGPT enhanced scrape of publicly available empty leg lists published by Part 135 operators. An operator may upload its own aircraft tail numbers and empty leg list if for any reason one or both have not already been uploaded into the system. Jet.AI generates revenue from Reroute AI when an operator wishes to book an itinerary proposed by the software that involves the use of aircraft outside that operator’s fleet. In that instance, Jet.AI acts as broker to the operator using Reroute AI’s proposed itinerary and a human in the loop to negotiate the new pricing and new routing of the third party operator’s aircraft.

 

DynoFlight

 

DynoFlight is a software API that we launched at the end of 2023. It enables aircraft operators to track and estimate emissions and then purchase carbon offset credits. DynoFlight offers small to medium sized operators a way to begin tracking and offsetting their carbon credits with advances estimation techniques, compliant practices, and quality credits at prices usually only accessible to operators working at a much larger scale that are buying in bulk. In February, 2024, the Company announced a collaboration with FL3XX, a web and app-based aviation management platform, to introduce the DynoFlight carbon offset platform to FL3XX customers. We believe the DynoFlight API may offer an advantage even to large organizations that wish to manage working capital more efficiently (i.e. pay as they fly instead of buying in bulk). We are currently in the process of integrating the DynoFlight API with the FL3XX systems. We believe that, once the DynoFlight API has been integrated with FL3XX and future customers, it will generate monthly and usage-based revenues with modest operating costs limited to server administration and maintenance of the code base.

 

FlightClub – Cirrus Specific

 

The Flight Club API is designed to enable FAA Part 135 operators to function simultaneously under FAA Part 380 which permits sale of private jet service by the seat instead of by whole aircraft. The Flight Club software integrates front end ticketing and payment collection with the flight management systems of an FAA Part 135 operator. It automates the process of filing forms for each flight with DOT and conforms with DOT escrow requirements around ticketing and movement of customer funds. Our initial use case of the Flight Club is through 380 Software LLC, a 50% owned subsidiary founded in co-operation with our operating partner and 50% owner of 380 Software LLC, Cirrus Aviation. The Company retains all rights to the technology powering 380 Software LLC and has granted 380 Software LLC a perpetual non-transferrable license. This initial implementation of the Flight Club permits the owners of Cirrus Aviation-managed aircraft to fly on one another’s planes at a significantly reduced cost when those planes are otherwise flying empty. The operating costs of these flights are typically borne by the previous charter customer who is typically obliged to pay not only the cost of an outbound leg but also the cost of the return leg. The charter customer is typically obliged to pay the cost of the return because the sale of the empty return is an inherently low probability event based on historical industry experience.

 

 

We are currently focused on our partnership with the Las Vegas Golden Knights and on integrating with their systems to generate seat sales. Once we learn more from the Cirrus and Las Vegas Golden Knight partnerships we will decide whether to expand the availability of Flight Club.

 

Strategy

 

Aircraft Operations

 

Having successfully executed the HondaJet four aircraft fleet deal and further having sold through all four aircraft, three of which remain part of our fleet, as discussed below, we plan to gradually expand our fleet with super-mid-size aircraft and the help of our operating partner, Cirrus. Cirrus manages a fleet of 30 jets in Las Vegas, where we are headquartered. We have executed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire five new Challenger 3500 aircraft from Bombardier, consisting of three prospective firm orders and two options. Subject to (1) our securing of debt financing to fund the initial fleet purchase down payment and (2) the development of a management, interchange and support plan with our partner Cirrus, we would then plan to execute a formal fleet purchase agreement, and anticipate being able to secure the first Challenger 3500 delivery in the second quarter of 2026. Once a fleet purchase agreement is in force, we would then look to pre-sell fraction interests in these aircraft with a bias toward larger fractions. Upon delivery, the jets would in turn be managed by Cirrus and listed on their Part 135 certificate. Customers would be expected to make a down payment and progress payments, consistent with fractional industry norms.

 

Given the two-year timeframe prior to delivery, the Company may consider independent development of Part 135 operations, subject to management’s internal return on capital targets and, depending on the level of scale, the prospective benefits of enhanced operational control on customer service.

 

Because all major manufacturers of super-mid or large cabin aircraft such as Gulfstream, Falcon, Bombardier, Embraer, and Textron each have one to three year waiting lists for super-mid-size jets, many of our fractional competitors can only pre-sell, and remain otherwise unable to offer the related service. Our strategy is to allow customers, in advance of delivery, to fly on Cirrus’s managed Challenger 300/350, 604/605 and 850 model Bombardier aircraft. In return the customer would pay a monthly management fee (MMF) and an occupied hourly fee (OHF) at rates substantially similar to those for their Challenger 3500. We believe this “buy and fly” approach may resonate with market participants who may appreciate the convenience of a fractional program without the extraordinarily long wait.

 

Conventional wisdom in private aviation has been that a light jet FAA Part 135 operation presents financial challenges because the lower hourly rate of a light jet leaves little margin to pay a second pilot and remain profitable. Thanks to our partnership with Cirrus, we have addressed this concern by having a typed pilot in command with at least 1,500 hours in jets, 1,000 of which must have been in the HondaJet specifically, fly alongside a co-pilot who has been through an FAA approved ground school developed by Cirrus and Chennault Flying Service. This “safety co-pilot” is permitted to operate the aircraft in the unlikely event the pilot in command is incapacitated or otherwise unable to act. The HondaJet, which has been designated by the FAA for single pilot operation, integrates the Garmin 3000 flight system and by law does not require a second pilot to fly. This safety co-pilot program brings trained pilots who are already schooled in either the Garmin 1000 or Garmin 3000 flight system, gives them additional training on the HondaJet and Garmin 300 system, and then allows them to develop their skills alongside a mentor. Importantly, the presence of this safety co-pilot is regarded by our insurer as sufficient to maintain our present level of premium. The safety pilot does not require a full wage because of their status as a trainee and the professional value they gain from accruing jet flight hours. This lower cost of labor helps the Company overcome the traditional costs of paying a second pilot and helps bring a stream of prospective pilot in command candidates. Some safety pilots are newer to aviation while others have had many years of flight training and thousands of hours of flight time on civilian (or military) jet or turboprop aircraft. We believe that the comparatively low cost of entry of the HondaJet and the proven capabilities of the Challenger 3500 are attractive to new and seasoned traveler alike, particularly given our ability to offer interchange between the two aircraft and onto any one of twenty of the thirty aircraft managed by Cirrus. In addition, while some customers have shorter mission profiles and lower passenger loads better suited to the HondaJet others have longer mission profiles with higher passenger loads – and so the HondaJet and the Challenger 3500 (plus Cirrus’s fleet) again make an excellent combination in our view. We have taken a gradual approach to fleet expansion given the capital-intensive nature of aviation and our view that customers should bear the risk (and related tax reward) of owning and maintaining airplanes.

 

 

Jet.AI Operator Platform

 

Jet.AI provides and continues to develop a B2B software platform for a suite of SaaS products termed “Jet.AI Operator Platform.” In addition to continuing to develop and enhance Reroute AI and DynoFlight, we may further develop our Flight Club API described above to make it available to Part 135 operators more broadly. We also plan to further enhance our internally developed membership portal.

 

Artificial Intelligence

 

We operate an app in the iOS and Android stores. The app functions as a prospecting and quoting tool for those interested in chartering a private jet. In 2023, we released an enhanced booking app called CharterGPT to automate much of the manual labor in charter bookings for all of the steps between a customer’s firm indication of interest and their arrival at ultimate destination. We believe this automation will enable us to scale charter activity with fewer persons than would be normally required. In particular, CharterGPT is designed to do the following: (1) intake travel requirements in natural language and then interact with customers to provide substantive replies and actionable suggestions with quality indistinguishable from an experienced charter professional; (2) power the content behind outbound calls to smaller charter operators to confirm electronic indications of interest communicated via the Avinode centralized booking database of private aircraft; (3) reconcile the natural language terms in a third party jet operator contract with the terms and conditions in the contract the customer signs with us (4) verify that payment for the charter has cleared.

 

In addition, in 2024, we incorporated the following AI-powered features to offer a continually improving unique and personalized experience to customers:

 

Aircraft Recommendation Engine: Our This feature provides customers greater transparency and understanding of the characteristics of charter relevant to their trips, making it easier for them to make an informed decision. The recommendation engine analyzes a list of available jets based on the travelers request, and considers factors such as budget, preferred aircraft size, age of aircraft, distance of the trip compared with non-stop/range capability, number of passengers, ages and weights of passengers and their respective bags compared with cargo capacity, basic take-off weight limitations, operator safety audit (Argus/Wyvern), cabin amenities such as a fully enclosed lavatory, WiFi availability and years since last interior refurbishment.

 

Customer service: This feature provides intelligent customer service by using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to understand and respond to initial booking requests. Untrained call center staff and brittle chat bots characterize much of the customer facing experience today in the US. With the advent of AI, we believe that even for high ticket items, consumers will come to expect a natural language interface trained on terabytes of data that relate specifically to their respective purchases.

 

Charter brokerage is labor intensive, and most customers are highly price sensitive. We believe these two factors explain why no charter broker has acquired more than 3-5% of the one million brokered flights that land each year in North America. The back end of the App is expected to provide three features that may address the labor intensity (and hence scalability) of our charter brokerage business. First, each charter operator has its own form of legal contract for carriage and that contract must be reconciled with the terms found in the charter brokers’ agreement with the passenger. Our AI is expected to perform this reconciliation automatically, improving the speed to close with the client and reducing labor costs. Second, many charter operators do not initially respond to electronic requests delivered through the Avinode charter database that powers our app. Our generative chat AI is expected to perform outbound voice calls to prompt aircraft operators to respond to quotes we have requested via the web interface to their Avinode account. Third, we expect to develop our AI to integrate with Schedero (an Avinode based scheduling application) to generate a trip sheet for a given charter and then to further integrate with Stripe to invoice and confirm payment via credit card, wire, or ACH.

 

In addition, we are developing the following AI-powered features to incorporate into the AI functionality of CharterGPT:

 

Predictive Destination Optimization: CharterGPT is expected to initially make use of information such as airport closures, fuel prices, historical traffic patterns, landing fees, and traveler preferences to then recommend which private airport to select when a traveler’s destination address is serviced by multiple airstrips. For example, Los Angeles is serviced by Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Van Nuys Airport (KVNY), Burbank Bob Hope Airport (KBUR), John Wayne Airport (KSNA). Landing at an airport farther from one’s ultimate destination may save time if doing so enables faster ground transportation.

 

 

Predictive Departure Date: CharterGPT is expected to analyze historical pricing data and forward-looking event data related to a given itinerary to predict the best date to book a flight to obtain the lowest price for their desired charter itinerary. Although approximately thirty-five blackout days a year are widely understood to absorb most domestic private aviation capacity, a variety of lesser appreciated grey-out days centered around key sporting events or entirely new happenings can affect both regional and national pricing.

 

Predictive Departure Time: CharterGPT is expected to use machine learning algorithms to recommend the optimal departure time based on both historical and live weather conditions, air traffic, and other factors, to help customers more reliably arrive at their destination on time.

 

Predictive Ground Transportation: CharterGPT is expected to recommend ground transportation. For example, some airports run out of rental cars at certain times each year because of an annual conference or other recurring special event. Some of our competitors have taken steps to remedy the shortage at some airports by positioning in their own vehicles for customer use.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Our marketing and advertising efforts are focused on high-net-worth individuals. We have observed that many first-time private flyers came to market beginning in 2020 in an effort to avoid commercial travel and thereby curtail their prospective exposure to COVID-19. We intend to continue to expand our marketing and advertising through the following channels: online marketing, television advertising and event marketing. Paid social media and search engine advertising drive our online marketing. In the past we have launched 15 and 30 second advertising spots that are targeted at high-net-worth individuals and corporate executives through several channels, including CNBC, Fox Business, and The Golf Channel, as well as online through Facebook and Linked-In. We intend to expand social media and event marketing in particular, provided those meet our internal return targets. With respect to event marketing we intend to have a presence at sporting events, business jet industry gatherings and Company hosted aircraft static displays.

 

Market Opportunity

 

Over the past 30 years, the market for private jet travel has transformed significantly. First the model of full aircraft ownership transformed into fractional ownership with companies such as NetJets and FlexJet. This was followed by operators offering jet cards and on-demand service through their fleet of aircraft. The latest iteration of private jet travel provides even more flexibility by providing an on-demand service to travelers while leveraging the flight availability of one or more third party carriers. The result of this transformation is a highly segmented industry with numerous market participants offering varying levels of ownership.

 

We believe that by combining the private jet on-demand model with commercial airline flight availability and prospectively the underutilized flight hours of private jet operators, our Company will be positioned to provide optimum flexibility and cost efficiency for our clients.

 

Our Aircraft

 

The Company’s aircraft fleet consists of four aircraft – three HondaJet HA-420 aircraft (the “HondaJet Elites”) and one Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft. The Company acquired the three HondaJet Elites pursuant to a Purchase Agreement with Honda Aircraft Company for a multi-aircraft deal for four HondaJet Elites. One of the HondaJet Elites in our current fleet was sold and is now leased by the Company from Western Finance Company. The other two HondaJet Elites in our current fleet were purchased and subsequently financed through the sale of all fractional interests in each of these aircraft. We also acquired a fourth HondaJet Elite pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Honda Aircraft Company, but we sold this aircraft in June 2022, after we determined, based on our internal financial and legal review, that the sale of the aircraft would offer a net benefit to our stakeholders. The fourth aircraft in our current fleet - the Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft - is wholly owned by one of our customers who committed his aircraft to us via our Onboard Program for management and charter pursuant to our limited management agreement. Under the terms of our management agreement, which has a term of one year that automatically renews unless otherwise terminated by either party upon 30 days prior notice, the customer pays us a monthly management fee for services, including aircraft management services, flight crew services, such as pilot hiring, flight operations services, aircraft maintenance management and other administrative services.

 

HondaJet Elite aircraft are ideally suited for trips under 3 hours carrying 2-4 passengers plus two pilots. We believe the HondaJet Elite aircraft is one of the most spacious and cost-efficient light jets on the market with ample baggage and interior room (including an enclosed lavatory). The wing mounted engines allow for a tranquil, spacious interior. Engines on the wings mean less weight on the tail and more room in the cabin.

 

 

As discussed above in “Business – Strategy – Aircraft Operations” above we have executed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire five new Challenger 3500 aircraft from Bombardier, consisting of three prospective firm orders and two options. Subject to (1) our securing of debt financing to fund the initial fleet purchase down payment and (2) the development of a management, interchange and support plan with our partner Cirrus, we would then plan to execute a formal fleet purchase agreement, and anticipate being able to secure the first Challenger 3500 delivery in the second quarter of 2026. once a fleet purchase agreement is in force, we would then look to pre-sell one quarter, one half or full interest in these aircraft. Upon delivery, the jets would in turn be managed by Cirrus and listed on their Part 135 certificate. Customers would be expected to make a down payment and progress payments, consistent with fractional industry norms.

 

If we include its predecessors the Challenger 300 and Challenger 350, Bombardier has sold over 1,000 serial numbers in the Challenger 3500 line, which in our view remains one of the most popular and reliable super-mid-size jets in the world. The aircraft requires no major scheduled maintenance overhaul in its first two years of service, a testament to the depth of historical experience the manufacturer has developed with this model of aircraft since the Challenger 300 was introduced in 1999. The spacious 8-9 seat stand-up cabin, 43,000 foot flight ceiling and Mach 0.83 capability, make it a leading choice for travelers. After twenty-four years in service the Challenger 300/350/3500 airframe has attracted a sizable community of typed pilots and Bombardier has constructed 41 worldwide service centers (11 in the US) to support utilization.

 

We currently base our fleet at Harry Reid International airport in Las Vegas, NV, a top ten private jet destination and may relocate the fleet based on seasonal travel patterns and the travel patterns of our membership.

 

Based on our experience, and in light of many of our competitors restricting charters on certain “blackout dates,” we estimate that thirty calendar days per year (due to holidays, major sporting events, etc.) it is extremely difficult to fly private without the guaranteed access provided by a jet membership program such as ours. The ability to safely offer guaranteed capacity, on demand, is one of the most important features one can deliver in private aviation. Also, our aircraft give us the ability to attract online visitors with dynamically priced offers.

 

We have entered into an Executive Aircraft Management and Charter Services Agreement with Cirrus. Under this agreement, Cirrus provides management services to us with respect to the marketing, operation, maintenance and administration of our aircraft. Specifically, following the initial set-up services, Cirrus provides Flight Crew Services, including selection, training, employment and management of the pilots necessary for operating the Company’s Aircraft; Flight Operation Services, including flight scheduling, following and support services; Aircraft Maintenance Services, including maintenance of the Aircraft and/or management of maintenance of the Aircraft performed by third parties, related maintenance support functions and the administration of the Aircraft’s log books, manuals, data, records, reports and subscriptions; Administrative Services, including budgeting, accounting and reporting services; Facility Services, including providing and/or arranging for aircraft hangar and support facilities at the Aircraft’s Operating Base and other locations at which the Aircraft may be situated from time to time; and Insurance Services, including providing insurance policies for the Aircraft.

