Dépèche transmise le 15 mars 2012 par Business Wire

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XOJET, Inc., the leader in private aviation, today announced its latest innovation—XOJET Elite Access™—a unique guaranteed program that offers a compelling alternative to fractional jet ownership and jet card programs. XOJET Elite Access™ offers program members worry-free guaranteed access to the XOJET fleet of customized 100%-Wi-Fi-enabled Citation X and Challenger 300 jets, with as little as 12 hours notice. Breaking new ground, the program offers an unprecedented pay-as-you-fly pricing model that eliminates the need for an expensive upfront purchase commitment and offers a simple $8,500 hourly rate that includes all fees, taxes and fuel.

“We heard from our customers that they needed a simple, easy-to-understand program that offered guaranteed access to the XOJET fleet”

“We heard from our customers that they needed a simple, easy-to-understand program that offered guaranteed access to the XOJET fleet,” said Brad Stewart, President of XOJET. “We decided to make it even easier by letting them pay as they fly instead of requiring a significant upfront purchase. For mid or super-mid jet flyers accustomed to fractional ownership or jet cards, XOJET Elite Access will provide the highest level of service without the costly initial purchase, monthly management fees, unpredictable fuel surcharges, inflexible terms and residual value risk.”

Designed as a simple alternative to increasingly complicated fractional jet ownership, XOJET Elite Access offers pay-as-you-fly payment terms based on an annual commitment of 50 hours, and provides guaranteed access to XOJET’s 100%-Wi-Fi-enabled fleet of Challenger 300 and Citation X super-mid jets. Program members will also receive exclusive 24-hour access to XOJET’s dedicated team of private aviation advisors, who provide XOJET Elite Access members with world-class service and advice.

In addition, XOJET Elite Access program members will fly with the industry’s leader in operational quality. As a result of an ongoing investment and commitment to safety, reliability and operational excellence, XOJET has consistently earned the highest rankings of the leading industry-auditing organizations: WYVERN, IS-BAO and ARG/US. XOJET is the only business aviation provider to rank either #1 or #2 in all twelve ARG/US Platinum safety rating categories, and has received several FAA awards for training, process controls, scheduling and safety—including the prestigious FAA Diamond Award. XOJET is also a member of the ARG/US Advisory Board, NATA Maintenance and Air Charter Committees and the CAE Business Aviation Customer Advisory Board, and will be participating in the FAA Safety Assurance Task Force that will help define future safety standards for the private aviation industry.

XOJET Elite Access is available immediately, with certain geographic limitations. For more information, please visit www.xojet.com.
