Question 1

What is a Jet Card?

Accepted Answer

A Private Jet Card allows you to deposit a set amount of funds to secure hours in your preferred aircraft at a fixed hourly rate. Depending on your preferences, 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.

Question 2

How much does a Jet Card cost?

Accepted Answer

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, and each time they fly, their flight costs are deducted from this deposit based on the aircraft type they use.
These factors play a key role in determining the overall cost and benefits of your Jet Card Membership, providing you with options that best match your travel preferences and needs.
