New Flight Charters Tells Customers, ``Pick Your Private Jet': Jet Charter Clients Get Their Choice of Private Airplane
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. (Business Wire EON) April 21, 2008 -- Typically with private jet companies, customers are given just one option or only a general aircraft size category. The company then decides last minute and sends the airplane most profitable for them but still within the customer's category. These are best for the charter company's profit, not necessarily best for their client or the trip at hand.
New Flight Charters presents several aircraft options for each flight, and clients can choose their own specific aircraft and amenities.
For example; a recent private charter request was a 4-day round-trip departing San Diego with stops in Chicago and Denver for ten passengers. The client preferred a large cabin jet with room to move around. The total flight time was 8.5 hours and New Flight Charters offered the following choices for the client, prices are all inclusive:
Challenger 601, $45,793
Gulfstream III, $47,230
Gulfstream IV, $56,885
Gulfstream V, $74,227
The client viewed cabin photos, dimensions and seating diagrams for each, and chose the Gulfstream IV as their personal preference of comfort and price for their trip.
"We are not like the airlines or the jet card companies, who promise passengers a plane and ask them to show up," noted New Flight Charters president Rick Colson. "Every flight is a one-time experience and we give our clients choices and customize their trip. Unlike the jet card companies, who already have someone's very large deposit in their bank, we earn our business every single flight."
Aircraft and options within a certain size category can vary widely. The midsize jet category includes both the Learjet 55 and the Hawker 800XP, however they are very different in cabin size, comfort and range.
"Private jet charter is the most elite method of travel and not inexpensive to say the least," said Rick Colson. "Those paying for it absolutely deserve to see the best options available and have their choice."