 

Cirrus is the largest private jet charter company based in Las Vegas. The Cirrus team has been managing and operating aircraft – commercially and privately – for more than 40 years. In addition, Cirrus is:

 

	●	FAA Eligible On-Demand Approved
	●	ARG/US Platinum Rated
	●	Wyvern Recommended

 

Cirrus maintains, services and operates our aircraft on our behalf and in compliance with all applicable FAA regulations and certification requirements. Cirrus has the capability to provide substitute aircraft at competitive rates in periods of excess demand for our aircraft.

 

Competition

 

The private air travel industry is extraordinarily competitive. We will compete against private jet charter and fractional jet companies. Established private jet brokerage and fractional companies include but are not limited to, NetJets, FlexJet, VistaGlobal (including JetSmarter powered by XO), SentientJet, WheelsUp, JetSuite, Flight Options, Nicholas Air, Jet Alliance, Executive Air Share, Plane Sense, One Sky Jets, StarJets, Jet Aviation, Volato and Luxury Aircraft Solutions. All compete for passengers with a variety of pricing plans, aircraft types, blackout periods, booking terms, flyer programs and other products and services, including seating, food, entertainment and other on-board amenities.

 

 

Both the private jet charter companies and the legacy airlines and low-cost carriers have numerous competitive advantages that enable them to attract both business and leisure travelers. Our competitors may have corporate travel contracts that direct large numbers of employees to fly with a preferred carrier. The enormous route networks operated by our competitors, combined with their marketing and partnership relationships with regional airlines and international alliance partner carriers, allow them to generate increased passenger traffic from domestic and international cities. Our access to smaller aircraft fleet networks and lack of connecting traffic and marketing alliances puts us at a competitive disadvantage, particularly with respect to our appeal to higher-fare business travelers.

 

The fractional private jet companies and the legacy airlines and low-cost carriers each operate larger fleets of aircraft and have greater financial resources, which would permit them to add service in response to our entry into new markets. Due to our relatively small size, we are more susceptible to fare wars or other competitive activities, which could prevent us from attaining the level of traffic or maintaining the level of sales required to sustain profitable operations.

 

In 2018 and 2019, respectively, VistaJet acquired XOJET and JetSmarter, combining its heavy jet subscription-based service targeting multinational corporations and ultra-high net worth individuals with XOJET’s super-midsize jet on demand service and JetSmarter’s digital booking platform for business aviation. In addition, during 2020, Wheels Up acquired Delta Private Jets as well as Gama Aviation, a business jet services company and in 2021 Vista Jet acquired a number of smaller players as well as Apollo Jets. Increased consolidation in our industry could further intensify the competitive environment we face.

Regulation

 

Regulations Applicable to the Ownership and Operation of Our Aircraft

 

Once we have leased our aircraft, Cirrus, which will maintain and manage our aircraft, is subject to a high degree of regulation that affects our business, including regulations governing aviation activity, safety standards and environmental standards.

 

U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”)

 

The DOT primarily regulates economic issues affecting air transportation such as the air carrier’s financial and management fitness, insurance, consumer protection and competitive practices. The DOT has the authority to investigate and bring proceedings to enforce its regulations and may assess civil penalties, revoke operating authority, and seek criminal sanctions. Our operating as an air charter carrier is regulated and certificated by the DOT. The DOT authorizes the carrier to engage in on-demand air transportation within the United States, its territories, and possessions. The DOT can suspend or revoke that authority for cause, essentially stopping all operations.

 

 

Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”)

 

The FAA primarily regulates flight operations, in particular matters affecting air safety, such as airworthiness requirements for aircraft and pilot, mechanic, dispatcher and flight attendant certification. The FAA regulates:

 

	●	aircraft and associated equipment (and all aircraft are subject to ongoing airworthiness standards),
	●	maintenance and repair facility certification
	●	certification and regulation of pilots and cabin crew, and
	●	management of airspace.

 

In order to engage in air transportation for hire, each air carrier is required to obtain an FAA operating certificate authorizing the airline to operate using specified equipment in specified types of air service. In the case of our leased aircraft, it is a Part 135 license. The FAA has the authority to modify, suspend temporarily or revoke permanently the authority to provide air transportation for failure to comply with FAA regulations. The FAA can assess civil penalties for such failures or institute proceedings for the imposition and collection of monetary fines for the violation of certain FAA regulations. The FAA can revoke authority to provide air transportation on an emergency basis, without notice and hearing, where significant safety issues are involved. The FAA monitors compliance with maintenance, flight operations and safety regulations, maintains onsite representatives and performs inspections of a carrier’s aircraft, employees and records.

 

The FAA also has the authority to issue maintenance/airworthiness directives and other mandatory orders relating to aircraft and engines, fire retardant and smoke detection devices, collision and windshear avoidance systems, navigational equipment, noise abatement and the mandatory removal and replacement of aircraft parts that have failed or may fail in the future. FAA enforcement authority over aircraft includes the power to ground aircraft or limit their usage.

 

Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”)

 

The TSA is responsible for oversight of passenger and baggage screening, cargo security measures, airport security, assessment and distribution of intelligence and security research and development. Air carriers are subject to TSA mandates and oversight in connection with screening passenger identities and screening baggage. TSA regulations governing passenger identification, which we will apply at the time of the Company purchase as well as at the time of travel, requires all passengers to provide identification using a valid verifying identity document. In addition, all passengers must provide their full name, date of birth, and gender, which is screened against the travel ban watch list in effect at the time of initial screening and at the time of travel.

 

All air carriers are also subject to certain provisions of the Communications Act of 1934 because of their extensive use of radio and other communication facilities and are required to obtain an aeronautical radio license from the Federal Communications Commission, or the FCC.

 

Property

 

We lease space for our corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada and a satellite office in San Francisco, consisting of office space and the use of shared conference facilities.

Family Relationships

 

There are no familial relationships among the Jet.AI directors and executive officers.

 

Board Composition

 

The Board is comprised of seven directors and is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Jet.AI’s directors are among the three classes as follows:

 

	●	the Class I directors are Lt. Col. Ran David and Jeffrey Woods and their terms will expire at the 1st annual meeting of stockholders after Closing;
	●	the Class II directors are William Yankus and Wrendon Timothy and their terms will expire at the 2nd annual meeting of stockholders after Closing; and
	●	the Class III directors are Michael Winston, George Murnane and Ehud Talmor and their terms will expire at the 3rd annual meeting of stockholders after Closing.

 

Directors in a particular class will be elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which their terms expire. As a result, only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of Jet.AI stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal. This classification of the Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in Jet.AI’s control or management.

 

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that only the Board can fill vacant directorships, including newly-created seats. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors would be distributed pro rata among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class would consist of one-third of the authorized number of directors. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that Jet.AI’s directors may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

 

Director Independence

 

The Board determined that each of the directors serving on the Board, other than Michael Winston and George Murnane, qualifies as an independent director, as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq, and the Board consists of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to director independence requirements. In addition, Jet.AI is subject to certain rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

The Board does not have a policy requiring the positions of the Chairperson of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer to be separate or held by the same individual. The members of the Board believe that this determination should be based on circumstances existing from time to time, based on criteria that are in Jet.AI’s best interests and the best interests of its stockholders, including the composition, skills and experience of the board and its members, specific challenges faced by Jet.AI or the industry in which it operates and governance efficiency. The Board adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provide for the appointment of a lead independent director at any time when the Chairperson is not independent. Wrendon Timothy serves as the lead independent director.

 

Board Committees

 

The Board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which have the composition and responsibilities described below. The Board and its committees will set schedules for meeting throughout the year and can also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time, as appropriate. The Board will delegate various responsibilities and authority to its committees and the committees will regularly report on their activities and actions to the full board of directors. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board. The Board may establish other committees to facilitate the management of the Company’s business as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

 

Each committee of the Board will operate under a written charter approved by the Board. Copies of each charter are posted on the Investor Relations section of Jet.AI’s website at investors.jet.ai. The inclusion of the Company’s website address or the reference to Jet.AI’s website in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on the Company’s website into this prospectus.

 

Audit Committee

 

Jet.AI’s audit committee is comprised of Wrendon Timothy, William Yankus and Ehud Talmor, with Mr. Timothy serving as audit committee chairperson. The Board determined that Messrs. Timothy, Yankus and Talmor each meet the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations, including Rule 10A-3. In addition, the Board determined that each of Messrs. Timothy and Yankus is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation does not impose any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of the audit committee and the Board. The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

 

	●	selecting a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit Jet.AI’s financial statements;
	●	helping to ensure the independence and overseeing the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm;
	●	reviewing and discussing the results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing, with management and that firm, Jet.AI’s interim and year-end operating results;
	●	reviewing Jet.AI’s financial statements and critical accounting policies and estimates;
	●	reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of Jet.AI’s internal controls;
	●	developing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters;

 

 

	●	overseeing Jet.AI’s policies on risk assessment and risk management;
	●	overseeing compliance with Jet.AI’s code of business conduct and ethics;
	●	reviewing related party transactions; and
	●	approving or, as permitted, pre-approving all audit and all permissible non-audit services (other than de minimis non-audit services) to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The audit committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq, and which is available on Jet.AI’s website. All audit services to be provided to Jet.AI and all permissible non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be provided to Jet.AI by Jet.AI’s independent registered public accounting firm will be approved in advance by the audit committee.

 

Compensation Committee

 

Jet.AI’s compensation committee is comprised of Lt. Col. Ran David, Wrendon Timothy and Ehud Talmor, and Mr. Talmor is the chairperson of the compensation committee. The Board determined that each member of the compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of the committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

	●	reviewing, approving and determining, or making recommendations to the Board regarding, the compensation of Jet.AI’s executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer;
	●	making recommendations regarding non-employee director compensation to the full Board;
	●	administering Jet.AI’s equity compensation plans and agreements with Jet.AI executive officers;
	●	reviewing, approving and administering incentive compensation and equity compensation plans; and
	●	reviewing and approving Jet.AI’s overall compensation philosophy.

 

The compensation committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq listing standards, and is available on Jet.AI’s website.

 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

The nominating and corporate governance committee is comprised of William Yankus, Wrendon Timothy and Jeff Woods, and Mr. Woods is the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The Board determined that each member of the nominating and corporate governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

	●	identifying, evaluating and selecting, or making recommendations to the Board regarding nominees for election to the Board and its committees;
	●	considering and making recommendations to the Board regarding the composition of the Board and its committees;
	●	developing and making recommendations to the Board regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters;
	●	overseeing Jet.AI’s corporate governance practices;
	●	overseeing the evaluation and the performance of the Board and individual directors; and
	●	contributing to succession planning.

 

 

The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq listing standards and is available on Jet.AI’s website.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

The Board adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of Jet.AI’s directors, officers and employees, including Jet.AI’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Corporate Governance section of Jet.AI’s website. In addition, Jet.AI intends to post on the Corporate Governance section of Jet.AI’s website all disclosures that are required by law or the listing standards of Nasdaq concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

None of the members of the Jet.AI compensation committee is or has been at any time one of Jet.AI’s officers or employees. None of Jet.AI’s executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board of directors committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of any entity that has or has had one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Board or compensation committee.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Certificate of Incorporation limits Jet.AI’s directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

 

	●	for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;
	●	for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
	●	for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or
	●	for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

 

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of Jet.AI’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

 

Delaware law and the Bylaws provide that Jet.AI will, in certain situations, indemnify Jet.AI’s directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

 

In addition, Jet.AI has entered into separate indemnification agreements with Jet.AI’s directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require Jet.AI to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of Jet.AI’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at Jet.AI’s request.

 

Jet.AI also maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which Jet.AI’s directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Jet.AI is considered a smaller reporting company and an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act and has opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to such companies. These rules provide for reduced compensation disclosure for the principal executive officer and the two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer (the “named executive officers”). This section provides an overview of our executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below. In order to provide a fuller understanding of the compensation arrangements with our executive officers, the Company has presented full year 2023 and 2022 information, including compensation paid by Jet Token prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

 

For fiscal year 2023 and 2022, the named executive officers were:

 

	●	Michael Winston, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Jet.AI Inc. following the Business Combination (Founder and Executive Chairman and Treasurer of Jet Token);
	●	George Murnane, Interim Chief Financial Officer of Jet.AI Inc. following the Business Combination (Chief Executive Officer and President of Jet Token); and
	●	Patrick McNulty, Chief Operating Officer of Jet.AI Inc. following the Business Combination (Chief Operating Officer of Jet Token).

 

Jet.AI believes its compensation programs should promote the success of the Company and align executive incentives with the long-term interests of its stockholders. Jet.AI’s compensation programs reflect its startup origins and consist primarily of salary, bonus and equity awards. As Jet.AI’s needs evolve, it intends to continue to evaluate its philosophy and compensation programs as circumstances require.

These option grants were made pursuant to the 2023 Jet.AI Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), which was initially approved by the Oxbridge Board of Directors on July 10, 2023, and by the Oxbridge stockholders in connection with the approval of the Business Combination on August 7, 2023. The Omnibus Incentive Plan became effective as of August 10, 2023, upon the completion of the Business Combination and is described below under “– The Omnibus Incentive Plan.”

 

In addition, on December 26, 2023, the Board approved, at the recommendation of the compensation committee and subject to stockholder approval of a proposed 2023 Jet.AI Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Proposed Amended and Restated Plan”) at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting, the grant of incentive stock options to Mr. Murnane, exercisable for 60,000 shares of Common Stock, and to Mr. McNulty, exercisable for 90,000 shares of Common Stock. These options are expected to be granted following the annual meeting following stockholder approval of the Proposed Amended and Restated Plan, which is discussed below under “—The Omnibus Incentive Plan.” The options would vest 1/3 each year beginning December 26, 2024 at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the Proposed Amended and Restated Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, which will be the date of grant, and expiring on the 10^th anniversary of the grant date.

 

The Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants, including the direct award or sale of shares, stock options, and restricted stock units to purchase shares. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is a continuation of the 2018 Plan and 2021 Plan, which were assumed from Jet Token and amended, restated and re-named into the form of the Omnibus Incentive Plan effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023, subject to adjustment and annual increases (as described under “– Stock Subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan” below), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 394,329 shares, of which 390,000 total shares have been reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

 

 

The Company is requesting that stockholders approve an amended and restated 2023 Jet.AI Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”), to establish a fixed number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Amended and Restated Plan at 2,460,000 shares and to eliminate the automatic share replenishment (or “evergreen”) provision described under “ – Stock Subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan” below. Upon recommendation of the compensation committee, the Board approved the Amended and Restated Plan on April 21, 2024, subject to the approval of stockholders at the 2024 annual meeting. Otherwise, the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan remain the same.

 

Summary

 

The following is a summary of the principal features of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

Purpose

 

The purpose of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is to advance the interests of Jet.AI and its stockholders by enabling Jet.AI and its subsidiaries and affiliates to attract and retain qualified individuals to perform services, by providing incentive compensation for such individuals in a form that is linked to the growth and profitability of Jet.AI and increases in stockholder value, and by providing opportunities for equity participation that align the interests of recipients with those of its stockholders.

 

Administration

 

The board of directors of Jet.AI will administer the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The board has the authority under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to delegate plan administration to a committee of the board or a subcommittee thereof. The board of directors of Jet.AI or the committee of the board to which administration of the Omnibus Incentive Plan has been delegated is referred to in this prospectus as the Committee. Subject to certain limitations, the Committee will have broad authority under the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan to take certain actions under the plan.

 

To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain limitations as provided in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of Jet.AI such administrative duties or powers under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, as it may deem advisable.

 

No Re-pricing

 

The Committee may not, without prior approval of the stockholders of Jet.AI, effect any re-pricing of any previously granted “underwater” option or SAR by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the option or SAR to lower the exercise price or grant price; (ii) canceling the underwater option or SAR in exchange for (A) cash; (B) replacement options or SARs having a lower exercise price or grant price; or (C) other awards; or (iii) repurchasing the underwater options or SARs and granting new awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. An option or SAR will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the fair market value of Common Stock of Jet.AI is less than the exercise price of the option or the grant price of the SAR.

 

Stock Subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

Subject to adjustment (as described below), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 394,329 shares, with an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on January 1, 2033 equal to: (A) such amount of shares of Common Stock such that the total number of shares available for issuance under this Plan, plus the total number of shares reserved for issuance under outstanding Jet Token Options and Jet Token RSU Awards (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement) assumed in connection with the Business Combination, is equal to ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares then issued and outstanding as of the last day of the prior fiscal year; and (B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as may be determined by the Board.

 

Shares that are issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan or that are subject to outstanding awards will be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan only to the extent they are used; provided, however, that the full number of shares subject to a stock-settled SAR or other stock-based award will be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, regardless of the number of shares actually issued upon settlement of such SAR or other stock-based award. Any shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations on awards issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, any shares withheld to pay the exercise price or grant price of awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and any shares not issued or delivered as a result of the “net exercise” of an outstanding option or settlement of a SAR in shares will not be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and will be available again for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Shares subject to awards settled in cash will again be available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Any shares related to awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of the shares will be available again for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Any shares repurchased by Jet.AI on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an award will not increase the number of shares available for future grant of awards. To the extent permitted by applicable law, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by Jet.AI or a subsidiary or otherwise will not be counted against shares available for issuance pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.

