Chapman Freeborn launches jet membership programme
The programme optimises on price transparency, exclusivity and convenience. It negates the need for contracts to be drawn up for every single flight taken, while also removing credit card holds and additional fees.

Chapman Freeborn has launched its premium private jet membership programme, designed for those who frequently charter private jets and granting access to over 2,500 aircraft worldwide.

The programme functions by members lodging a deposit, from which funds are deducted as travel occurs. The pricing structure is all-inclusive, and the initial deposit can be used indefinitely with no expiration date. It takes advantage of a dynamic pricing model, guaranteeing access to the best price for every journey taken.

The jet membership programme negates the need for contracts to be drawn up for every single flight taken, while also removing credit card holds and additional fees. It further streamlines the private jet charter experience, enabling users to book flights more quickly than ever before.

Members receive immediate access to a diverse selection of private jets from a fully vetted preferred operator network, dedicated advisor, 24/7 access to the Chapman Freeborn client services team and live flight tracking updates.

President Americas David McCown says: “We are delighted to bring the Chapman Freeborn jet membership programme to market. Experienced users of business jet travel understand that on demand charter is the most cost-effective way to fly private, as well as to achieve the most tailored experience.

“Private flyers are tired of paying too much for category-based cookie-cutter programmes that limit their experience with black-out dates, annual usage limits and geographic boundaries. The Chapman Freeborn jet membership programme provides an even easier means to access the most tailored, cost-effective way to fly private, anywhere in the world. The introduction of this program is one of many steps the company will be making as part of its commitment to become a leader in the private aviation market globally.”

The jet membership programme also offers members the option to take advantage of carbon offsetting services for their journeys. This will be provided on a trip-by-trip basis, enabling users to opt in at the enquiry stage and receive their quote inclusive of the carbon offsetting cost.
