Air Partner has launched a new fixed transatlantic rate structure as part of its JetCard programme. The fixed rate of $15,650 per hour is now available for flights between Europe and the United States, further simplifying JetCard members' journeys between these service areas. The rate is offered for a variety of global cabin jets including the Gulfstream series, Bombardier's Global series and Dassault's Falcon series, and a discounted rate is offered for round trips.

The offering is well-suited for both existing and new JetCard members who frequently fly transatlantic routes for work, whose flying schedules can be unpredictable. The guaranteed price and flight availability provide passengers with peace of mind, knowing that any last minute changes can be catered for, hassle-free.

CEO Mark Briffa comments: “We have always seen high demand for transatlantic travel and this continues to grow. Historically, private jet charter rates on these routes have been susceptible to fluctuation due to factors such as timing and aircraft availability, so we wanted to offer our customers a guaranteed rate that they could always rely on, even in the instance of last minute travel. At Air Partner we place our customers at the heart of all that we do and we are committed to continuously creating innovative travel solutions that best serve their needs.”

The estimated charter price for London Luton to Teterboro, New Jersey is from $109,550 (one way) or $93,118 (return trip); for Paris Le Bourget to Washington Dulles, Virginia from $117,845 (one way) or $100,168 (return trip); and for Zurich to White Plains, New York from $119,253 (one way) or $101,365 (return trip). These sample transatlantic rates reflects a Global cabin jet with seating for 12 people on average.

This fixed rate is the latest feature to be added to Air Partner's JetCard product, ranked the most flexible private jet membership in both Europe and the US by independent aviation consultancy Conklin & de Decker. JetCard members enjoy fixed hourly rates, flight hours that never expire and guaranteed flight availability. When flying with Air Partner's JetCard, there are no hidden fees, and pricing includes aircraft, crew, landing fees, fuel surcharges, de-icing, taxes and catering. Benefits of transatlantic flights also include flexible cancellation rates and 15 per cent discount to the hourly rate on qualifying round trips.
