Private Jet Cards

Jet Cards offer the ability to purchase hours in your preferred aircraft or deposit funds that can be used for a variety of missions, all with fixed hourly rates. They are ideal for those flying anywhere from 15-100 hours annually and desire access to the entire fleet. The NICHOLAS AIR Jet Card Programs have been designed with four distinct card options to provide more flexibility, control, and peace of mind when it comes to your private jet travel needs.

Four Flexible Jet Card Options

What defines the best jet card program? To us, it comes down to a few key factors, with the most crucial being the ability and freedom to fly according to your schedule and in the aircraft of your choice. At NICHOLAS AIR, we understand these needs and have designed four membership options that cater to the most refined set of private flyers in the country, particularly those who seek minimal upfront investment and easy access to a diverse fleet of aircraft.

Flexibility is at the heart of our Jet Card Program.

This freedom is especially valuable for those whose travel needs may vary throughout the year, whether for business trips, family vacations, or spontaneous getaways. With NICHOLAS AIR, you’re able to replenish your cards whenever needed, giving you the peace of mind that at any time, Your Jet Is Ready®.

PRIVATE JET CARDS FAQ

Challenger 300 Aerial over Fields

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.

At NICHOLAS AIR, our Members have access to a dedicated fleet of aircraft, with an average age of under five years, ensuring modern and reliable travel experiences. Our fleet includes the Phenom 100, Citation CJ3+, Phenom 300, Citation Latitude, Challenger 350 Series, and Gulfstream G600 jets. Regardless of your program, you always have the flexibility to interchange aircraft when needed. This allows you to select the most suitable jet for each trip, ensuring the utmost comfort and convenience for your travel needs.

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.
