Aaron Smart flies two or three times a week and prefers private jets, but he doesn’t own a plane. He has a smartphone for that. Mr. Smart, who is an owner of Manhattan’s ArtNowNY and Joseph Gross galleries, has homes in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., and New York, making for a lot of time spent on planes.

To make travel easier, and to avoid the headache of commercial flying, he often uses JetSmarter, a start-up service that, for an annual membership fee, allows him to fly on so-called empty legs, or private jets flying without passengers on their way to pick someone up.

Call it ride-hailing for the jet set.
