Second lawsuit filed against OneFlight International over $223,078 loss

Private Jet Card Comparisons reports that a lawsuit filed on 22 September in United States District Court for the District of Colorado names OneFlight International and its CEO, Ferren Rajput, alleging the jet card broker solicited a $250,000 deposit from Five-Star Audiovisual, Inc. days before pausing all flight activity on 16 September 2026.

Five-Star is seeking $223,078 and possible other damages. This is the second known lawsuit against OneFlight since it posted a notice halting operations, stating it was "pausing all flight activity for the next 30 days, or until further notice, while we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of our current operations and status."

The Five-Star account and disputed deposits

Five-Star, a Naperville, Illinois-based company, began using OneFlight in March 2023. Between March 2023 and May 2024, it deposited close to $800,000 through credit card, wire, and ACH transfers, according to the filing.

The client enrolled in OneFlight's BAJ100 Program in May 2024, paying $15,000 in initial fees and $160,000 in a non-refundable membership fee. The programme enabled it to charter 100 flight hours by paying a $2,500 annual maintenance fee. Between May 2024 and August 2025 alone, Five-Star paid $560,000, the filing states.

According to the lawsuit, OneFlight's sales staff continued soliciting Five-Star to deposit another $250,000 as recently as a week before the shutdown. The filing quotes the broker's pitch: "funds that never expire." OneFlight then ceased responding to Five-Star's inquiries about its operations and assurances regarding two upcoming flights the client had booked, the complaint alleges.

Allegations of misrepresentation

The lawsuit contends that OneFlight misrepresented its financial condition to customers and the public, claiming stable finances and "increasing revenues in the hundreds of millions" when expenses actually exceeded revenues. The filing alleges the broker "was routinely dissipating, diverting, and exhausting its customers' prepaid accounts to fund its operations and extravagant marketing endeavors, instead of protecting and preserving those funds, and that it was on the brink of insolvency and an operational shutdown."

The reporting does not disclose what OneFlight or Rajput have said in response to the allegations, nor does it say when the court will hear the case.
