Boston-based brokerage Magellan Jets has launched a private jet membership programme it calls Elevate. It comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee; rather than lock clients into a contract before they have flown a single flight, the company promises to refund a member’s remaining account within 30 days of their first flight if they are dissatisfied. 

Members can purchase hours in any of ten aircraft types, including the Phenom 300, Challenger 300, Gulfstream 450 and Sikorsky helicopters. Availability is for 365 days a year, with no black out days or peak surcharges.

“The launch of Elevate removes the red tape that has restricted the benefits and freedom of private jet travel for too long,” says president and co-founder Anthony Tivnan. “We invite our members to fly on their schedule 365 days a year, using the right aircraft for their mission and at one consistent price, without all the hidden surcharges and fees. Simplicity, reliability and flexibility is how we elevate their travel experience.”

The company claims the programme is a straight-forward and easy-to-use jet membership. The team is comprised of dedicated private aviation consultants and 24/7 live flight support and compliance staff who select aircraft from the company’s pre-selected preferred network. And Elevate members' personal information cannot be tracked; the company offers complete anonymity.

The Sikorsky helicopter option is available around the New York City area so that members can avoid city traffic across the northeast.

Magellan Jets was founded in 2008. It offers jet-specific memberships and on-demand charter services tailored by its FAA-licensed flight support team.