 

 

Adjustments

 

In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin off) or other similar change in the corporate structure or shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, the Committee will make the appropriate adjustment or substitution. These adjustments or substitutions may be to the number and kind of securities and property that may be available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. In order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants, the Committee may also adjust the number, kind, and exercise price or grant price of securities or other property subject to outstanding awards.

 

Eligible Participants

 

Awards may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of Jet.AI or any of its subsidiaries. A “consultant” for purposes of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is one who renders services to Jet.AI or its subsidiaries that are not in connection with the offer and sale of its securities in a capital raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for its securities.

 

Types of Awards

 

The Omnibus Incentive Plan will permit Jet.AI to grant non-statutory and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance awards, non-employee director awards and other stock based awards. Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other type of award.

 

Stock Options. Stock options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI at a specified price, which is called the exercise price, subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option grant. The Omnibus Incentive Plan permits the grant of both non-statutory and incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted solely to eligible employees of Jet.AI or its subsidiaries. Each stock option granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan must be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the exercise price, the term, the number of shares underlying the stock option, the vesting and any other conditions. The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock of Jet.AI as of the date the award is granted to a participant. Fair market value under the Omnibus Incentive Plan means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the closing sale price of Common Stock of Jet.AI, as reported on Nasdaq, on the grant date. The Committee will fix the terms and conditions of each stock option, subject to certain restrictions, such as a ten-year maximum term.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR is a right granted to receive payment of cash, stock, or a combination of both equal to the difference between the fair market value of shares of our Common Stock and the grant price of such shares. Each SAR granted must be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the grant price, the term, and such other provisions as the board may determine. The grant price of a SAR must be at least 100% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The board fixes the term of each SAR, but SARs granted under the Incentive Plan will not be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the SAR is granted.

 

Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units. Restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and/or deferred stock units, or DSUs, may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. A restricted stock award is an award of Common Stock of Jet.AI that is subject to restrictions on transfer and risk of forfeiture upon certain events, typically including termination of service. RSUs are similar to restricted stock awards except that no shares are actually awarded to the participant on the grant date. DSUs permit the holder to receive shares of Common Stock or the equivalent value in cash or other property at a future time as determined by the board. The Committee will determine, and set forth in an award agreement, the period of restriction, the number of shares of restricted stock awards or the number of RSUs or DSUs granted, and other such conditions or restrictions.

 

 

Performance Awards. Performance awards, in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, other awards or a combination of both, may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine. The Committee shall determine, and set forth in an award agreement, the amount of cash and/or number of shares or other awards, the performance goals, the performance periods and other terms and conditions. The extent to which the participant achieves his or her performance goals during the applicable performance period will determine the amount of cash and/or number of shares or other awards earned by the participant. The Committee retains discretion to adjust performance awards either upward or downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines.

 

Non-Employee Director Awards; Limit on Non-Employee Director Compensation. The Committee at any time and from time-to-time may approve resolutions providing for the automatic or other grant to non-employee directors of awards. Such awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and may be granted pursuant to such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion consistent with the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Committee may permit non-employee directors to elect to receive all or any portion of their annual retainers, meeting fees or other fees in restricted stock, RSUs, DSUs or other stock-based awards in lieu of cash. Under the Omnibus Incentive Plan the sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of awards granted to a non-employee director as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $1,000,000.

 

Other Stock-Based Awards. Consistent with the terms of the plan, other stock-based awards may be granted to participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine.

 

Dividend Equivalents. With the exception of stock options, SARs, and unvested performance awards, awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may, in the Committee’s discretion, earn dividend equivalents with respect to the cash or stock dividends or other distributions that would have been paid on the shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI covered by such award had such shares been issued and outstanding on the dividend payment date. However, no dividends may be paid on awards until they are vested. Such dividend equivalents will be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as determined by the Committee.

 

Termination of Employment or Other Service

 

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for certain default rules in the event of a termination of a participant’s employment or other service. These default rules may be modified in an award agreement or an individual agreement between Jet.AI and a participant. If a participant’s employment or other service with Jet.AI is terminated for cause, then all outstanding awards held by such participant will be terminated and forfeited. In the event a participant’s employment or other service with Jet.AI is terminated by reason of death, disability or retirement, then:

 

	●	All outstanding stock options (excluding non-employee director options in the case of retirement) and SARs held by the participant will, to the extent exercisable, remain exercisable for a period of one year after such termination, but not later than the date the stock options or SARs expire;
	●	All outstanding stock options and SARs that are not exercisable and all outstanding restricted stock will be terminated and forfeited; and
	●	All outstanding unvested RSUs, performance awards and other stock-based awards held by the participant will terminate and be forfeited. However, with respect to any awards that vest based on the achievement of performance goals, if a participant’s employment or other service with Jet.AI or any subsidiary is terminated prior to the end of the performance period of such award, but after the conclusion of a portion of the performance period (but in no event less than one year), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause shares to be delivered or payment made with respect to the participant’s award, but only if otherwise earned for the entire performance period and only with respect to the portion of the applicable performance period completed at the date of such event, with proration based on the number of months or years that the participant was employed or performed services during the performance period.

 

 

In the event a participant’s employment or other service with Jet.AI is terminated by reason other than for cause, death, disability or retirement, then:

 

	●	All outstanding stock options (including non-employee director options) and SARs held by the participant that then are exercisable will remain exercisable for three months after the date of such termination, but will not be exercisable later than the date the stock options or SARs expire;
	●	All outstanding restricted stock will be terminated and forfeited; and
	●	All outstanding unvested RSUs, performance awards and other stock-based awards will be terminated and forfeited. However, with respect to any awards that vest based on the achievement of performance goals, if a participant’s employment or other service with Jet.AI or any subsidiary is terminated prior to the end of the performance period of such award, but after the conclusion of a portion of the performance period (but in no event less than one year), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause shares to be delivered or payment made with respect to the participant’s award, but only if otherwise earned for the entire performance period and only with respect to the portion of the applicable performance period completed at the date of such event, with proration based on the number of months or years that the participant was employed or performed services during the performance period.

 

Modification of Rights upon Termination

 

Upon a participant’s termination of employment or other service with Jet.AI or any subsidiary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion (which may be exercised at any time on or after the grant date, including following such termination) cause stock options or SARs (or any part thereof) held by such participant as of the effective date of such termination to terminate, become or continue to become exercisable or remain exercisable following such termination of employment or service, and restricted stock, RSUs, DSUs, performance awards, non-employee director awards and other stock-based awards held by such participant as of the effective date of such termination to terminate, vest or become free of restrictions and conditions to payment, as the case may be, following such termination of employment or service, in each case in the manner determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no stock option or SAR may remain exercisable beyond its expiration date any such action by the Committee adversely affecting any outstanding award will not be effective without the consent of the affected participant, except to the extent the Committee is authorized by the Omnibus Incentive Plan to take such action.

 

Forfeiture and Recoupment

 

If a participant is determined by the Committee to have taken any action while providing services to Jet.AI or within one year after termination of such services, that would constitute “cause” or an “adverse action,” as such terms are defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, all rights of the participant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and any agreements evidencing an award then held by the participant will terminate and be forfeited. The Committee has the authority to rescind the exercise, vesting, issuance or payment in respect of any awards of the participant that were exercised, vested, issued or paid, and require the participant to pay to Jet.AI, within 10 days of receipt of notice, any amount received or the amount gained as a result of any such rescinded exercise, vesting, issuance or payment. Jet.AI may defer the exercise of any stock option or SAR for up to six months after receipt of notice of exercise in order for the Board to determine whether “cause” or “adverse action” exists. Jet.AI is entitled to withhold and deduct future wages or make other arrangements to collect any amount due.

 

In addition, if Jet.AI is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then any participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will reimburse Jet.AI for the amount of any award received by such individual under the Omnibus Incentive Plan during the 12 month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. Jet.AI also may seek to recover any award made as required by the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other clawback, forfeiture or recoupment provision required by applicable law or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which Common Stock of Jet.AI is then listed or traded or any policy adopted by Jet.AI.

 

Effect of Change in Control

 

Generally, a change in control will mean:

 

●

The acquisition, other than from Jet.AI, by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI;

 

 

	●	The consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of Jet.AI with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals or entities who were the beneficial owners of Common Stock of Jet.AI immediately prior to the transaction do not, following the transaction, beneficially own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and voting securities of the corporation resulting from the transaction; or
	●	A complete liquidation or dissolution of Jet.AI or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Jet.AI.

 

Subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement or an individual agreement between Jet.AI and a participant, upon a change in control, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine whether some or all outstanding options and SARs shall become exercisable in full or in part, whether the restriction period and performance period applicable to some or all outstanding restricted stock awards and RSUs shall lapse in full or in part and whether the performance measures applicable to some or all outstanding awards shall be deemed to be satisfied. The Committee may further require that shares of stock of the corporation resulting from such a change in control, or a parent corporation thereof, be substituted for some or all of the shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI subject to an outstanding award and that any outstanding awards, in whole or in part, be surrendered to Jet.AI by the holder, to be immediately cancelled by Jet.AI, in exchange for a cash payment, shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from or succeeding Jet.AI or a combination of both cash and such shares of stock.

 

Governing Law; Mandatory Jurisdiction

 

Except to the extent as provided in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and any rules, regulations and actions relating to the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdictions. Unless otherwise expressly provided in an applicable award agreement, Jet.AI and recipients of an award under the Incentive Plan irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Federal or State courts of the State of Delaware relative to any and all disputes, issues and/or claims that may arise out of or relate to the Omnibus Incentive Plan or any related award agreement, with such jurisdiction and venue selected by and at the sole discretion of Jet.AI.

 

Term, Termination and Amendment

 

Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Omnibus Incentive Plan will terminate at midnight on the day before the ten year anniversary of its effective date. No award will be granted after termination of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, but awards outstanding upon termination of the Omnibus Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Board has the authority to suspend or terminate the Omnibus Incentive Plan or terminate any outstanding award agreement and the Board has the authority to amend the Omnibus Incentive Plan or amend or modify the terms of any outstanding award at any time and from time to time. No amendments to the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be effective without approval of Jet.AI’s stockholders if: (a) stockholder approval of the amendment is then required pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, the rules of the primary stock exchange on which Common Stock of Jet.AI is then traded, applicable U.S. state and federal laws or regulations and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where awards are, or will be, granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan; or (b) such amendment would: (i) modify the re-pricing provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan; (ii) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI issued or issuable under the Omnibus Incentive Plan; or (iii) reduce the minimum exercise price or grant price as set forth in the Omnibus Incentive Plan. No termination, suspension or amendment of the Omnibus Incentive Plan or an award agreement shall adversely affect any award previously granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan without the written consent of the participant holding such award.

 

 

Jet Token Prior Option Plans

 

General. On June 4, 2018, Jet Token’s Board of Directors adopted the Jet Token Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provided for the grant of equity awards to employees, and consultants, to purchase shares of Jet Token’s common stock. As of December 31, 2020, up to 25,000,000 shares of its common stock could be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the 2018 Plan was amended three times to increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan was 75,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 25,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock. The 2018 Plan is administered by Jet Token’s Board of Directors.

 

In August 2021, Jet Token’s Board of Directors adopted the Jet Token Inc. 2021 Stock Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 plan provided for the grant of equity awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants, including the direct award or sale of shares, stock options, and restricted stock units to purchase shares. As of December 31, 2021, up to 5,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the 2021 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of non-voting common stock authorized under the 2021 Plan to 15,000,000. In the event that shares of non-voting common stock subject to outstanding options or other securities under the Jet Token’s 2018 Stock Open and Grant Plan expire or become exercisable in accordance with their terms, such shares shall be automatically transferred to the 2021 Plan and added to the number of shares then available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

 

Plan Administration. The Jet Token Board administered the Jet Token Option Plan. The compensation committee of the Board will administer the Jet Token Option Plan following the Closing Date.

 

Types of Awards. The Jet Token Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive Jet Token Options, non-statutory Jet Token Options, Jet Token Restricted Stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights.

 

Stock Options. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant incentive or non-statutory Jet Token Options under the Jet Token Option Plan, provided that incentive Jet Token Options may only be granted to employees. The exercise price per share applicable to such Jet Token Options must generally be equal to at least the fair market value per share of Jet Token Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to the provisions of the Jet Token Option Plan, the Jet Token Board has the discretion to determine the remaining terms of the Jet Token Options (e.g., vesting). After the termination of a participant’s service, the participant may only exercise his or her Jet Token Option, to the extent vested, for a specified period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the Jet Token Option will remain exercisable for 18 months and 12 months following the termination of service, respectively. In all other cases except for a termination for cause, the Jet Token Option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. In the event of a termination for cause, the Jet Token Option will immediately terminate. However, in no event may a Jet Token Option be exercised later than the expiration of its maximum term.

 

Restricted Stock. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant Jet Token Restricted Stock under the Jet Token Option Plan. Jet Token Restricted Stock are generally shares of Jet Token Common Stock that are issued or sold to a participant pursuant to the Jet Token Option Plan and subject to repurchase by Jet Token under certain circumstances and that are fully vested at grant or that will vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Jet Token Board, in its sole discretion. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to determine the number of shares that the participant may receive or purchase, the price to be paid (if any), and the time by which the participant must accept the shares/offer.

 

Restricted Stock Units. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant restricted stock units under the Jet Token Option Plan. Each restricted stock unit is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Jet Token Common Stock. The Jet Token Board, in its discretion, determines whether restricted stock units should be granted, the total units granted and/or the vesting terms applicable to such units. Participants holding restricted stock units will hold no voting rights by virtue of such restricted stock units. The Jet Token Board may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of restricted stock units. Restricted stock units may be settled in cash, shares of Jet Token Common Stock, as applicable, or any combination thereof or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Jet Token Board, in its sole discretion.

 

 

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant stock appreciation rights under the Jet Token Option Plan and to determine the terms and conditions of each stock appreciation right, except that the exercise price for each stock appreciation right cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of Jet Token Common Stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, a participant will receive payment from Jet Token in an amount determined by multiplying the difference between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise over the exercise price by the number of shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised. Stock appreciation rights may be paid in cash, shares of Jet Token Common Stock, or any combination thereof, or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Jet Token Board in its discretion. Stock appreciation rights are exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the Jet Token Board, in its discretion.

 

Non-transferability of Awards. Unless the Jet Token Board provides otherwise, awards granted under the Jet Token Option Plan are generally not transferable.

 

Certain Adjustments. In the event of certain corporate events or changes in Jet Token’s capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the Jet Token Option Plan, the Jet Token Board will make adjustments to one or more of the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the Jet Token Option Plan and/or the number, kind, class and price of securities covered by each outstanding award.

 

Dissolution or liquidation. In the event of Jet Token’s dissolution or liquidation, each outstanding award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the Jet Token Board.

 

Change in Control. The Jet Token Option Plan provides that in the event of a change in control, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement or as determined by the Jet Token Board at the time of grant, outstanding awards will be assumed, canceled if not exercised/settled or cashed out in lieu of exercise as determined by the Jet Token Board.

 

Amendment or Termination. The Jet Token Board may amend or terminate the Jet Token Option Plan at any time, provided such action does not impair the rights or obligations of any participant without his or her consent. In addition, stockholder approval must be obtained to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with applicable laws.

 

Director Compensation

 

Neither Mr. Winston nor Mr. Murnane receives additional compensation for service on our Board. Historically, Mr. Winston was Jet Token’s sole director. Mr. Winston did not receive any additional compensation for his service as a director for 2022.

 

Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements

 

Following the Business Combination, the compensation committee recommended, and the Board approved, a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”). The Policy has been designed to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors by providing competitive compensation and aligning their interests with the interests of our stockholders through equity awards. This Policy provides for an annual cash retainer to each eligible non-employee director of $40,000. In addition, each of the following is entitled to an additional annual retainer in the following amounts:

 

	●	Lead Independent Director: $25,000
	●	Audit Committee Chair: $15,000
	●	Compensation Committee Chair: $10,000
	●	Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair: $6,250

 

Under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, the non-executive directors of the Company are also entitled to receive the equity compensation under the Amended and Restated Plan, subject to approval by stockholders at the 2024 annual meeting, At the close of business on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, each person who is then a non-employee director, will automatically receive a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award having a value of $35,000 and a restricted stock grant of $35,000. Each annual RSU and annual restricted stock grant will vest on the date of the following year’s annual meeting (or the date immediately preceding the date of the following year’s annual meeting if the non-employee director’s service as a director ends at such meeting as a result of the director’s failure to be re-elected or the director not standing for re-election. The vesting of each annual RSU and annual restricted stock grant is subject to the non-employee director’s continuous service on the applicable vesting date of each such awards.

 

 

For each non-employee director who remains in continuous service with the Company until immediately prior to the closing of a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), such non-employee director’s then-outstanding annual RSU and annual restricted stock grant will become fully vested immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control. The grants will be eligible for deferred settlement in accordance with such deferral program as may be established by the Company and approved by the Board.

 

The Company began paying cash compensation to non-employee directors following the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy. The table below describes the compensation earned by the non-employee directors during fiscal 2023.

