Elevate from Boston-based Magellan Jets is a risk-free private jet membership with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Whether travellers need primary or supplemental lift, for a minimal initial investment they can now access five categories of aircraft all at a fixed price, with as little as six hours' notice. This includes flying multiple aircraft on any day and prices are inclusive of fuel and catering.

With the posibility of a recession in 2020, it could be said that businesses would be wise to cut back on big expenses; but instead of waiting for a financial crisis, Magellan Jets proposes that making moves now can make any organisation more agile and profitable during both growth and shrinking economic cycles.

The company suggests that it is counter-productive to cut back on private aviation travel on the basis that 42 per cent of high-value clients leave their current provider of business services when in-person engagements are cut from the schedule; when budgets are tight and economic pressure is high, prospects that were engaged in-person were twice as likely to become customers than prospects that were engaged with electronic or other telepresence; and companies that re-deployed their travel dollars into appropriately scaled and well-managed private aviation portfolios grew twice as fast post-recession as companies that had eliminated their business aviation solutions.

It claims that according to the NBAA, 'top leaders have been much more effective in running their company and promoting its continued success because of their use of business aviation. Top executives put in many more hours above the standard 40 hour work week. By using business aircraft they are able to truly maximise their productivity because an average trip on the commercial airlines takes three hours longer door-to-door than it does on a business aircraft. So, for business travel, a corporate jet membership is a huge productivity enhancer'.
