Volato, the Atlanta, Georgia-headquartered HondaJet operator, has launched Insider, a deposit-based membership programme featuring capped hourly rates when flying on its fleet of HondaJets inside or between specific zones across the country.

The programme was developed for customers who wish to take advantage of Volato's charter rates through dynamic pricing with the certainty of capped rates. The programme features three zones: Base, Plus and Max, in concentric circles surrounding designated airports across the country. The higher the deposit level, the lower the capped hourly rate will be and the more airports members can access at those capped rates.

“We wanted to create a programme that competes directly with jet cards by providing the best possible rates for our customers, while maximising operational efficiency for the fleet,” says Mike Prachar, chief operating officer at Volato, “Providing customers with highly competitive rates on our modern fleet of luxurious HondaJets within our busiest service areas is a win-win for everyone.”

Insider zones at launch are centred on San Francisco (OAK), Las Vegas (LAS), Los Angeles (VNY), Dallas (DAL), Houston (HOU), Miami (OPF), Atlanta (PDK) and New York (TEB). Insiders can fly from or to all designated airports within circles that radiate from these centres, with the Base zone extending 125 statute miles, the Plus zone extending 250 statute miles and the Max zone extending 500 statute miles from the centre of each Insider zone.

“At Volato we pride ourselves on developing innovative solutions that make it easier for our customers to take advantage of the benefits of private aviation,” states Norm Katz, executive vice president of sales at Volato. “Our Insider deposit programme provides easy draw down, great pricing and access to the best customer experience team in the industry today. It gives customers a fantastic opportunity to experience Volato. We are so confident in the value of the Volato Insider programme, that the programme is 100% refundable on any unused balance.”

Insiders can enjoy flying on Volato's modern fleet of HondaJets and fly hassle-free with deposit draw down. Insiders are not limited to flying inside or between their zones where they enjoy capped rates; they can fly anywhere across the country on Volato's HondaJet floating fleet network on any charter product offered by Volato. Insiders also are eligible for even lower pricing on Volato's discounted Daily Deals and enjoy preferred booking access to the HondaJet fleet during peak periods.

Deposits start from just $50,000 for Base and run up to $200,000 for the Max programme.