 

Name		Fees Earned or Paid in Cash				Stock Awards(1)				All Other Compensation				Total
Ehud Talmor (2)		$	12,500			$	70,000			$	–			$	82,500
Wrendon Timothy (3)		$	20,000			$	70,000			$	–			$	90,000
William Yankus		$	10,000			$	70,000			$	–			$	80,000

Donald Jeffrey Woods(4)		$	11,563			$	70,000			$	–			$	81,563

 

(1)	Amounts in the table reflect equity grants recommended by the compensation committee and approved by the Board towards the end of 2023 and as contemplated by the Policy to each of the directors. These grants, which have not been made and are subject to stockholder approval of the Proposed Amended and Restated Plan, equal 21,875 RSUs to each such director, representing the then value of $35,000, and a grant of 21,875 restricted stock to each such director, representing the then value of $35,000. Each of these grants will be made, and will fully vest, on the date of the Company’s 2024 annual meeting, assuming stockholders approve the Proposed Amended and Restated Plan. If either Mr. David or Mr. Woods is not elected as a Class I director at the 2024 annual meeting, these equity grants will be deemed made, and will vest, on the date immediately preceding the 2024 annual meeting. There are no other awards outstanding or anticipated to be granted to directors in 2023 or 2024.
(2)	Mr. Talmor is chairperson of the compensation committee.
(3)	Mr. Timothy is the lead independent director and chairperson of the audit committee.
(4)	Mr. Woods is chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

 

Under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, the Company will also reimburse each non-employee director for any ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by such director in connection with in-person attendance at and participation in Board and committee meetings; provided, that such director timely submits to us appropriate documentation substantiating such expenses in accordance with our travel and expense policy as in effect from time to time.

Related Party Transactions in Connection with and Subsequent to the Business Combination

 

Maxim Payment and Settlement Agreement

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Maxim Settlement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter for the Company’s initial public offering (“Maxim”). Pursuant to the Maxim Settlement Agreement, the Company issued to Maxim Partners in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, (a) 270,000 shares of common stock to Maxim Partners to settle the payment obligations of the Company under the underwriting agreement dated on or about August 11, 2021, by and between the Company and Maxim and (b) 1,127 Series A Preferred Shares to Maxim Partners in an amount equal in value to $1,127,000. The Series A Preferred Shares accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum (which increases to 18% if the Company fails to meet certain obligations under the terms thereof), payable quarterly and, at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into 112,700 shares of common stock. The Company also issued 115,000 shares of common stock to Maxim Partners on August 16, 2021, in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, to meet a payment obligation under the underwriting agreement in connection with Oxbridge’s IPO, representing a value of $9.00 per share reflecting an allocation of the $10.00 per Unit IPO price. The above issued and issuable shares of common stock shares are subject to a registration rights agreement.

 

The Company may, subject to certain conditions, redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares in cash at the $1,000 original issue price, subject to adjustment, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company is required to redeem all the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares on August 10, 2024, which will be automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the net proceeds will be used to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares if requested by the holder.

 

Sponsor Settlement Agreement

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into settlement agreement (“Sponsor Settlement Agreement”) with OAC Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor of Oxbridge. Pursuant to the Sponsor Settlement Agreement, the Company issued, in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, 575 Series A-1 Preferred Shares to settle the payment obligations of the Company under a promissory note in the principal amount of $575,000 dated November 14, 2022 in favor of Sponsor. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares accrue interest at the rate of 5% per annum (which increases to 18% if the Company fails to meet certain obligations under the terms thereof), payable quarterly in cash. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares are convertible into 57,500 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares are subject to a registration rights agreement between the Company and Sponsor.

 

 

The Company may, subject to certain conditions, redeem the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares in cash at the $1,000 original issue price, subject to adjustment, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company is required to redeem all the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares on August 10, 2024, automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the net proceeds will be used to redeem the Series A-1 Preferred Shares if requested by the holder.

 

Bridge Agreement

 

On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (“Bridge Agreement”) with eight investors to provide the Company $500,000 of short-term bridge financing pending its receipt of funds from its other existing financing arrangements. During the month of September, the Company engaged in discussions with numerous third parties to secure short-term bridge funding but was not offered terms it found acceptable. Rather, certain related parties of the Company and other parties agreed to provide the Company with this financing on substantially better material terms than it had received from unaffiliated third parties.

 

The Bridge Agreement was entered into with, and funding was provided by, Michael Winston, the Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Wrendon Timothy, a member of the Board and all three Committees of the Board, William Yankus, a member of the Board and two of its Committees, and Oxbridge RE Holdings Limited, a significant stockholder of the Company for which Mr. Timothy serves as a director and officer, as well as the four other investors named in the Bridge Agreement.

 

Given Mr. Winston’s dual role as a participant in the negotiations with third parties and his participation in the bridge financing itself, for avoidance of doubt, he waived any right to receive accrued interest on the principal amount of his Note, as well as any redemption premium or any increase in the principal amount of his Note in connection with an event of default (the “Waiver”). The Company’s Audit Committee pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, and the full Board, including a majority of disinterested directors, unanimously approved the Agreement, in each case finding that the Agreement was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Bridge Agreement provided for the issuance of Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $625,000, reflecting a 20% original issue discount. The Notes bore interest at 5% per annum and matured on March 11, 2024. The Company was required to redeem the Notes with 100% of the proceeds of any equity or debt financing at a redemption premium of 110% of the principal amount of the Notes. In March, the Company fully repaid the Bridge Agreement in the amount of approximately $683,000, representing principal, redemption premium and interest.

 

Maxim Advisory Agreement

 

On January 5, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which it retained Maxim as a financial advisor and investment banker to provide general financial advisory and investment banking services. In connection with this Agreement, Maxim may provide certain or all of the following services:

 

●

assist management of the Company and advise the Company with respect to its strategic planning process and business plans including an analysis of markets, positioning, financial models, organizational structure, potential strategic alliances, capital requirements and NASDAQ listing requirements;

●

advise the Company on matters relating to its capitalization;

●

assist management of the Company with the preparation of the Company’s marketing materials and investor presentations;

●

assist the Company in broadening its stockholder base including non-deal road show activity;

 

●

assist the Company with strategic introductions;

●

work closely with the Company’s management team to develop a set of long and short-term goals with special focus on enhancing corporate and stockholder value. This will include assisting the Company in determining key business actions, including assistance with strategic partnership discussions and review of financing requirements, intended to help enhance stockholder value and exposure to the investment community;

●

advise the Company on potential financing alternatives, including facilitation and negotiation of any financial or structural aspects of such alternatives; and

●

provide such other financial advisory and investment banking services upon which the parties may mutually agree.

 

As consideration for Maxim’s services pursuant to this Agreement, the Company paid Maxima fees in cash totaling $75,000. In addition, the Company shall promptly upon request from time to time reimburse Maxim for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel and all travel and other out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by Maxim in connection with its engagement. Such expenses will not exceed $2,500 without prior authorization of the Company.

 

The Company has also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Maxim, and each of its present and former affiliated entities, managers, members, officers, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and the officers, directors, partners, stockholders, members, managers, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons of any of them, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements, and any and all actions, suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any and all legal and other costs, expenses and disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including, without limitation, the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing, pursing or defending any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation), directly or indirectly caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of, or in connection with, Maxim’s acting for the Company, including, without limitation, any act or omission by Maxim in connection with its acceptance of or the performance or non-performance of its obligations under the Agreement, any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in any instrument, document or agreement relating thereto, including any agency agreement, or the enforcement by Maxim of its rights under the Agreement, except to the extent that any such losses are found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person seeking indemnification under the Agreement. The Company also agreed that no indemnified person will have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with the engagement of Maxim by the Company or for any other reason, except to the extent that any such liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from such indemnified person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Either Maxim or the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party after the six (6) month anniversary of this Agreement (the effective date of such termination, the “Termination Date”). The Agreement may be earlier terminated by the Company only for Cause (as defined below). Furthermore, in the event, in the course of due diligence performed by Maxim, Maxim deems it necessary to terminate the engagement, Maxim may do so at any time upon immediate written notice. “Cause” means gross negligence, willful misconduct or an uncured material breach of this Agreement by Maxim of which the Company has provided Maxim with reasonable notice and opportunity to cure. Certain provisions in the agreement, primarily compensation, expenses reimbursement and indemnification survive termination of the agreement.

 

Maxim Placement Agency Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on March 28, 2024 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Ionic Ventures, LLC (“Ionic”) for a private placement, which closed on March 29, 2024. In connection with the transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company must pay Maxim a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised under the Securities Purchase Agreement and reimburse Maxim, directly upon the initial closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement for all travel and other documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Maxim, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $15,000. The Company paid Maxim a total of $120,000 out of the gross proceeds it received on March 29, 2024. If the Company issues additional securities to Ionic as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company would be obligated to pay Maxim cash fees of up to $1,050,000.

 

 

The Company also granted Maxim a right of first refusal to act as sole agent or sole managing underwriter and sole book runner for any and all future public and private equity and public debt offerings of the Company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of the Company for a period until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024 and (ii) redemption and/or conversion in full of all Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company beneficially owned by Maxim. The Company also agreed to indemnify Maxim and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement.

 

Oxbridge Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On April 12, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain expenses on behalf of Oxbridge in exchange for issuance of 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of Oxbridge’s Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions.

 

The holders of Oxbridge’s Founder Shares, which includes Oxbridge’s Sponsor have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of the Business Combination on which Oxbridge completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Oxbridge consummated the Private Placement of 5,760,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Maxim Partners at an average purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to Oxbridge of $5,760,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except that the Sponsor and Maxim Partners have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of Oxbridge’s initial Business Combination. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by Oxbridge and are exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor and Maxim Partners or their respective permitted transferees, whereas the public warrants are redeemable and may only be exercised on a cashless basis if Oxbridge calls the public warrants for redemption and elects to require holders to exercise their public warrants on a cashless basis.

 

Certain proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

 

 

Extension Amendment Proposal and Promissory Note

 

On November 9, 2022, Oxbridge held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. At the extraordinary general meeting, Oxbridge’s shareholders were presented the proposals to extend the date by which Oxbridge must consummate a business combination (the “Termination Date”) from November 16, 2022 to August 16, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors) by amending Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). The Extension Amendment Proposal to amend Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (“Charter Amendment”) was approved. Oxbridge filed the Charter Amendment with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies on November 11, 2022.

 

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 10,313,048 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.22 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $105,424,960 in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal.

 

The Sponsor agreed to contribute to us a loan of $575,000 (the “Extension Loan”), to be deposited into the trust account to extend the Termination Date from November 16, 2022 to August 16, 2023. On November 14, 2022, Oxbridge issued a promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000 to the Sponsor, in connection with the Extension Loan. The Extension Loan was deposited into the Trust Account on November 15, 2022.

 

The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of an initial business combination, or (b) the date of the liquidation of Oxbridge.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

Commencing on the effective date of the Company’s IPO, Oxbridge agreed to pay its Sponsor a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Business Combination, Oxbridge ceased paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Oxbridge paid $100,000 to the Sponsor under the Administrative Services Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company accrued $125,557 payable to the Sponsor under the Administrative Services Agreement.

 

Jet Token’s Related Party Transactions

 

From time to time, related parties made payments on Jet Token’s behalf or advance cash to Jet Token for operating costs which require repayment. Such transactions are considered short-term advances and non-interest bearing. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Michael Winston, Jet Token’s Founder and Executive Chairman, advanced a total of $0 and $72,000, respectively, to Jet Token in the form of a non-interest-bearing loan and Jet Token repaid $0 and $242,196 of these advances, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 such advances had been fully repaid.

 

Related Party Transaction Policy

 

Our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee will establish and periodically review policies and procedures for the review, approval and ratification of related person transactions (as defined in applicable SEC rules and regulations), review related person transactions, and oversee other related party transactions governed by applicable accounting standards.

 

On April 17, 2024, our audit committee and board approved the Jet.AI Related Party Transaction Policy, which establishes a framework for identifying, reviewing, and approving “Related Party Transactions”, defined as a transaction, arrangement, or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships in which the Company and any Related Party have a direct or indirect interest, including but not limited to sales or purchases of goods or services, loans or guarantees, leasing arrangements, compensation arrangements and joint ventures or investments.

 

A “Related Party” under the policy includes:

 

	●	Any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year was, a
	●	director, executive officer or employee of the Company (or its subsidiaries);
	●	Any stockholder owning 5% or more of the Company’s voting securities;
	●	Any person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with the
	●	Company;

 

 

	●	Any entity in which a director or executive officer has a significant influence;
	●	Any other party with whom the Company has a close business relationship that could create
	●	a conflict of interest;
	●	Any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, including spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, and anyone (other than domestic employees) who shares such person’s home.

 

The policy is administered by the Audit Committee. It provides for notification to the Corporate Secretary of the initiation or negotiation of any potential transaction involving a Related Party followed by an assessment by the Chairman and/or the Chief Financial Officer of materiality and potential for conflicts of interest and whether or not the transaction requires review by the audit committee under the policy. The audit committee is then responsible for reviewing and considering whether the transaction is conducted on arm’s-length terms and in accordance with fair market value; whether the transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; and any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from the transaction. The audit committee must approve the transaction prior to its initiation unless not practicable, in which case the audit committee may retrospectively review and ratify the transaction. The audit committee is also responsible for reviewing ongoing Related Party Transactions annually.

 

Prior to the adoption of this policy, it has generally been the Company’s practice to obtain pre-approval from the audit committee for any related party transactions occurring subsequent to the Business Combination that our Interim Chief Executive Officer believes are significant. The transactions described under “– Related Party Transactions in Connection with and Subsequent to the Business Combination – Maxim Payment and Settlement Agreement” and “– Related Party Transactions in Connection with and Subsequent to the Business Combination – Sponsor Settlement Agreement” above were approved by the Oxbridge audit committee prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The transactions described under “ – Related Party Transactions in Connection with and Subsequent to the Business Combination – Bridge Agreement” above were pre-approved by our audit committee. The engagement described under “ – Related Party Transactions in Connection with and Subsequent to the Business Combination – Maxim Advisory Agreement” was not approved by either the Board or the audit committee. The Placement Agreement described under “ – Related Party Transactions in Connection with and Subsequent to the Business Combination – Maxim Placement Agreement” above was pre-approved by unanimous consent by the Board. Prior to the Business Combination, the audit committee of Oxbridge was responsible for approving transactions with the Sponsor, any officer, any director or their respective affiliates and for reviewing any payments made to such persons on a quarterly basis. The transactions described under “– Related Party Transactions prior to the Business Combination – Oxbridge Related Party Transactions” above were approved by the Oxbridge board of directors in connection with Oxbridge’s IPO or, subsequent to the IPO, were approved by the Oxbridge audit committee.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock as of May 10, 2024, by:

 

	●	each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination;
	●	each of the Company’s executive officers and directors; and
	●	all of the Company’s executive officers and directors as a group upon the Closing.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and restricted stock units that are currently exercisable or vested or that will become exercisable or vest within 60 days. This table is based upon information supplied by officers, directors and principal stockholders and Schedules 13G or 13D filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, the Company believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them. The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 12,305,144 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 10, 2024 and other than as noted below.

The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities, unless they are contractually bound not to:

 

	●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
	●	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
	●	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
	●	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
	●	privately negotiated transactions;
	●	settlement of short sales;
	●	in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
	●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
	●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or
	●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Compliance with the Exchange Act, including Regulation M

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder or any other person.

Voting Rights

 

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, except as otherwise expressly provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by law, the holders of Common Stock shall at all times vote together as a single class on all matters; provided however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of shares of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, each holder of Common Stock shall have the right to one vote per share of Common Stock held of record by such holder.

 

Dividend Rights

 

Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, shares of Common Stock will be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends or distributions as may be declared and paid from time to time by the Board out of any assets of Jet.AI legally available therefor.

 

Rights Upon Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

 

Subject to any preferential or other rights of any holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Jet.AI, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of Jet.AI available for distribution to its stockholders.

 

Other Rights

 

The holders of Common Stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock that Jet.AI may issue in the future.

 

 

Preferred Stock

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing the rights, preferences, privileges and other terms relating to the Series A Preferred Shares. The Series A Preferred Shares are a new class of equity security that ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding, unless all dividends for all preceding full fiscal quarters have been declared and all accumulated dividends have been paid with respect to the Preferred Shares, no dividend or distribution will be declared or paid on, and no redemption or repurchase will be agreed to or consummated of, stock on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares, Common Stock or any other shares of stock junior to the Series A Preferred Shares.

 

Each Series A Preferred Share has a stated value of $1,000, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series A Original Purchase Price”), and the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Holders”) will be entitled to cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 8% of the Liquidation Preference, payable quarterly commencing on September 1, 2023. Dividends may be paid in cash or, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock (“PIK Shares”). If dividends are paid in PIK Shares, the PIK Shares will be valued at the closing price of such securities on the trading day prior to the date the dividend is declared by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company, to the extent the payment of dividends is permitted under Delaware law, for the foreseeable future, to pay dividends in PIK Shares.

