About Melion
A private charter marketplace that works for the flyer.
Melion is a private aviation company from ELP Ventures, based in Toronto and flying worldwide. We turn every charter request into a competition between certified operators, and we let the flyer keep part of what that competition saves.
Why we built Melion
Chartering a private jet has long worked the same way: you call a broker, the broker calls a few operators, and you receive a quote with no way of knowing what the flight should cost. The price depends on who you happened to call.
Melion starts from the other side. We read the fleets near your departure and show the market price of each aircraft first. Then the operators compete for your trip, and every offer is weighed on the full cost, including positioning, the empty return and fees, not just the headline hourly rate.
When operators beat the market price, the saving is shared with you. That is the promise behind the name on every page of this site: every flight, negotiated for you.
How Melion works
Melion Members
Press Ready to fly. Your search becomes your next flight, with your preferences, documents and bookers already on file.
Melion Pricing
Certified operators within 100 km price your flight in sealed offers, then get one hour to beat the best one.
Melion Intelligence
Every offer is compared on the total trip cost and brought back as three answers: lowest price, best fit and the premium choice.
ELP GPT, our own language model
Melion is built by ELP Ventures, a company working in software development, private equity, family office and consulting services. ELP Ventures is developing ELP GPT, its own large language model, and Melion is its first home in aviation.
ELP GPT is being trained to read a charter request the way an experienced flight planner would: the passengers, the luggage and the pets, the runway lengths, the time on the ground, the preferences that never make it into a form. Its role is to help Melion Intelligence find the right aircraft, negotiate with operators and explain the best solution for each flyer on each flight.
Today, Melion Intelligence compares offers with transparent rules on total price, aircraft fit and operator standards. ELP GPT is in development and will extend those rules as it is validated; we will say so here when it is live.
What we stand for
The flyer first
Melion earns its margin only when your trip is delivered. Recommendations cover participating operators, and you always see why an offer was chosen.
Certified operators only
Melion arranges flights as an agent. Every flight is operated by a certified air carrier, named before you pay.
Plain numbers
Market price, offer, saving and your share, all in one view. Your funded balance is always kept separate from promotional credits.
Our own fleet
Melion's TBM 980 and TBM 960 are scheduled to arrive in 2027, and members will fly them first.
Based in Toronto, flying worldwide
Our team works from Toronto, with logistics in New York and ground services in Toronto and Québec. From Toronto, a light jet reaches Montréal, New York, Chicago or Muskoka in about an hour, and an ultra-long-range jet flies nonstop to London, Dubai, Tokyo or São Paulo.
Whether it is a weekend in lake country on a six-seat turboprop or a board meeting across the Atlantic, Melion works the same way: you tell us the trip, operators compete, and you decide.
