JetSuite unveils All-You-Can-Private-Jet

By Benet Wilson

Long Beach, Calif.-based private jet charter operator JetSuite on Oct. 29 unveiled an All-You-Can-Private-Jet product via its new DayCard.

Under the new program, JetSuite is offering 10- and 25-day cards - as opposed to hours - flying Embraer Phenom 100 jets, founder and CEO Alex Wilcox said. The cards are priced at $35,000 and $75,000, respectively. A Los Angeles-Las Vegas-San Francisco-Los Angeles flight will cost $7,000 on JetSuite, Wilcox said. "With us, the more you fly, the more you save," he added.

The Phenom 100 is the right size aircraft for many types of trips, Wilcox said. "According to NBAA and others, 70 percent of domestic private jet trips are less than 800 miles, with two or three passengers aboard," he observed.

JetSuite has 60 Phenom 100s on order, Wilcox said. "We're operating two aircraft now and will have seven in the fleet by the end of the year," he said.
