Flexjet is a reckoning force in the fractional jet market today; it continues to remain one of the only fractional ownership programs whose ownership lies in the hand of an aircraft manufacturer-Bombardier.
SUMMARY:
An exotic travel experience
sans the usual problems such as endless queues
and missing baggage is what you can look forward
to with Flexjet. With a share as small as
1/16th, you can own a part of a jet in a fleet
managed by Flexjet. A special feature of Flexjet
is that it is the only fractional program to
have been accredited with the AS9100, the ISO
9000 equivalent in the aerospace industry. This
lends credence to the claim laid by the company
regarding its service and standards. Also, the
average fleet used by Flexjet is 3.5 years
old.
BENEFITS:
Versatility Plus: Whether
you are looking for your business or for your personal travel, your
needs are constantly changing. One year might see you using all the
allotted traveling hours and the subsequent year might see you using
only half the allotted quota. But don't fret over your unused hours.
Through it's offering titled 'Versatility Plus', you can realise the
value of your unused hours. All you need to do is estimate the number
of hours that will be used by you. The remaining hours will be placed
in the 'pool'. Whenever there is a requirement for additional
hours from other members, the Flexjet officials will notify you and
will deduct the hours from your account and an equivalent figure will
be credited to in the next account statement.
Flexibility: Travel
needs never remain constant. At times your business may require the
travelling of just a handful of executives, whereas sometimes, a large
delegation might be required to bag an important business deal. What
ever be the reason, the bottom line is that your requirement for
aircrafts is constantly changing. Keeping this in mind, Flexjet offers
you the option of upgrading or downgrading the size of the aircrafts
required for the travel.
Multi-aircraft scheduling: As
a corporation or a businessman, you can never tell when the need will
arise for an additional aircraft. Flexjet gives an opportunity to use
more than one aircraft. In fact, if your ownership share is high,
Flexjet permits the usage of up to five different sizes of aircrafts.
The plus point is that this option can be used even on peak travel
days. So now, you don't have to make your guests wait. Simply, contact
your Flexjet team member and viola! your aircraft will be ready for a
take-off.
Short notice period: Large corporations often use their own personal jets for meeting the
travel requirements of their executives. But at times, there can be a
shortage of airplanes. Especially if the CEO and COO have to travel on
the same time, same date but varying destinations. In such cases,
NetJets provides with "supplemental lift". This program lets
corporations to hire multiple planes in accordance with the ownership
share. This service is also helpful in situations where the pilots
belonging to the corporation are on leave or sick.
SAFETY:
Flexjet
places a high priority of selecting only experienced and fully trained
pilots. This is because the ultimate safety of the passengers rests in
the hands of the pilots. It has stringent criteria for selecting pilots
for its flights.
The critera are:
- Minimum of 2,500 hours of flight experience
- 500 hours flying multi-engine aircraft
- 500 hours of turbine powered aircraft time
- An Airline Transport Pilot Certificate
Shortage of aircraft choices is something that you will not face with Flexjet.
It has a range of aircrafts that can satisfy the needs of any
traveller. Take a pick from the Bombardier Learjet 40XR. 45XR, 60XR or
the more comfortable and spacious Bombardier Challenger 300 and 604.
If you are interested in getting top- notch services in the world of fractional jet, Flexjet can prove to be a good option.
