Aviation is undergoing a technological renaissance, and private flyers stand to benefit. Artificial intelligence is being adopted for predictive maintenance: algorithms analyze engine data and sensor readings to forecast when components will fail, enabling technicians to repair or replace parts before a breakdown occurs. This reduces unplanned downtime, enhances safety, and ensures that aircraft are available when you need them. Over the coming years, AI will also help optimize flight routing and fuel management, further reducing emissions and costs.
Infrastructure is expanding as well. Fixed-Base Operators (FBOs)—the private terminals that provide fueling, concierge services, and lounges—are multiplying across key regions. This growth offers travelers more options for departure and arrival airports, shorter ground transfers, and upgraded facilities. In the past two years, dozens of new and upgraded FBOs have opened, bringing VIP lounges, spa services, and gourmet dining even to mid-sized cities. Jetstime continually reviews its partner network to ensure our clients have access to the best facilities, whether you’re flying to a major hub or a remote resort. Explore our Toluca FBO gateway.
In April 2025, the National Business Aviation Association and other aviation groups launched the “National Pause for General Aviation Safety.” Pilots are encouraged to dedicate between 15 and 60 minutes to reviewing safety materials, including videos and best practices. Jetstime supports this initiative by providing our flight crews with regular training and access to resources such as the NBAA Loss of Control-Inflight Web Resource and Runway Safety guides. See NBAA safety resources.
Beyond maintenance and training, regulatory updates are improving the passenger experience. In July 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that travelers no longer need to remove their shoes at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints, thanks to advanced screening technology. The change shortens wait times and makes the screening process less intrusive. For private jet passengers using FBOs, these improvements—combined with dedicated security lanes and border pre-clearance—streamline travel even further. Latest DHS announcements.
Finally, advanced air mobility (AAM) is on the horizon. Investment in eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft is accelerating. While widespread adoption remains years away, private aviation customers may soon be able to connect from their heliport or yacht directly to a regional hub via an electric air taxi. Jetstime is monitoring these developments and will offer AAM options when safety, range, and comfort meet our standards. Learn about AAM.
