“Private jet booking service PrivateFly.com is now accepting payment in bitcoin. The company, which was founded in 2007, will accept bitcoins via popular payment processor BitPay. Customers can use the company’s online platform, apps and operations team to access a global network of over 7,000 private aircraft, booking charter flights within 90 minutes. Adam Twidell, co-founder and CEO at PrivateFly, said he has followed bitcoinclosely since the beginning of 2012. The company specialises in rapid-response flight requests, so Twidell wanted a payment system to match – something that wasn’t subject to the limitations of banking hours and could be used globally.”
