For over a decade, Edgar Alacan has been an entrepreneur and executive in the private jet industry. In 2007, he left his finance career to pursue his curiosity about private travel by joining Concord Private Jet, where he discovered his talent for coordinating flight logistics and tracking budgets.

Combining his skills and passion, Mr. Alacan co-founded Jets.com in 2008 with two former colleagues. He has led the company's growth through strategic goal-setting and marketing initiatives, resulting in media recognition such as Newsweek's feature mention in 2015 and his own write-up in Industry Magazine, where he highlighted the company's competitive rates, diverse destinations, and aircraft options.

Mr. Alacan continues to prioritize client flexibility by offering various booking options, including single-fare charters and flight cards. In addition to leading Jets.com, he serves on the board of Pietro's Fight, an organization raising awareness and funds for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