 

The Series A Holders have the right to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis unless required by applicable law. The Series A Holders will be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of votes such Series A Holder would have had if all Series A Preferred Shares held by such Series A Holder had been converted into shares of Common Stock. So long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the Series A Holders of at least 90% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, voting together as a separate class, will be necessary to: (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Series A Certificate of Designation if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Shares so as to affect them adversely; (ii) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue any series of Series A Dividend Senior Stock, or reclassify any class or series of capital stock into any series of Series A Dividend Senior Stock; (iii) purchase or redeem, or permit any subsidiary of the Company to purchase or redeem, any shares of any Series A Dividend Junior Stock, Series A Liquidation Junior Stock, Series A Qualifying Merger Junior Stock or Series A Qualifying Sale Junior Stock, other than repurchases of shares of such capital stock from former directors, officers, employees, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in connection with the cessation of employment or service and for a purchase price per share of such capital stock not exceeding the original purchase price thereof; (iv) incur, or permit the Company’s subsidiaries to incur, or issue, or permit the Company’s subsidiaries to issue, any indebtedness for borrowed money (except payables and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business), including obligations (whether or not contingent), under guaranties, or loans or debt securities, including equity-linked or convertible debt securities that, in total, results in gross proceeds to the Company of $20.0 million or greater; (v) declare or pay any cash dividend on any Series A Dividend Junior Stock; or (vi) enter into, or permit the Company’s subsidiaries to enter into, any agreement, arrangement or understanding providing for any of the foregoing actions.

 

The Series A Holders may convert their Series A Preferred Shares at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the Series A Original Purchase Price divided by a conversion price, which is initially set at $10.00 and is subject to certain adjustments including customary anti-dilution adjustments (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, in no event shall outstanding Series A Preferred Shares be converted into more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company may, subject to certain conditions, cause the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed in cash at the “Series A Redemption Price” which is the Series A Original Purchase Price, subject to certain adjustments, plus the aggregate amount of dividends then accrued and unpaid on such Series A Preferred Shares. The Company must redeem all the Series A Preferred Shares that remain outstanding as of the one-year anniversary of the original issue date; provided that the outside date for redemption shall be automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the proceeds net of expenses must be used to pay the redemption price on the Series A Preferred Shares.

 

 

Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing the rights, preferences, privileges and other terms relating to the Series A-1 Preferred Shares. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares is a new class of equity security that ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation but junior to the Series A Preferred Shares. Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any Series A-1 Preferred Shares remain outstanding, unless all dividends for all preceding full fiscal quarters have been declared and all accumulated dividends have been paid with respect to the Preferred Shares, no dividend or distribution will be declared or paid on, and no redemption or repurchase will be agreed to or consummated of, stock on a parity with the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, Common Stock or any other shares of stock junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Shares.

 

Each Series A-1 Preferred Share has a stated value of $1,000, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series A-1 Original Purchase Price”), and commencing on the six month anniversary of the original issuance date the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares (the “Series A Holders”) will be entitled to cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 5% of the Liquidation Preference, payable quarterly commencing on and including April 1, 2024 (but, with respect to any Series A-1 Preferred Shares outstanding on or after the six month anniversary date of their original issuance date, dividends will be deemed to have accrued as of August 10, 2023).

 

The Series A-1 Holders have the right to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis unless required by applicable law. The Series A-1 Holders will be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of votes such Series A-1 Holder would have had if all Series A-1 Preferred Shares held by such Series A-1 Holder had been converted into shares of Common Stock. So long as any Series A-1 Preferred Shares are outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the Series A-1 Holders of at least 90% of the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares, voting together as a separate class, will be necessary to: (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares so as to affect them adversely; (ii) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue any series of Series A-1 Dividend Senior Stock, or reclassify any class or series of capital stock into any series of Series A-1 Dividend Senior Stock; (iii) purchase or redeem, or permit any subsidiary of the Company to purchase or redeem, any shares of any Series A-1 Dividend Junior Stock, Series A-1 Liquidation Junior Stock, Series A-1 Qualifying Merger Junior Stock or Series A-1 Qualifying Sale Junior Stock, other than repurchases of shares of such capital stock from former directors, officers, employees, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in connection with the cessation of employment or service and for a purchase price per share of such capital stock not exceeding the original purchase price thereof; (iv) incur, or permit the Company’s subsidiaries to incur, or issue, or permit the Company’s subsidiaries to issue, any indebtedness for borrowed money (except payables and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business), including obligations (whether or not contingent), under guaranties, or loans or debt securities, including equity-linked or convertible debt securities that, in total, results in gross proceeds to the Company of $20.0 million or greater; (v) declare or pay any cash dividend on any Series A-1 Dividend Junior Stock; or (vi) enter into, or permit the Company’s subsidiaries to enter into, any agreement, arrangement or understanding providing for any of the foregoing actions.

 

The Series A-1 Holders may convert their Series A-1 Preferred Shares at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the Series A-1 Original Purchase Price divided by a conversion price, which is initially set at $10.00 and is subject to certain adjustments including customary anti-dilution adjustments (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, in no event shall outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares be converted into more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company may, subject to certain conditions, cause the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares to be redeemed in cash at the “Series A-1 Redemption Price” which is the Series A-1 Original Purchase Price, subject to certain adjustments, plus the aggregate amount of dividends then accrued and unpaid on such Series A-1 Preferred Shares. The Company must redeem all Series A-1 Preferred Shares that remain outstanding as of the one-year anniversary of the original issue date; provided that the outside date for redemption shall be automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the proceeds net of expenses must be used to pay the redemption price on the Series A Preferred Shares and an additional 15% of the proceeds net of expenses must be used to pay the redemption price on the Series A-1 Preferred Shares.

 

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

On March 28, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing the rights, preferences, privileges and other terms relating to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks pari passu with the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and senior to all other capital stock of the Company.

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock converts into a number of shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, including a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (calculated in accordance with the rules promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), which can be adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice by the Investor. Prior to the approval by our stockholders of the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (the “Conversion Approval”), we may not convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued exceeds 19.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph and provided there is an effective registration statement covering the Investor’s resale of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on or prior to the tenth trading day after the issuance date of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing the conversion amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock by the then conversion price. The conversion amount is equal to the stated value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which is $10,000, plus any additional amounts and late charges calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. The conversion price is equal to 90% (or, in the case of a delisting, 80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock over a period beginning on the trading day after we deliver shares of Common Stock upon such conversion to the Investor and ending on the trading day on which the aggregate dollar trading volume of our Common Stock exceeds seven times the applicable conversion amount, subject to a five trading day minimum period for such calculation, and subject to certain adjustments.

 

If certain defined “triggering events” defined in the Certificate of Designations occur, such as a breach of the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement, suspension of trading, or our failure to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock when a conversion right is exercised, then we may be required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash at 110% of the stated value.

 

Warrants

 

Ionic Warrant

 

The Ionic Warrant entitles Ionic to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, provided any such exercise shall be for a minimum of fifty (50) shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Ionic Warrant exercise price is initially set at $10,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment for certain events, such as stock split, issuance of additional shares as a dividend or otherwise. The Ionic Warrant has a term of two years. At any time when the Ionic Warrant is exercisable for less than 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of this Warrant by paying to the Holder an amount in cash equal to $100 per share of Series B Preferred that would otherwise be issuable pursuant to the Ionic Warrant. See “Prospectus Summary– The Ionic Transaction” for a description of the Ionic Warrant.

Las Vegas, Nevada:

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jet.AI Inc. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2023 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes and the consolidated financial statement schedules (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, were audited by another auditor whose report dated February 23, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Oxbridge”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 12, 2021. Oxbridge was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock or share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Jet Token Inc. was formed on June 4, 2018 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

On August 10, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Oxbridge consummated the business combination transaction (“Business Combination”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with OXAC Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“First Merger Sub”), Summerlin Aviation LLC (f/k/a OXAC Merger Sub II, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“Second Merger Sub”), and Jet Token, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jet Token”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between Oxbridge and Jet Token was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub and Jet Token, with Jet Token emerging as the surviving company, followed by a merger between Jet Token and Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub emerging as the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge. In connection with the finalization of the Business Combination on August 10, 2023, Oxbridge filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which the Company was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and immediately changed its name to Jet.AI, Inc. (“Jet.AI” or the “Company”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company has one class of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “JTAI”. The Company’s warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “JTAIW” and “JTAIZ”, respectively.

 

Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Second Merger Sub and its subsidiaries, and the stockholders of Jet Token as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Jet Token Stockholders”) hold a portion of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Jet.AI Common Stock”).

 

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share of Oxbridge was converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Jet.AI Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share of Oxbridge was converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Jet.AI Common Stock; (c) each then issued and outstanding Oxbridge Warrant was converted automatically into a warrant to purchase one share of Jet.AI Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement (“Jet.AI Warrant”); and (d) each then issued and outstanding Oxbridge Unit was converted automatically into a Jet.AI Unit, each consisting of one share of Jet.AI Common Stock and one Jet.AI Warrant.

 

At the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), (i) each outstanding share of Jet Token Common Stock, including each share of Jet Token Preferred Stock that was converted into shares of Jet Token Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive (x) the number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio of 0.03094529, and (y) the number of warrants (“Merger Consideration Warrants”) equal to the Warrant Exchange Ratio of 0.04924242; (ii) each Jet Token Option, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of Jet.AI Options based on the Option Exchange Ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and as further described in the Proxy Statement); (iii) each Jet Token Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into a warrant to acquire (x) a number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio and (y) a number of Merger Consideration Warrants equal to the Warrant Exchange Ratio; and (iv) each Jet Token RSU Award that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a Jet.AI RSU Award with respect to a number of RSUs based on the applicable exchange ratio as determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.

 

The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, is principally involved in (i) the sale of fractional and whole interests in aircraft, (ii) the sale of jet cards, which enable holders to use certain of the Company’s and other’s aircraft at agreed-upon rates, (iii) the operation of a proprietary booking platform (the “App”), which functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers as well as via the Company’s leased and managed aircraft, (iv) direct chartering of its HondaJet aircraft by Cirrus, (v) aircraft brokerage and (vi) service revenue from the monthly management and hourly operation of customer aircraft.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since Inception. These matters raise concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company began ramping up its revenue-generating activities during the second half of the year ended December 31, 2021 and continuing into 2022 and 2023. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funds from its operations, drawdowns under its GEM share purchase agreement, as well as proceeds from other financing arrangements. The Company also has the ability to reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however, that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein.

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby Oxbridge is treated as the acquired company and Jet Token is treated as the acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of Oxbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Oxbridge were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

Jet Token has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors:

 

	●	Jet Token’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity;
	●	Jet Token existing stockholders have the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity Board;
	●	Jet Token’s senior management is the senior management of the combined entity
	●	Jet Token is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base; and
	●	The post-combination company has assumed a Jet Token branded name: “Jet.AI Inc.”

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jet.AI Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summerlin Aviation LLC, Jet Token Software Inc., Jet Token Management Inc., Galilee LLC, and Galilee 1 SPV LLC and Cloudrise Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Jet Token. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company has a limited operating history and has only recently begun generating revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include but are not limited to: changes in the airline industry, fuel and operating costs, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, regulations on carbon emissions from aviation and market acceptance of the Company’s business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included within cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash of $500,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ (deficit) equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Other Current Assets

 

Other current assets include security deposits, which relate primarily to contractual prepayments to third-parties for future services, prepaid expenses and customer receivables for additional expenses incurred in their charter trips.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, property and equipment consisted entirely of equipment which is being depreciated over a three-year period.

 

Internal Use Software

 

The Company incurs software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet its internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver its services. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once a preliminary project stage is complete, funding has been committed, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has capitalized approximately $398,000 of internal software related costs, which is included in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The software officially launched on December 31, 2020. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $132,702, and is included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2023 was $398,101.

 

Investments in Joint Ventures

 

In January 2023, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture subsidiary with Great Western Air LLC dba Cirrus Aviation Services, 380 Software LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Costs and profits are to be shared equally. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method whereby the initial investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company’s share of income or loss from the joint venture. The Company has made investments in the joint venture totaling $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023. There is currently no financial activity or material assets to report for this joint venture beyond this initial investment.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in each lease was readily determinable to discount lease payments.

 

The operating lease right-of-use assets include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate, and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset when they are at the Company’s discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company follows ASC 360, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360 requires that if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value would be required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360 as being held for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

	●	Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
	●	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
	●	Determination of the transaction price;
	●	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
	●	Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Jet Token App and (iv) aircraft management.

 

Under the fractional ownership program, a customer purchases an ownership share in a jet which guarantees the customer access to the jet for a preset number of hours per year. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a Monthly Management Fee (MMF) and an Occupied Hourly Fee (OHF). Revenues from the sale of fractional or whole interests in an aircraft are recognized at the time title to the aircraft is transferred to the purchasers, which generally occurs upon delivery or ownership transfer.

 

The jet card program provides the customer with a preset number of hours of guaranteed private jet access over the agreement term (generally a year) without the larger hourly or capital commitment of purchasing an ownership share. The jet card program consists of a fixed hourly rate for flight hours typically paid 100% up front.

 

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the Company’s promised services, which generally occurs upon the flight hours being used. Any unused hours for the fractional jet and jet card programs are forfeited at the end of the contract term and are thus immediately recognized as revenue at that time.

 

Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, the Company initially recognizes a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future date. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company deferred $1,510,976 and $933,361, respectively, related to prepaid flight hours under the jet card program for which the related travel had not yet occurred.

 

The Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Company’s App, whereby the Company will source, negotiate, and arrange travel on a charter basis for a customer based on pre-selected options and pricing provided by the Company to the customer through the App. In addition, Cirrus markets charter on the Company’s aircraft for the Company’s benefit. Deferred revenue with respect to the App was $268,818 as of December 31, 2023.

 

The Company utilizes certificated independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of flights. The Company evaluates whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services the Company provides to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. The Company directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that the Company acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements. Owner charter revenue is recognized for flights where the owner of a managed aircraft sets the price for the trip. The Company records owner charter revenue at the time of flight on a net basis for the margin we receive to operate the aircraft. If the Company has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.

Total revenues		$	12,214,556			$	21,862,728

 

Flights

 

Flights and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in which the service is provided. For round-trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment.

 

Fractional and jet card members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights based on a contractual capped hourly rate. Ad hoc charter customers primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs are paid by members through the purchase of dollar-denominated prepaid blocks of flight hours (“Prepaid Blocks”), and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation are billed monthly as incurred. Prepaid Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment.

 

Aircraft Management

 

The Company manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner-incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking and other related operating costs. The Company passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.

 

Aircraft management-related revenue contains two types of performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed.

 

Aircraft Sales

 

The Company acquires aircraft from vendors and various other third-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The Company’s classifies the purchase as aircraft inventory on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Sales are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded aircraft sales of $0 and $17,200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Pass-Through Costs

 

In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are distinct performance obligations. The Company then assesses whether it is acting as an agent or a principal for each identified performance obligation and includes revenue within the transaction price for third-party costs when the Company determines that it is acting as the principal.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The cost of sales expenses includes costs incurred in providing air transportation services, such as chartering third-party aircraft, aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses.

 

	1.	Chartering Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering third-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. These expenses include the fees paid to third-party operators for providing aircraft services on behalf of the company. Expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period when the service is rendered and are reported on an accrual basis.
	2.	Aircraft Lease Expenses: Aircraft lease expenses include the cost of leasing aircraft for the company’s operations. The lease expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
	3.	Pilot Training and Wages: Pilot training costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of sales expenses. This encompasses expenses related to initial pilot training, recurrent training, and any additional required training programs. Pilot wages, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits, are also recognized as a part of the cost of sales expenses and are reported on an accrual basis.
	4.	Aircraft Fuel: The cost of aircraft fuel is recognized as an expense in the cost of sales category based on the actual consumption during flight operations. Fuel costs are recorded in the income statement in the period when the fuel is consumed and are reported on an accrual basis.
	5.	Aircraft Maintenance: Aircraft maintenance expenses include both routine and non-routine maintenance. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. Non-routine maintenance expenses, such as major repairs and overhauls, are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life. The amortization expense is included in the cost of sales expense and is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life.
	6.	Other Aircraft Operating Expenses: Other aircraft operating expenses include costs such as insurance, landing fees, navigation charges, and catering services. These expenses are recognized in the income statement as a part of the cost of sales expenses in the period when they are incurred and are reported on an accrual basis.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promoting the Company’s services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $573,881 and $426,728, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company incurs research and development costs during the process of researching and developing its technologies and future offerings. The Company’s research and development costs consist primarily of payments for third party software development that is not capitalizable. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period or over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company applies ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit. At December 31, 2023, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Loss per Common Share

 

The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic loss per share is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and would be excluded from diluted EPS calculations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 3,659,015 and 3,216,408 options, 25,975,001 and 0 warrants, respectively, excluded from the EPS calculation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with several major financial institutions located in the United States of America which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses with respect to its accounts receivable. In addition, also at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. Accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s customers have remained constant since the Company’s inception. The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in income or an offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entity’s accounting policy election. The total amount of write-offs was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as a whole for the year ending December 31, 2023. No allowance for credit losses was considered necessary at December 31, 2023.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company identifies operating segments as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company determined that the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue, for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S. and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights throughout the U.S.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (FASB ASC 326) which significantly changed how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in FASB ASC 326 were accounts receivable.

