Jet membership firm XOJet has formed a corporate partnership with rideshare platform Lyft to provide “safe and efficient” transportation for XOJet pilots and other employees at the “touch of a button.” Under the alliance, the company’s pilots can use Lyft for transport to and from the airport and hotel accommodations, while the expense reimbursement process is automated, which translates to less paperwork, XOJet said.

“This new alliance is one of many programs XOJet implements for its pilots, including a fatigue management program that provides comprehensive wellness evaluations at the end of shifts to ensure the overall health and safety of its employees,” the company noted. XOJet COO Austin Schell added, "Our entire business model is based on the understanding of how important flexibility and an on-demand lifestyle are in this day and age. The partnership with Lyft enables us to provide that same level of service and convenience to our employees that we offer our clients every day."

Through the partnership, XOJet is looking into how it can expand Lyft services to its private flier clients.
