Air Partner adds VLJ and super midsize to JetCard

Air Partner is expanding its 25-hour pre-paid JetCard for private jet charter clients adding two new categories of aircraft within its European service area. The categories - Very Light Jet and Super Midsize - are also included in its new 10-hour Winter JetCard aimed primarily at the ski market.

"These two new categories coincide with the fifth year of JetCard," says sales director David Macdonald. "The selection of jets we offer is the widest available of any jet card today and it ensures our clients receive a service tailored exactly to their needs."

Air Partner is chartering more VLJs, including Mustangs and Phenom 100 and 300s, to clients on an ad hoc basis. "We are finding that people love flying in these new jets, which are proving popular with those who travel short distances in small groups. The inclusion of the VLJ on the JetCard opens up air charter to a far wider audience at a lower price point," he noted. JetCard's popularity with high net worth individuals flying increasingly for leisure use has also been a key driver in the decision to expand the jet categories, said Macdonald.

"Our clients holding US and Middle East JetCards can also enjoy using these two new categories when flying within Europe."
