Private Jet Cards

A Private Jet Card is a pre purchase private travel program that allows you to deposit funds and secure hours in your preferred aircraft at a fixed hourly rate. With NICHOLAS AIR, you may purchase blocks of hours in a specific aircraft (BLUE Card) or make a deposit of funds to access all the aircraft in our fleet, suitable for various types of trips (RISE Card & LITE Card). Regardless of the program you choose, the option to interchange between aircraft is available, and the best part is that your funds and hours never expire. This ensures flexibility and peace of mind as you plan your travels.

The cost of your program depends on three main factors: the size of your deposit, the aircraft you choose, and the aircraft's hourly rate. Let's break it down:
BLUE Card: This option is best suited for Members who prefer flying in the same aircraft for most of their trips. Typically, BLUE Card Members join by pre-purchasing 30 or more hours in their chosen aircraft.
RISE Card: If you need different aircraft for various trip types, the RISE Card offers access to the entire fleet with no interchange rate. RISE Card Members usually join by making a deposit of $200K or more. Each time they fly, their flight costs are deducted from this deposit based on the hourly rate of the aircraft type they use.
These factors play a key role in determining the overall cost and benefits of your membership, providing you with options that best match your travel preferences and needs.

Our jet cards are designed with all types of travelers in mind. Whether you fly 15 or 120 hours per year, we can customize a program that suits your specific needs. Our dedicated personal sales representative will assist you throughout the process, making sure that all your questions about joining the NICHOLAS AIR family are answered. We are committed to providing the best possible service and creating a membership that aligns with your unique flying requirements.

The minimum daily flight duration, which includes taxi time, is 1 hour. This ensures that our Members have the flexibility to make the most of their private jet travel, even for shorter trips.

Under our calculation method, we allocate a fixed 6 minutes for departure and 6 minutes for arrival for each flight.

The notice time for booking flights varies depending on the program you choose. For the majority of RISE and BLUE Card programs, we only require 24 hours' notice for booking a flight. However, for LITE Card programs, we ask for 120 hours' notice before your desired departure time.
