FlightTime.com has announced two new partnerships with the Airbus Integrated Company, the European consortium of aerospace companies, and PrivatAir, the Swiss-based charter operator. Under the arrangements, FlightTime.com can make joint presentations with either Airbus or PrivatAir to prospective corporate clients.

The new partnerships allow FlightTime.com to increase the number of 'deluxe-configured' aircraft that it can provide to companies interested in chartering transatlantic flights through the company's global programmes.

Chairman and ceo of FlightTime.com Jane McBride commented: "The demands for our global programmes exceed the supply of available aircraft. By partnering with Airbus and PrivatAir, we will have access to planes that best suit corporate travel needs.While Airbus and PrivatAir will supply the aircraft, FlightTime.com will provide the charter-management services, such as contracting for ground handling, fuelling, catering and customer service.

"We are focused on creating innovative solutions and travel products for the business traveller."