 

The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the consolidated financial statements and primarily resulted in new/enhanced disclosures only.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

Bridge Agreement

 

On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (“Bridge Agreement”) with eight investors whereby the investors purchased from the Company senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $625,000, including $281,250 from related parties. The Bridge Agreement was entered into with, and funding was provided by, Michael Winston, the Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Wrendon Timothy, a member of the Board and all three Committees of the Board, William Yankus, a member of the Board and two of its Committees, and Oxbridge RE Holdings Limited, a significant stockholder of the Company for which Mr. Timothy serves as a director and officer, as well as four other investors named in the Bridge Agreement. Given Mr. Winston’s dual role as a participant in the negotiations with third parties and his participation in the bridge financing itself, for avoidance of doubt, he has agreed to waive any right to receive accrued interest on the principal amount of his note as well as any redemption premium or any increase in the principal amount of his note in connection with an event of default, which totals in an aggregate of $20,325 as of December 31, 2023.

 

The Company received net proceeds of $500,000, resulting in an original issue discount of $112,500. The notes bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are due and payable on March 11, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company will also have the option to prepay the notes with no penalties at any time prior to the Maturity Date. The Company is required to redeem the notes with one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds of any equity or debt financing, on a pro rata basis, at a redemption premium of one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the principal amount of the notes. The Company anticipates redeeming the notes in full with proceeds expected to be received over the next several months from existing financing arrangements. The Company recognized a debt discount of $181,250 from the notes, of which $90,625 was amortized through December 31, 2023. Interest expense was $103,615 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

An event of default under the notes includes failing to redeem the notes as provided above and other typical bankruptcy events of the Company. In an event of default, the outstanding principal of the notes shall increase by one hundred and twenty percent (120%), and investors may convert the notes into common stock of the Company at the lower of (a) the Fixed Conversion Price or (b) the lowest daily volume-weighted average price reported by Bloomberg (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the ten (10) business days before the conversion date. If the daily VWAP of the common stock is below $1.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Conversion Price shall be 95% of the lowest daily VWAP ten (10) days before conversion date.

 

These notes were fully repaid in March 2024.

 

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Lease

 

In November 2021, the Company entered into a leasing arrangement with a third party for an aircraft to be used in the Company’s operations. The lease term is for 60 months, expiring November 2026, and requires monthly lease payments. At any time during the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor at the aircraft’s fair market value at that time.

 

The lease agreement also requires the Company to hold a liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for the duration of the lease term. The liquidity reserve is held in a bank account owned by the Company. As such, this is classified as restricted cash and is included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The maintenance reserve are funds held by the lessor to be used for reasonable maintenance expenses in excess of those covered by the airframe and engine maintenance programs maintained by the Company. These maintenance programs are designed to fully cover the Company’s aircraft’s maintenance costs, both scheduled and unscheduled, and therefore the Company does not expect these funds will be drawn upon. If funds from the maintenance reserve are expended by the lessor, the Company is required to replenish the maintenance reserve account up to the required reserve amount. Any funds remaining at the end of the Lease term will be returned to the Company. The maintenance reserve is included within deposits and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In connection with this leasing arrangement, the Company agreed to pay an arrangement fee of $70,500 to a separate third party.

 

On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into an additional leasing arrangement with a third party for an aircraft to be used in the Company’s operations, substantially identical to the terms of the November 2021 agreement. The lease term was for 60 months, expiring April 4, 2027, and required monthly lease payments. At any time during the lease term, the Company had the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor at the aircraft’s fair market value at that time. The lease agreement also required the Company to maintain its existing liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account as well as an additional maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for the duration of the lease term. The liquidity reserve is required to be held in a bank account owned by the Company. Any funds remaining at the end of the Lease term would be returned to the Company. In May 2022, the Company exercised the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor and in June 2022 sold the aircraft.

 

Total lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,192,184 and $863,824, respectively, which is included within cost of revenues in the accompanying statement of operations.

Share Purchase Agreement

 

Jet Token executed a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2022, with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (together with GEM Yield LLC SCS, “GEM”), which was automatically assumed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company has the right to periodically issue and sell to GEM, and GEM has agreed to purchase, up to $40,000,000 aggregate value of shares of the Company’s common stock during the 36-month period following the date of listing.

 

In consideration for these services, the Company has agreed to pay GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 payable in cash or freely tradable shares of the Company’s common stock, payable on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of listing. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to GEM a warrant granting it the right to purchase up to 2,179,447 shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The warrant has an exercise price of $8.40 and a term of three years.

 

The Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GEM, obligating the Company to file a registration statement with respect to resales of the shares of common stock issuable to GEM under the Share Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the warrant. Because such registration statement was not declared effective by October 23, 2023 (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), the Company must pay to GEM an amount equal to $10,000 for each day following the Effectiveness Deadline until the registration statement has been declared effective. The fee payable under the GEM Registration Rights Agreement will not exceed $300,000 if such delay in the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement is caused by delays in SEC review of the registration statement or the SEC’s refusal to declare the registration statement effective. The Company has accrued $300,000 as of December 31, 2023 with respect to this agreement.

 

On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement, retroactively effective as of August 10, 2023 (the “GEM Warrant Amendment”). The GEM Warrant Amendment provides that GEM can elect to limit the exercisability of its warrant (the “GEM Warrant”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), such that it is not exercisable to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, GEM and its affiliates, to the Company’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. On October 23 2023, GEM provided a notice to the Company electing to have this limit apply to the GEM Warrant effective as of August 10, 2023. GEM may revoke this election notice by providing written notice to the Company of such revocation, which revocation would not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

On August 6, 2023, Oxbridge entered into an agreement with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (ii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and (iii) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, “Seller”) (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) for OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions. For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Oxbridge is referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, while Jet.AI is referred to as the “Counterparty” after the consummation of the Business Combination. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller intended, but was not obligated, to purchase up to 1,186,952 (the “Purchased Amount”) Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Oxbridge (“Oxbridge Shares”) concurrently with the Closing pursuant to the Seller’s FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement (as defined below), less the number of Oxbridge Shares purchased by the Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”). No Seller was required to purchase an amount of Oxbridge Shares such that following such purchase, that Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.9% of the total Oxbridge Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless the Seller, at its sole discretion, waived such 9.9% ownership limitation. The number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Optional Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

 

The Forward Purchase Agreement provided for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to $1,250,000 (the “Prepayment Shortfall”); provided that Seller shall pay one half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall to Counterparty on the Prepayment Date (which amount shall be netted from the Prepayment Amount) (the “Initial Shortfall”) and, at the request of Counterparty, the other one half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall (the “Future Shortfall”) on the date that the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective (the “Registration Statement Effective Date”), provided the VWAP Price is greater than $6.00 for any 45 trading days during the prior 90 consecutive trading day period and average daily trading value over such period equals at least four times the Future Shortfall. Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time following the Trade Date and at any sales price, without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 100% of the Initial Shortfall and 100% of the Future Shortfall actually paid to Counterparty (as set forth under Shortfall Sales in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,” and such Shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of Shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares, when an OET Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case the delivery of such notice in the sole discretion of the Seller (as further described in the “Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” sections in the Forward Purchase Agreement).

 

The Forward Purchase Agreement provided that the Seller would be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the redemption price per share as defined in Article 49.5 of Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, effective as of August 11, 2021, as amended from time to time (the “Initial Price”), less (y) the Prepayment Shortfall.

 

The Seller agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Recycled Shares in connection with the Business Combination, as well as any redemption rights under Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would require redemption by Oxbridge. Such waiver reduced the number of Oxbridge Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, which may have altered the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The shares initially held by Seller consisted of 663,556 shares it purchased from third parties through a broker in open market transactions or by reversing previously submitted redemption requests and waived its redemption rights with respect to these shares. Furthermore, Seller purchased 247,756 “Additional Shares” directly from the Company for a per share price of $10.00 pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into on August 6, 2023 (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”). Of the shares it purchased, 50,000 shares represented Share Consideration to Seller under the Forward Purchase Agreement and are not subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, meaning that Seller is free to sell such shares and retain all proceeds therefrom. Netting out the Share Consideration, the total “Number of Shares” initially subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement was 861,312, comprising 613,556 “Recycled Shares” and 247,756 Additional Shares. Following the Closing of the Business Combination, approximately $7.4 million remained in the trust account pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Company paid Seller $6,805,651, representing amounts payable by us to Seller under the Forward Purchase Agreement, net of the aggregate purchase price of the total number of Additional Shares issued to Seller under the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement; and Seller paid the Company one-half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall, or $625,000.

 

On August 31, 2023 and October 2, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment and a second amendment, respectively (together, the “Amendments”) to its Forward Purchase Agreement.

 

The combined effect of the Amendments was to:

 

	●	increase the total number of additional shares Seller purchased from the Company under an FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement to 548,127 shares of the Company’s common stock,
	●	provide payment to the Company of “Future Shortfall” amounts totaling $550,000 and reducing the Prepayment Shortfall to $1,175,000, all of which has been paid to the Company,
	●	increase the total share consideration to Seller to 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,
	●	reduce the remaining number of Recycled Shares to 296,518,
	●	increase the number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement to 994,645, and
	●	extend the “Valuation Date” to the two year anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination, or earlier at the discretion of Seller and upon notice to the Company.

 

The Forward Purchase Agreement, as amended, provides for a cash settlement following the Valuation Date, at which time Seller is obligated to pay the Company an amount equal to the “Number of Shares” subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement (provided such Shares are registered for resale or freely transferrable pursuant to an exemption from registration) multiplied by a per share price reflecting the Company’s volume weighted average trading price over a number of days following the Valuation Date, subject to alternate calculations in certain circumstances and Meteora’s option to early terminate the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Forward Purchase Agreement was determined to be a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument under ASC 480. The FPA does not include an obligation to issue warrants. As such, the FPA shares were classified as equity and net payments made to the company were recorded to additional paid in capital as part of the recapitalization.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, in December 2023, Meteora sent Optional Early Termination Notices to the Company informing the Company that it had elected to terminate the transaction with respect to all outstanding shares and paid the Company an aggregate $921,945. As a result of the foregoing, the net proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of additional common stock pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement and the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement are $1,221,945 and the facility was terminated.

 

FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreements

 

On August 6, 2023, Oxbridge entered into a subscription agreement (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with Seller.

 

Pursuant to the FPA Funding PIPE Subscription Agreement, Seller agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Oxbridge agreed to issue and sell to Seller, on the Closing Date, an aggregate of up to 1,186,952 Oxbridge Shares, less the Recycled Shares in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Exercisable at December 31, 2023			2,943,807			$	7.64				7.10

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options that contain service and/or performance conditions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The range of input assumptions used by the Company were as follows:

 

SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTIONS VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

		2023				2022
Expected life (years)			6 to 10				6 to 10
Risk-free interest rate			3.55% - 4.55	%			1.43% - 4.10	%
Expected volatility			90	%			80	%
Annual dividend yield			0	%			0	%
Per share grant date fair value		$	2.58			$	17.47

 

The Company recognizes stock option forfeitures as they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates.

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption for options granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States government securities appropriate for the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

 

The expected term of stock options is calculated using the simplified method which takes into consideration the contractual life and vesting terms of the options.

 

The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for options granted using the historical volatility of comparable public company’s common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future stock option grants, until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.

 

The dividend yield assumption for options granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation expense of $6,645,891 and $6,942,653, respectively, was recognized for the vesting of these options. As of December 31, 2023, there was approximately $4,690,000 in unrecognized stock-based compensation, which will be recognized through December 2026.

In addition to the service-based requirements, in order for the RSUs to vest, the Company will need to undertake an IPO or a sale as defined by the grant notice.

A reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at the statutory federal income tax rate to income taxes as reflected in the financial statements is as follows:

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are comprised of the following:

 SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

		2023				2022
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating loss carryover		$	2,529,000			$	1,472,000
Valuation allowance			(2,529,000	)			(1,472,000	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	-			$	-

 

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses in the United States, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against these net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. The Company’s valuation allowance increased during 2023 by approximately $1,087,000 primarily due to the generation of a net operating loss of approximately $5,100,000.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $12,100,000. The federal operating losses since inception have no expiration.

 

Utilization of the U.S. federal and state net operating loss may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and corresponding provisions of state law, due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities, respectively. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether a change of ownership has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since its formation. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization.

 

The Company is subject to tax in the United States (“U.S.”) and files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and several states and local jurisdictions where the Company has determined it has tax nexus. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods since Inception. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), a corporation has the power to indemnify its directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances and, subject to certain limitations, against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, to which any of them is a party by reason of his being a director or officer of the corporation if it is determined that he acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provision. In addition, a corporation may advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking from such person to repay any amount so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not eligible for indemnification. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to the DGCL, the registrant’s directors shall not be liable for monetary damages to the fullest extent authorized under applicable law. This provision in the registrant’s certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of the law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

 

Article VI of the registrant’s bylaws provides that the registrant will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (other than an action by or in the right of the registrant) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the registrant, or is or was a director or officer of the registrant serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

