Flexjet launches corporate supplement

Oct. 20, 2009, Dallas – Armed with a recently expanded portfolio of services and backed by a century of aviation expertise, Flexjet – the fractional jet ownership company of Bombardier – is raising the bar on corporate lift options. Flexjet’s unique position in the market  offering everything from whole aircraft management to fractional jet ownership, jet cards and charter services  enables the company to create truly customized solutions for the varied needs of corporate flight departments.

Due to the changing marketplace, flight departments now face the challenge of procuring cost effective back-up lift without compromising their standards and policy requirements. Given the current scrutiny regarding the use of company aircraft, Flexjet  provides a compliant lift solution that can be solely sourced via the flight department. Understanding that corporate flight departments require a trusted aviation advisor, Flexjet is reaching out to provide support as their expert partner.

“Corporate flight departments are particularly discerning when choosing suppliers they use for backup lift and are looking for providers who can offer multiple solutions,” said Fred Reid, President, Flexjet . “With Flexjet’s  newly enhanced continuum of services, we are the only business aviation company ready to meet their challenges with a complete set of customizable back-up lift options.”

Flexjet’s  unmatched program flexibility, end-to-end solutions and exceptional levels of personalization are more relevant than ever for flight departments. For example, companies that are forced to downsize or plan to evaluate their appropriate fleet mix can take advantage of Flexjet’s  Walk Away Lease program, which provides many of the benefits that come with fractional ownership but with the option to exit the program with just a 90-day notice. Additionally, the Flexjet 25*  Jet Card program – operated by Jet Solutions – features a combination card. This unique jet card offers owners the benefit of purchasing 50 percent of their total hours in one aircraft type and 50 percent of the remaining hours in another aircraft type.

Other benefits include:

• The newest aircraft in the fractional industry, averaging less than three years in age and comprised exclusively of high-performance Bombardier   Learjet and Challenger aircraft.
• Flexjet’s parent company Bombardier is the world’s largest business aviation manufacturer with more than a century of aviation leadership.
• Flexjet’s exclusive scheduling system makes it an industry leader in operational efficiency, providing a 95 percent guarantee that owners will fly exclusively on Flexjet’s renowned fleet of Bombardier aircraft.

For those attending the National Business Aviation Association’s 62nd Annual Meeting & Convention, Flexjet will be consulting with flight departments on how to best optimize their specific air travel solution set. The company will also be giving away a four-hour demonstration flight in a Challenger 300 at its booth. Anyone with a qualifying title – including Chief Pilot, Director of Aviation, Director of Maintenance or Chief Dispatcher – is eligible to enter the drawing after meeting with an on-site representative. The winner will be selected on Oct. 22, 2009, and need not be present to win.
