OWN THE JET

In this episode of Own The Jet, Kaye Gitibin, CEO of Go Rentals, shares how he and his brother built a company with just seven cars and a vision to deliver a level of service the rental car industry had never seen before.
Today, Go Rentals is the only major car rental company focused exclusively on private aviation, luxury hotels, and high-net-worth travelers. Kaye explains how understanding clients, earning trust, and building meaningful relationships helped transform a small startup into a nationwide brand serving private aviation's most demanding customers.

We discuss hospitality, service culture, leadership, customer experience, and why relationships continue to be one of the most valuable assets in business aviation.

For anyone interested in private aviation, entrepreneurship, luxury service, or building a customer-first company, this episode offers valuable lessons from a leader who has spent more than three decades focused on earning trust.

Jason Spoor
I’m a commercial pilot and aviation executive with over 25 years of experience in corporate aviation, aircraft management, and brokerage. I founded Aspen Aero Group to bring transparency and real expertise to an industry often dominated by transactional approaches. Our mission is to offer clients a trusted, consultative experience—rooted in real-world operational knowledge—so they get the right aircraft for their specific mission and long-term goals. Over my career, I’ve led aviation operations at companies like Google, where I managed a fleet of executive aircraft and developed pilot training and safety programs. I’ve also worked with organizations including Boeing, Stryker Corporation, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, advising on aviation strategy, operations, and acquisitions. Having been responsible for both private aircraft and complex corporate fleets, I bring a unique, hands-on perspective to ownership and operations. I understand the real costs, risks, and rewards of aircraft ownership—and I help clients make informed, strategic investment decisions. I believe aircraft ownership isn’t just a luxury—it’s a strategic asset. My focus is on building long-term relationships and guiding clients through acquisitions, operations, and management with clarity, confidence, and integrity. 🔹 Aircraft Acquisitions & Sales 🔹 Fleet Management & Optimization 🔹 Aviation Consulting & Advisory 🔹 Safety & Training Programs 🔹 High-Net-Worth & Corporate Aviation Strategy Let’s connect—whether you’re exploring ownership, rethinking your current aircraft, or building a smarter aviation strategy.