In addition to the above, the registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the registrant’s directors and officers. These indemnification agreements provide the registrant’s directors and officers with the same indemnification and advancement of expenses as described above and provide that our directors and officers will be indemnified to the fullest extent authorized by any future Delaware law that expands the permissible scope of indemnification. The registrant also has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which provides coverage against certain liabilities that may be incurred by the registrant’s directors and officers in their capacities as directors and officers of the registrant.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS	NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS   Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Oxbridge”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 12, 2021. Oxbridge was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock or share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Jet Token Inc. was formed on June 4, 2018 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.   On August 10, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Oxbridge consummated the business combination transaction (“Business Combination”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with OXAC Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“First Merger Sub”), Summerlin Aviation LLC (f/k/a OXAC Merger Sub II, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“Second Merger Sub”), and Jet Token, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jet Token”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between Oxbridge and Jet Token was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub and Jet Token, with Jet Token emerging as the surviving company, followed by a merger between Jet Token and Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub emerging as the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge. In connection with the finalization of the Business Combination on August 10, 2023, Oxbridge filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which the Company was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and immediately changed its name to Jet.AI, Inc. (“Jet.AI” or the “Company”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company has one class of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “JTAI”. The Company’s warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “JTAIW” and “JTAIZ”, respectively.   Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Second Merger Sub and its subsidiaries, and the stockholders of Jet Token as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Jet Token Stockholders”) hold a portion of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Jet.AI Common Stock”).   As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share of Oxbridge was converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Jet.AI Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share of Oxbridge was converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Jet.AI Common Stock; (c) each then issued and outstanding Oxbridge Warrant was converted automatically into a warrant to purchase one share of Jet.AI Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement (“Jet.AI Warrant”); and (d) each then issued and outstanding Oxbridge Unit was converted automatically into a Jet.AI Unit, each consisting of one share of Jet.AI Common Stock and one Jet.AI Warrant.   At the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), (i) each outstanding share of Jet Token Common Stock, including each share of Jet Token Preferred Stock that was converted into shares of Jet Token Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive (x) the number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio of 0.03094529, and (y) the number of warrants (“Merger Consideration Warrants”) equal to the Warrant Exchange Ratio of 0.04924242; (ii) each Jet Token Option, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of Jet.AI Options based on the Option Exchange Ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and as further described in the Proxy Statement); (iii) each Jet Token Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into a warrant to acquire (x) a number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio and (y) a number of Merger Consideration Warrants equal to the Warrant Exchange Ratio; and (iv) each Jet Token RSU Award that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a Jet.AI RSU Award with respect to a number of RSUs based on the applicable exchange ratio as determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.   The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, is principally involved in (i) the sale of fractional and whole interests in aircraft, (ii) the sale of jet cards, which enable holders to use certain of the Company’s and other’s aircraft at agreed-upon rates, (iii) the operation of a proprietary booking platform (the “App”), which functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers as well as via the Company’s leased and managed aircraft, (iv) direct chartering of its HondaJet aircraft by Cirrus, (v) aircraft brokerage and (vi) service revenue from the monthly management and hourly operation of customer aircraft.     JET.AI, INC.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   Going Concern and Management Plans   The Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since Inception. These matters raise concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.   The Company began ramping up its revenue-generating activities during the second half of the year ended December 31, 2021 and continuing into 2022 and 2023. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funds from its operations, drawdowns under its GEM share purchase agreement, as well as proceeds from other financing arrangements. The Company also has the ability to reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however, that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.   Basis of Presentation   The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein.   The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby Oxbridge is treated as the acquired company and Jet Token is treated as the acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of Oxbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Oxbridge were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.   Jet Token has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors:     ● Jet Token’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity;   ● Jet Token existing stockholders have the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity Board;   ● Jet Token’s senior management is the senior management of the combined entity   ● Jet Token is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base; and   ● The post-combination company has assumed a Jet Token branded name: “Jet.AI Inc.”   Principles of Consolidation   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jet.AI Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summerlin Aviation LLC, Jet Token Software Inc., Jet Token Management Inc., Galilee LLC, and Galilee 1 SPV LLC and Cloudrise Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.   The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Jet Token. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Use of Estimates   The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments   Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:   Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.   The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.   Risks and Uncertainties   The Company has a limited operating history and has only recently begun generating revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include but are not limited to: changes in the airline industry, fuel and operating costs, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, regulations on carbon emissions from aviation and market acceptance of the Company’s business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.   Cash and Cash Equivalents   For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included within cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash of $500,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022.   Offering Costs   The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ (deficit) equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Other Current Assets   Other current assets include security deposits, which relate primarily to contractual prepayments to third-parties for future services, prepaid expenses and customer receivables for additional expenses incurred in their charter trips.   Property and Equipment   Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, property and equipment consisted entirely of equipment which is being depreciated over a three-year period.   Internal Use Software   The Company incurs software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet its internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver its services. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once a preliminary project stage is complete, funding has been committed, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has capitalized approximately $398,000 of internal software related costs, which is included in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The software officially launched on December 31, 2020. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $132,702, and is included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2023 was $398,101.   Investments in Joint Ventures   In January 2023, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture subsidiary with Great Western Air LLC dba Cirrus Aviation Services, 380 Software LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Costs and profits are to be shared equally. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method whereby the initial investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company’s share of income or loss from the joint venture. The Company has made investments in the joint venture totaling $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023. There is currently no financial activity or material assets to report for this joint venture beyond this initial investment.   Leases   The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in each lease was readily determinable to discount lease payments.   The operating lease right-of-use assets include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate, and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset when they are at the Company’s discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.   The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets   The Company follows ASC 360, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360 requires that if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value would be required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360 as being held for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell.   Revenue Recognition   In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:     ● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;   ● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;   ● Determination of the transaction price;   ● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and   ● Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.   Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Jet Token App and (iv) aircraft management.   Under the fractional ownership program, a customer purchases an ownership share in a jet which guarantees the customer access to the jet for a preset number of hours per year. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a Monthly Management Fee (MMF) and an Occupied Hourly Fee (OHF). Revenues from the sale of fractional or whole interests in an aircraft are recognized at the time title to the aircraft is transferred to the purchasers, which generally occurs upon delivery or ownership transfer.   The jet card program provides the customer with a preset number of hours of guaranteed private jet access over the agreement term (generally a year) without the larger hourly or capital commitment of purchasing an ownership share. The jet card program consists of a fixed hourly rate for flight hours typically paid 100% up front.   Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the Company’s promised services, which generally occurs upon the flight hours being used. Any unused hours for the fractional jet and jet card programs are forfeited at the end of the contract term and are thus immediately recognized as revenue at that time.   Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, the Company initially recognizes a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future date. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company deferred $1,510,976 and $933,361, respectively, related to prepaid flight hours under the jet card program for which the related travel had not yet occurred.   The Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Company’s App, whereby the Company will source, negotiate, and arrange travel on a charter basis for a customer based on pre-selected options and pricing provided by the Company to the customer through the App. In addition, Cirrus markets charter on the Company’s aircraft for the Company’s benefit. Deferred revenue with respect to the App was $268,818 as of December 31, 2023.   The Company utilizes certificated independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of flights. The Company evaluates whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services the Company provides to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. The Company directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that the Company acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements. Owner charter revenue is recognized for flights where the owner of a managed aircraft sets the price for the trip. The Company records owner charter revenue at the time of flight on a net basis for the margin we receive to operate the aircraft. If the Company has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   The following is a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.  SCHEDULE OF BREAKOUT OF REVENUE COMPONENTS BY SUBCATEGORY     2023     2022       For the Year Ended       December 31,       2023     2022                 Software App and Cirrus Charter   $ 7,125,230     $ 2,004,807   Jet Card and Fractional Programs     2,847,533       2,257,736   Management and Other Services     2,241,793       400,185   Fractional/Whole Aircraft Sales     -       17,200,000   Total revenues   $ 12,214,556     $ 21,862,728     Flights   Flights and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in which the service is provided. For round-trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment.   Fractional and jet card members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights based on a contractual capped hourly rate. Ad hoc charter customers primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs are paid by members through the purchase of dollar-denominated prepaid blocks of flight hours (“Prepaid Blocks”), and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation are billed monthly as incurred. Prepaid Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment.   Aircraft Management   The Company manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner-incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking and other related operating costs. The Company passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.   Aircraft management-related revenue contains two types of performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed.   Aircraft Sales   The Company acquires aircraft from vendors and various other third-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The Company’s classifies the purchase as aircraft inventory on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Sales are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded aircraft sales of $0 and $17,200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Pass-Through Costs   In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are distinct performance obligations. The Company then assesses whether it is acting as an agent or a principal for each identified performance obligation and includes revenue within the transaction price for third-party costs when the Company determines that it is acting as the principal.   Cost of Sales   The cost of sales expenses includes costs incurred in providing air transportation services, such as chartering third-party aircraft, aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses.     1. Chartering Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering third-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. These expenses include the fees paid to third-party operators for providing aircraft services on behalf of the company. Expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period when the service is rendered and are reported on an accrual basis.         2. Aircraft Lease Expenses: Aircraft lease expenses include the cost of leasing aircraft for the company’s operations. The lease expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis.         3. Pilot Training and Wages: Pilot training costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of sales expenses. This encompasses expenses related to initial pilot training, recurrent training, and any additional required training programs. Pilot wages, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits, are also recognized as a part of the cost of sales expenses and are reported on an accrual basis.         4. Aircraft Fuel: The cost of aircraft fuel is recognized as an expense in the cost of sales category based on the actual consumption during flight operations. Fuel costs are recorded in the income statement in the period when the fuel is consumed and are reported on an accrual basis.         5. Aircraft Maintenance: Aircraft maintenance expenses include both routine and non-routine maintenance. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. Non-routine maintenance expenses, such as major repairs and overhauls, are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life. The amortization expense is included in the cost of sales expense and is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life.         6. Other Aircraft Operating Expenses: Other aircraft operating expenses include costs such as insurance, landing fees, navigation charges, and catering services. These expenses are recognized in the income statement as a part of the cost of sales expenses in the period when they are incurred and are reported on an accrual basis.   Advertising Costs   The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promoting the Company’s services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $573,881 and $426,728, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.   Research and Development   The Company incurs research and development costs during the process of researching and developing its technologies and future offerings. The Company’s research and development costs consist primarily of payments for third party software development that is not capitalizable. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Stock-Based Compensation   The Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period or over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.   Income Taxes   The Company applies ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.   ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit. At December 31, 2023, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.   Loss per Common Share   The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic loss per share is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and would be excluded from diluted EPS calculations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 3,659,015 and 3,216,408 options, 25,975,001 and 0 warrants, respectively, excluded from the EPS calculation.   Concentration of Credit Risk   The Company maintains its cash with several major financial institutions located in the United States of America which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.   Allowance for Credit Losses   The Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses with respect to its accounts receivable. In addition, also at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. Accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s customers have remained constant since the Company’s inception. The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in income or an offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entity’s accounting policy election. The total amount of write-offs was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as a whole for the year ending December 31, 2023. No allowance for credit losses was considered necessary at December 31, 2023.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Segment Reporting   The Company identifies operating segments as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company determined that the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue, for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S. and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights throughout the U.S.   Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance   In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (FASB ASC 326) which significantly changed how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in FASB ASC 326 were accounts receivable.   The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the consolidated financial statements and primarily resulted in new/enhanced disclosures only.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
NOTES PAYABLE	NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE   Bridge Agreement   On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (“Bridge Agreement”) with eight investors whereby the investors purchased from the Company senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $625,000, including $281,250 from related parties. The Bridge Agreement was entered into with, and funding was provided by, Michael Winston, the Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Wrendon Timothy, a member of the Board and all three Committees of the Board, William Yankus, a member of the Board and two of its Committees, and Oxbridge RE Holdings Limited, a significant stockholder of the Company for which Mr. Timothy serves as a director and officer, as well as four other investors named in the Bridge Agreement. Given Mr. Winston’s dual role as a participant in the negotiations with third parties and his participation in the bridge financing itself, for avoidance of doubt, he has agreed to waive any right to receive accrued interest on the principal amount of his note as well as any redemption premium or any increase in the principal amount of his note in connection with an event of default, which totals in an aggregate of $20,325 as of December 31, 2023.   The Company received net proceeds of $500,000, resulting in an original issue discount of $112,500. The notes bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are due and payable on March 11, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company will also have the option to prepay the notes with no penalties at any time prior to the Maturity Date. The Company is required to redeem the notes with one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds of any equity or debt financing, on a pro rata basis, at a redemption premium of one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the principal amount of the notes. The Company anticipates redeeming the notes in full with proceeds expected to be received over the next several months from existing financing arrangements. The Company recognized a debt discount of $181,250 from the notes, of which $90,625 was amortized through December 31, 2023. Interest expense was $103,615 for the year ended December 31, 2023.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   An event of default under the notes includes failing to redeem the notes as provided above and other typical bankruptcy events of the Company. In an event of default, the outstanding principal of the notes shall increase by one hundred and twenty percent (120%), and investors may convert the notes into common stock of the Company at the lower of (a) the Fixed Conversion Price or (b) the lowest daily volume-weighted average price reported by Bloomberg (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the ten (10) business days before the conversion date. If the daily VWAP of the common stock is below $1.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Conversion Price shall be 95% of the lowest daily VWAP ten (10) days before conversion date.   These notes were fully repaid in March 2024.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES   Operating Lease   In November 2021, the Company entered into a leasing arrangement with a third party for an aircraft to be used in the Company’s operations. The lease term is for 60 months, expiring November 2026, and requires monthly lease payments. At any time during the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor at the aircraft’s fair market value at that time.   The lease agreement also requires the Company to hold a liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for the duration of the lease term. The liquidity reserve is held in a bank account owned by the Company. As such, this is classified as restricted cash and is included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The maintenance reserve are funds held by the lessor to be used for reasonable maintenance expenses in excess of those covered by the airframe and engine maintenance programs maintained by the Company. These maintenance programs are designed to fully cover the Company’s aircraft’s maintenance costs, both scheduled and unscheduled, and therefore the Company does not expect these funds will be drawn upon. If funds from the maintenance reserve are expended by the lessor, the Company is required to replenish the maintenance reserve account up to the required reserve amount. Any funds remaining at the end of the Lease term will be returned to the Company. The maintenance reserve is included within deposits and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In connection with this leasing arrangement, the Company agreed to pay an arrangement fee of $70,500 to a separate third party.   On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into an additional leasing arrangement with a third party for an aircraft to be used in the Company’s operations, substantially identical to the terms of the November 2021 agreement. The lease term was for 60 months, expiring April 4, 2027, and required monthly lease payments. At any time during the lease term, the Company had the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor at the aircraft’s fair market value at that time. The lease agreement also required the Company to maintain its existing liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account as well as an additional maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for the duration of the lease term. The liquidity reserve is required to be held in a bank account owned by the Company. Any funds remaining at the end of the Lease term would be returned to the Company. In May 2022, the Company exercised the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor and in June 2022 sold the aircraft.   Total lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,192,184 and $863,824, respectively, which is included within cost of revenues in the accompanying statement of operations.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities for our operating lease was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:  SCHEDULE OF OPERATING LEASE RIGHT OF USE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES     2023     2022       For the Year Ended       December 31,       2023     2022                 Operating lease right-of-use asset   $ 2,576,036     $ 2,576,036   Accumulated amortization     (1,003,547 )     (494,468 ) Net balance   $ 1,572,489     $ 2,081,568                     Lease liability, current portion   $ 510,034     $ 494,979   Lease liability, long-term     1,021,330       1,531,364   Total operating lease liabilities   $ 1,531,364     $ 2,026,343     As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term was 3.0 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 3%.   As of December 31, 2023, future minimum required lease payments due under the non-cancellable operating lease are as follows:  SCHEDULE OF FUTURE MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS           2024     549,000   2025     549,000   2026     503,250   Total future minimum lease payments     1,601,250   Less imputed interest     (69,886 ) Maturities of lease liabilities   $ 1,531,364     Share Purchase Agreement   Jet Token executed a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2022, with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (together with GEM Yield LLC SCS, “GEM”), which was automatically assumed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company has the right to periodically issue and sell to GEM, and GEM has agreed to purchase, up to $40,000,000 aggregate value of shares of the Company’s common stock during the 36-month period following the date of listing.   In consideration for these services, the Company has agreed to pay GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 payable in cash or freely tradable shares of the Company’s common stock, payable on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of listing. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to GEM a warrant granting it the right to purchase up to 2,179,447 shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The warrant has an exercise price of $8.40 and a term of three years.   The Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GEM, obligating the Company to file a registration statement with respect to resales of the shares of common stock issuable to GEM under the Share Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the warrant. Because such registration statement was not declared effective by October 23, 2023 (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), the Company must pay to GEM an amount equal to $10,000 for each day following the Effectiveness Deadline until the registration statement has been declared effective. The fee payable under the GEM Registration Rights Agreement will not exceed $300,000 if such delay in the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement is caused by delays in SEC review of the registration statement or the SEC’s refusal to declare the registration statement effective. The Company has accrued $300,000 as of December 31, 2023 with respect to this agreement.   On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement, retroactively effective as of August 10, 2023 (the “GEM Warrant Amendment”). The GEM Warrant Amendment provides that GEM can elect to limit the exercisability of its warrant (the “GEM Warrant”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), such that it is not exercisable to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, GEM and its affiliates, to the Company’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. On October 23 2023, GEM provided a notice to the Company electing to have this limit apply to the GEM Warrant effective as of August 10, 2023. GEM may revoke this election notice by providing written notice to the Company of such revocation, which revocation would not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Forward Purchase Agreement   On August 6, 2023, Oxbridge entered into an agreement with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (ii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and (iii) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, “Seller”) (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) for OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions. For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Oxbridge is referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, while Jet.AI is referred to as the “Counterparty” after the consummation of the Business Combination. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.   Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller intended, but was not obligated, to purchase up to 1,186,952 (the “Purchased Amount”) Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Oxbridge (“Oxbridge Shares”) concurrently with the Closing pursuant to the Seller’s FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement (as defined below), less the number of Oxbridge Shares purchased by the Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”). No Seller was required to purchase an amount of Oxbridge Shares such that following such purchase, that Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.9% of the total Oxbridge Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless the Seller, at its sole discretion, waived such 9.9% ownership limitation. The number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Optional Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement.   The Forward Purchase Agreement provided for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to $1,250,000 (the “Prepayment Shortfall”); provided that Seller shall pay one half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall to Counterparty on the Prepayment Date (which amount shall be netted from the Prepayment Amount) (the “Initial Shortfall”) and, at the request of Counterparty, the other one half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall (the “Future Shortfall”) on the date that the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective (the “Registration Statement Effective Date”), provided the VWAP Price is greater than $6.00 for any 45 trading days during the prior 90 consecutive trading day period and average daily trading value over such period equals at least four times the Future Shortfall. Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time following the Trade Date and at any sales price, without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 100% of the Initial Shortfall and 100% of the Future Shortfall actually paid to Counterparty (as set forth under Shortfall Sales in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,” and such Shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of Shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares, when an OET Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case the delivery of such notice in the sole discretion of the Seller (as further described in the “Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” sections in the Forward Purchase Agreement).   The Forward Purchase Agreement provided that the Seller would be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the redemption price per share as defined in Article 49.5 of Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, effective as of August 11, 2021, as amended from time to time (the “Initial Price”), less (y) the Prepayment Shortfall.   The Seller agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Recycled Shares in connection with the Business Combination, as well as any redemption rights under Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would require redemption by Oxbridge. Such waiver reduced the number of Oxbridge Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, which may have altered the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   The shares initially held by Seller consisted of 663,556 shares it purchased from third parties through a broker in open market transactions or by reversing previously submitted redemption requests and waived its redemption rights with respect to these shares. Furthermore, Seller purchased 247,756 “Additional Shares” directly from the Company for a per share price of $10.00 pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into on August 6, 2023 (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”). Of the shares it purchased, 50,000 shares represented Share Consideration to Seller under the Forward Purchase Agreement and are not subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, meaning that Seller is free to sell such shares and retain all proceeds therefrom. Netting out the Share Consideration, the total “Number of Shares” initially subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement was 861,312, comprising 613,556 “Recycled Shares” and 247,756 Additional Shares. Following the Closing of the Business Combination, approximately $7.4 million remained in the trust account pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Company paid Seller $6,805,651, representing amounts payable by us to Seller under the Forward Purchase Agreement, net of the aggregate purchase price of the total number of Additional Shares issued to Seller under the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement; and Seller paid the Company one-half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall, or $625,000.   On August 31, 2023 and October 2, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment and a second amendment, respectively (together, the “Amendments”) to its Forward Purchase Agreement.   The combined effect of the Amendments was to:     ● increase the total number of additional shares Seller purchased from the Company under an FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement to 548,127 shares of the Company’s common stock,   ● provide payment to the Company of “Future Shortfall” amounts totaling $550,000 and reducing the Prepayment Shortfall to $1,175,000, all of which has been paid to the Company,   ● increase the total share consideration to Seller to 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,   ● reduce the remaining number of Recycled Shares to 296,518,   ● increase the number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement to 994,645, and   ● extend the “Valuation Date” to the two year anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination, or earlier at the discretion of Seller and upon notice to the Company.   The Forward Purchase Agreement, as amended, provides for a cash settlement following the Valuation Date, at which time Seller is obligated to pay the Company an amount equal to the “Number of Shares” subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement (provided such Shares are registered for resale or freely transferrable pursuant to an exemption from registration) multiplied by a per share price reflecting the Company’s volume weighted average trading price over a number of days following the Valuation Date, subject to alternate calculations in certain circumstances and Meteora’s option to early terminate the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Forward Purchase Agreement was determined to be a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument under ASC 480. The FPA does not include an obligation to issue warrants. As such, the FPA shares were classified as equity and net payments made to the company were recorded to additional paid in capital as part of the recapitalization.   Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, in December 2023, Meteora sent Optional Early Termination Notices to the Company informing the Company that it had elected to terminate the transaction with respect to all outstanding shares and paid the Company an aggregate $921,945. As a result of the foregoing, the net proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of additional common stock pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement and the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement are $1,221,945 and the facility was terminated.   FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreements   On August 6, 2023, Oxbridge entered into a subscription agreement (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with Seller.   Pursuant to the FPA Funding PIPE Subscription Agreement, Seller agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Oxbridge agreed to issue and sell to Seller, on the Closing Date, an aggregate of up to 1,186,952 Oxbridge Shares, less the Recycled Shares in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Maxim Settlement Agreement   On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Maxim Settlement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter for the Company’s initial public offering (“Maxim”). Pursuant to the Maxim Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 270,000 shares of Jet.AI Common Stock to settle the payment obligations of the Company under the underwriting agreement dated on or about August 11, 2021, by and between the Company and Maxim, which shares of Jet.AI Common Stock are subject to a Registration Rights Agreement. The Company also issued 1,127 shares of 8% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in an amount equal in value to $1,127,000 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The shares of Jet.AI Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares are subject to mandatory redemption on August 10, 2024, which will be automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the net proceeds must be used to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares.   Sponsor Settlement Agreement   On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Sponsor Settlement Agreement”) with Sponsor. Pursuant to the Sponsor Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 575 shares of the Company’s 5% Series A-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Shares”) to settle the payment obligations of the Company under a promissory note in the principal amount of $575,000 dated November 14, 2022 in favor of Sponsor. The shares of Jet.AI Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares are subject to mandatory redemption on August 10, 2024, which will be automatically extended by an additional three (3) month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater. If the Company raises equity capital, 15% of the net proceeds must be used to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares. Cumulative preferred stock dividends on Series A-1 preferred shares were $46,587 at December 31, 2023.

