Jet Aviation’s jet card charter programme is now available to customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The programme enables customers to pre-purchase charter hours at a fixed price to use on any future flight.

The card was originally launched in the US and offers charter customers a fixed rate on pre-purchased flight hours, including airport and one-time fees, irrespective of destination or seasonal fluctuations.

“We are committed to offering a seamless charter experience for all of our customers, across our network,” says Niclas von Planta, vice president flight services EMEA. “The charter market is very dynamic, based on availability, seasonality and aircraft size. The jet card takes away these variables for frequent flyers, offering an effortless experience with fixed pricing and guaranteed availability of aircraft.”

In addition to pre-purchased hours, jet card members receive guaranteed availability of aircraft and benefits on services across Jet Aviation’s global network of some 30 FBOs.

“It has been a key part of our charter offering in the US for a number of years and is very popular, with a near 100 per cent renewal rate,” adds von Planta. “Extending availability to EMEA allows even more of our customers to fly under this simple and transparent programme and benefit from our global network of complementary business aviation services.”

Jet Aviation currently manages some 300 aircraft globally and a charter fleet accessing thousands of aircraft, from business liner to mid-size cabin types.

Jet Aviation is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics with around 4,000 employees and 50 locations worldwide. Its offerings include aircraft management, aircraft sales, charter, completions, defence, FBO, maintenance and staffing.
