Verijet Growth
The fast-growing, very light jet operator took off in 2020 and, by 2022, was the 30th-largest charter/fractional provider in the U.S.
Kane envisioned expanding Verijet with hundreds of single-engine Cirrus SF50 jets.
He quickly expanded from a service area in Florida and the Southeastern U.S. to the West Coast, Texas, and the Northeast.
Hourly rates started at just $3,000.
By the end of 2023, Verijet had moved to the 13th spot.
At the same time, he ran into legal and boardroom headwinds.
Kane briefly exited in 2023 only to return months later.
Current FAA data show that as of mid-September, Verijet had three Cirrus jets on its charter certificate.
However, FlightAware shows that only one of the three SF50s had flown in the past three months.
N35VJ last flew on Aug. 8, 2025, from Charlotte/Monroe Executive Airport in North Carolina to Kissimmee Gateway Airport in Florida.
At its peak, the company operated approximately 20 of the small jets.
