Jet Cards

A Private Jet Card offers our Members the ability to deposit a set amount of funds to secure hours in a desired aircraft at a fixed hourly rate. You have the option to purchase blocks of hours in a specific aircraft (BLUE Card) or make a deposit of funds that can be used to access all the aircraft in our fleet if your travels require a variety of trip types (RISE Card & LITE Card). Regardless of the program type, interchange between aircraft is an available option, and your funds and hours never expire.

The largest factors that determine the cost of your program are the size of your deposit, the aircraft selection, and the aircraft's hourly rate. For example, our BLUE Card program is best suited for Members flying in the same aircraft for many of their trips. The RISE Card program allows for more interchangeability if you need different aircraft for multiple trip types. A BLUE Card Member typically joins by pre-purchasing 30 or more hours in their selected aircraft. A RISE Card Member typically joins by depositing $200K or more, and their flight costs are deducted from this amount each time they fly, based on their aircraft type.

With three jet card options, our programs are designed with all types of private flyers in mind. If you find yourself flying anywhere from 15 to 120 hours per year, we can certainly tailor a program to your specific needs. Your personal sales representative will also be able to answer any questions you may have about joining the NICHOLAS AIR family.

The NICHOLAS AIR service area includes the Continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. With access to over 9,000 airports in the U.S. and many more in our other service areas, you enjoy the flexibility of landing that much closer to your destination.

NICHOLAS AIR has a dedicated fleet of aircraft for our Jet Card Programs that has an average aircraft age of under five years. Our fleet consists of the Phenom 100, Citation CJ3, Phenom 300, Citation Latitude, and Challenger 300 Series jets. Additionally, no matter what program you choose, you have the option to interchange aircraft when needed.

Unlike other private aviation providers, neither your hours nor your deposit will ever expire. Some restrictions may apply, and your Personal Account Manager will always be available to answer any questions you may have about the remaining funds in your account.

The daily minimum is 1 hour, inclusive of taxi time.

Taxi time is calculated at a flat 6 minutes on departure and 6 minutes on arrival for each flight.

Notice time differs from program to program, but for the majority of RISE and BLUE Card programs, we require only 24 hours’ notice. For LITE Card programs, we require 120 hours’ notice.