The Company also had 5,760,000 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2023 with an exercise price of $11.50.   In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, the Jet.AI Board adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan in order to facilitate the grant of equity awards to attract, retain and incentivize employees (including the named executive officers), independent contractors and directors of Jet.AI Inc. and its affiliates, which is essential to Jet.AI Inc.’s long term success. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is a continuation of the 2018 Plan and 2021 Plan, which were assumed from Jet Token and amended, restated and re-named into the form of the Omnibus Incentive Plan effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination.   In February 2020, the Company undertook a Regulation A, Tier 2 offering for which it is selling up to 1,031,510 non-voting common stock at $9.69 per share for a maximum of $10,000,000.

This offering closed on January 18, 2023.   Stock Options   In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants, including the direct award or sale of shares, stock options, and restricted stock units to purchase shares. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is a continuation of the 2018 Plan and 2021 Plan, which were assumed from Jet Token and amended, restated and re-named into the form of the Omnibus Incentive Plan effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan was 19,802. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, and expires ten years after adoption, unless terminated by the Board.   On June 4, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Jet.AI, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of equity awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan was 2,320,897. The 2018 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors.   In August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Jet Token Inc. 2021 Stock Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 plan provides for the grant of equity awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants, including the direct award or sale of shares, stock options, and restricted stock units to purchase shares. Up to 154,726 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the 2021 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized under the 2021 Plan to 464,179. In the event that shares of common stock subject to outstanding options or other securities under the Company’s 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan expire or become exercisable in accordance with their terms, such shares shall be automatically transferred to the 2021 Plan and added to the number of shares then available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, and expires ten years after adoption, unless terminated by the Board.   During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted a total of 284,016 stock options to purchase common stock to various advisors and consultants. The options have a ten-year life and are exercisable at $10.42. 42,643 of the options were immediately vested on the grant date while the remaining options vest in monthly tranches over a three-year period. The options had a grant date fair value of approximately $4,774,000, which will be recognized over the vesting period.   During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted a total of 458,080 stock options to purchase common stock to various employees, advisors and consultants. The options have a ten-year life and have exercise prices ranging from $2.50 to $10.42. 35,000 of the options were immediately vested on the grant date, 6,189 of the options vest over a period of two months, while the remaining options vest in monthly tranches over a three-year period. The options had a grant date fair value of approximately $2,113,000, which will be recognized over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 3,659,015 total options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $6.19. At December 31, 2023, 19,802 options were available for grant.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   A summary of our stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, is as follows: SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTIONS ACTIVITY       Number of Shares     Weighted Average Exercise Price     Weighted average Remaining Contractual Term   Outstanding at December 31, 2021     2,932,392     $ 6.09       8.93   Granted     284,016       10.42       10.00   Exercised     -       -       -   Forfeitures     -       -       -   Outstanding at December 31, 2022     3,216,408       6.48       8.06   Granted     458,080       3.91       10.00   Exercised     -       -       -   Forfeitures     (15,473 )     (10.42 )     -   Outstanding at December 31, 2023     3,659,015     $ 6.19       7.40                             Exercisable at December 31, 2023     2,943,807     $ 7.64       7.10     The Company estimates the fair value of stock options that contain service and/or performance conditions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The range of input assumptions used by the Company were as follows:   SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTIONS VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS     2023     2022   Expected life (years)     6 to 10       6 to 10   Risk-free interest rate     3.55% - 4.55 %     1.43% - 4.10 % Expected volatility     90 %     80 % Annual dividend yield     0 %     0 % Per share grant date fair value   $ 2.58     $ 17.47     The Company recognizes stock option forfeitures as they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates.   The risk-free interest rate assumption for options granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States government securities appropriate for the expected term of the Company’s stock options.   The expected term of stock options is calculated using the simplified method which takes into consideration the contractual life and vesting terms of the options.   The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for options granted using the historical volatility of comparable public company’s common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future stock option grants, until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.   The dividend yield assumption for options granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.   During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation expense of $6,645,891 and $6,942,653, respectively, was recognized for the vesting of these options. As of December 31, 2023, there was approximately $4,690,000 in unrecognized stock-based compensation, which will be recognized through December 2026.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Restricted Stock Units   In August 2021, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to a contractor. The grant allows the contractor to earn up to 148,950 shares of non-voting common stock and contains both service-based vesting requirements and liquidity event requirements. Service-based requirements are such that the contractor needs to continue to provide service through August 2022. In addition to the service-based requirements, in order for the RSUs to vest, the Company will need to undertake an IPO or a sale as defined by the grant notice. The RSUs vested as a result of the Business Combination and the full amount of the expense $1,280,970 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023.   Warrants   Number of outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2023 is as follows:   SCHEDULE OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS Warrant   Expiration Date   Exercise Price     Number Outstanding   JTAIW Warrants   8/11/2028   $ 11.50       16,362,149   JTAIZ Warrants   8/11/2033   $ 15.00       7,433,405   GEM Warrants   8/11/2026   $ 8.40       2,179,447   Total                 25,975,001

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES   For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not record a current or deferred income tax expense or benefit due to current and historical losses incurred by the Company. The Company’s losses before income taxes consist solely of losses from domestic operations.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   A reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at the statutory federal income tax rate to income taxes as reflected in the financial statements is as follows:  SCHEDULE OF RECONCILIATION OF INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)       2023     2022   Statutory US Federal tax rate     21 %     21 % Permanent differences:                 State and local income taxes, net of Federal benefit     0.0 %     0.0 % Stock compensation     -11.1 %     -17.6 % Other     -0.1 %     0.0 % Temporary differences     -1.3 %     0.4 % Valuation allowance     -8.5 %     -3.8 % Total     0.0 %     0.0 %   Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are comprised of the following:  SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES       2023     2022   Deferred tax asset attributable to:                 Net operating loss carryover   $ 2,529,000     $ 1,472,000   Valuation allowance     (2,529,000 )     (1,472,000 ) Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -     The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses in the United States, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against these net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. The Company’s valuation allowance increased during 2023 by approximately $1,087,000 primarily due to the generation of a net operating loss of approximately $5,100,000.   At December 31, 2023, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $12,100,000. The federal operating losses since inception have no expiration.   Utilization of the U.S. federal and state net operating loss may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and corresponding provisions of state law, due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities, respectively. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether a change of ownership has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since its formation. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization.   The Company is subject to tax in the United States (“U.S.”) and files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and several states and local jurisdictions where the Company has determined it has tax nexus. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods since Inception. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Going Concern and Management Plans	Going Concern and Management Plans   The Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since Inception. These matters raise concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.   The Company began ramping up its revenue-generating activities during the second half of the year ended December 31, 2021 and continuing into 2022 and 2023. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funds from its operations, drawdowns under its GEM share purchase agreement, as well as proceeds from other financing arrangements. The Company also has the ability to reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however, that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation   The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein.   The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby Oxbridge is treated as the acquired company and Jet Token is treated as the acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of Oxbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Oxbridge were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.   Jet Token has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors:     ● Jet Token’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity;   ● Jet Token existing stockholders have the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity Board;   ● Jet Token’s senior management is the senior management of the combined entity   ● Jet Token is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base; and   ● The post-combination company has assumed a Jet Token branded name: “Jet.AI Inc.”
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jet.AI Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summerlin Aviation LLC, Jet Token Software Inc., Jet Token Management Inc., Galilee LLC, and Galilee 1 SPV LLC and Cloudrise Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.   The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Jet Token. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates   The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments   Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:   Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.   The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Risks and Uncertainties	Risks and Uncertainties   The Company has a limited operating history and has only recently begun generating revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include but are not limited to: changes in the airline industry, fuel and operating costs, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, regulations on carbon emissions from aviation and market acceptance of the Company’s business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents   For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included within cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash of $500,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Offering Costs	Offering Costs   The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ (deficit) equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Other Current Assets	Other Current Assets   Other current assets include security deposits, which relate primarily to contractual prepayments to third-parties for future services, prepaid expenses and customer receivables for additional expenses incurred in their charter trips.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment   Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, property and equipment consisted entirely of equipment which is being depreciated over a three-year period.
Internal Use Software	Internal Use Software   The Company incurs software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet its internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver its services. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once a preliminary project stage is complete, funding has been committed, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has capitalized approximately $398,000 of internal software related costs, which is included in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The software officially launched on December 31, 2020. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $132,702, and is included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2023 was $398,101.
Investments in Joint Ventures	Investments in Joint Ventures   In January 2023, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture subsidiary with Great Western Air LLC dba Cirrus Aviation Services, 380 Software LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Costs and profits are to be shared equally. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method whereby the initial investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company’s share of income or loss from the joint venture. The Company has made investments in the joint venture totaling $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023. There is currently no financial activity or material assets to report for this joint venture beyond this initial investment.
Leases	Leases   The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in each lease was readily determinable to discount lease payments.   The operating lease right-of-use assets include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate, and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset when they are at the Company’s discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.   The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets   The Company follows ASC 360, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360 requires that if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value would be required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360 as being held for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition   In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:     ● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;   ● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;   ● Determination of the transaction price;   ● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and   ● Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.   Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Jet Token App and (iv) aircraft management.   Under the fractional ownership program, a customer purchases an ownership share in a jet which guarantees the customer access to the jet for a preset number of hours per year. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a Monthly Management Fee (MMF) and an Occupied Hourly Fee (OHF). Revenues from the sale of fractional or whole interests in an aircraft are recognized at the time title to the aircraft is transferred to the purchasers, which generally occurs upon delivery or ownership transfer.   The jet card program provides the customer with a preset number of hours of guaranteed private jet access over the agreement term (generally a year) without the larger hourly or capital commitment of purchasing an ownership share. The jet card program consists of a fixed hourly rate for flight hours typically paid 100% up front.   Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the Company’s promised services, which generally occurs upon the flight hours being used. Any unused hours for the fractional jet and jet card programs are forfeited at the end of the contract term and are thus immediately recognized as revenue at that time.   Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, the Company initially recognizes a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future date. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company deferred $1,510,976 and $933,361, respectively, related to prepaid flight hours under the jet card program for which the related travel had not yet occurred.   The Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Company’s App, whereby the Company will source, negotiate, and arrange travel on a charter basis for a customer based on pre-selected options and pricing provided by the Company to the customer through the App. In addition, Cirrus markets charter on the Company’s aircraft for the Company’s benefit. Deferred revenue with respect to the App was $268,818 as of December 31, 2023.   The Company utilizes certificated independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of flights. The Company evaluates whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services the Company provides to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. The Company directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that the Company acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements. Owner charter revenue is recognized for flights where the owner of a managed aircraft sets the price for the trip. The Company records owner charter revenue at the time of flight on a net basis for the margin we receive to operate the aircraft. If the Company has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   The following is a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.  SCHEDULE OF BREAKOUT OF REVENUE COMPONENTS BY SUBCATEGORY     2023     2022       For the Year Ended       December 31,       2023     2022                 Software App and Cirrus Charter   $ 7,125,230     $ 2,004,807   Jet Card and Fractional Programs     2,847,533       2,257,736   Management and Other Services     2,241,793       400,185   Fractional/Whole Aircraft Sales     -       17,200,000   Total revenues   $ 12,214,556     $ 21,862,728     Flights   Flights and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in which the service is provided. For round-trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment.   Fractional and jet card members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights based on a contractual capped hourly rate. Ad hoc charter customers primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs are paid by members through the purchase of dollar-denominated prepaid blocks of flight hours (“Prepaid Blocks”), and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation are billed monthly as incurred. Prepaid Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment.   Aircraft Management   The Company manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner-incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking and other related operating costs. The Company passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.   Aircraft management-related revenue contains two types of performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed.   Aircraft Sales   The Company acquires aircraft from vendors and various other third-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The Company’s classifies the purchase as aircraft inventory on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Sales are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded aircraft sales of $0 and $17,200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   Pass-Through Costs   In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are distinct performance obligations. The Company then assesses whether it is acting as an agent or a principal for each identified performance obligation and includes revenue within the transaction price for third-party costs when the Company determines that it is acting as the principal.   Cost of Sales   The cost of sales expenses includes costs incurred in providing air transportation services, such as chartering third-party aircraft, aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses.     1. Chartering Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering third-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. These expenses include the fees paid to third-party operators for providing aircraft services on behalf of the company. Expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period when the service is rendered and are reported on an accrual basis.         2. Aircraft Lease Expenses: Aircraft lease expenses include the cost of leasing aircraft for the company’s operations. The lease expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis.         3. Pilot Training and Wages: Pilot training costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of sales expenses. This encompasses expenses related to initial pilot training, recurrent training, and any additional required training programs. Pilot wages, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits, are also recognized as a part of the cost of sales expenses and are reported on an accrual basis.         4. Aircraft Fuel: The cost of aircraft fuel is recognized as an expense in the cost of sales category based on the actual consumption during flight operations. Fuel costs are recorded in the income statement in the period when the fuel is consumed and are reported on an accrual basis.         5. Aircraft Maintenance: Aircraft maintenance expenses include both routine and non-routine maintenance. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. Non-routine maintenance expenses, such as major repairs and overhauls, are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life. The amortization expense is included in the cost of sales expense and is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life.         6. Other Aircraft Operating Expenses: Other aircraft operating expenses include costs such as insurance, landing fees, navigation charges, and catering services. These expenses are recognized in the income statement as a part of the cost of sales expenses in the period when they are incurred and are reported on an accrual basis.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs   The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promoting the Company’s services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $573,881 and $426,728, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Research and Development	Research and Development   The Company incurs research and development costs during the process of researching and developing its technologies and future offerings. The Company’s research and development costs consist primarily of payments for third party software development that is not capitalizable. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation   The Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period or over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes   The Company applies ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.   ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit. At December 31, 2023, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Loss per Common Share	Loss per Common Share   The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic loss per share is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and would be excluded from diluted EPS calculations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 3,659,015 and 3,216,408 options, 25,975,001 and 0 warrants, respectively, excluded from the EPS calculation.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk   The Company maintains its cash with several major financial institutions located in the United States of America which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses   The Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses with respect to its accounts receivable. In addition, also at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. Accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s customers have remained constant since the Company’s inception. The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in income or an offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entity’s accounting policy election. The total amount of write-offs was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as a whole for the year ending December 31, 2023. No allowance for credit losses was considered necessary at December 31, 2023.     JET.AI, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting   The Company identifies operating segments as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company determined that the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue, for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S. and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights throughout the U.S.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance	Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance   In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (FASB ASC 326) which significantly changed how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in FASB ASC 326 were accounts receivable.   The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the consolidated financial statements and primarily resulted in new/enhanced disclosures only.
