Because private aviation provider Magellan Jets has seen a large segment of private fliers flock to its business model and programmes, the Boston, Massachusetts-based company has launched its 15-hour jet card, introducing its service and guest experience at an introductory level. This new offering gives potential jet card owners a higher level of certainty, reliability and service in their private flying at a smaller investment than the industry-standard 25-hour card.

The move follows the overwhelming success of Magellan's spring 15-hour jet card summer promotion. Clients seized the opportunity to lock in jet card ownership benefits like guaranteed backup and recovery and 365-day access with Magellan's lowest-commitment offering yet; in response to that demand, Magellan has created a permanent 15-hour jet card.

“We've seen tremendous interest in the 15-hour card from customers who seek the stability and peace of mind that comes with jet card ownership but also desire a lower level of commitment,” explains Magellan Jets president and co-founder Anthony Tivnan. “The 15-hour card is the perfect introduction to the world of jet card ownership for discerning private fliers, corporate flight departments or aircraft owners seeking supplemental lift. It's a great way for them to access the upper echelon of private aviation and feel the Magellan Jets difference, either as they acquaint themselves with this level of service for the first time or as they re-evaluate their existing providers and explore what the rest of the market has to offer.”

Magellan guests can now choose the 15-hour option on any of the company's eight jet card offering; in addition to offering cabin category cards, the 15-hour jet card is also available in its popular aircraft-specific lineup, featuring the Embraer Phenom 300, Hawker 800XP, Bombardier Challenger 300/350 and Gulfstream 450/550.

The 15-hour jet card features a nine-month rate lock, and guests can use the introductory card to travel between the entire contiguous United States and The Bahamas.
