Privé Jets Launches New Jet Card Emphasizing Transparency and Flexibility

Privé Jets, a private aviation company founded in 2007, has introduced a new Jet Card program designed to provide corporations and frequent private flyers with greater clarity and control over their private aviation purchases. The new program offers fixed hourly rates for 12 months, includes a 10-minute taxi allowance, and features de-icing and non-expiring funds.

The fixed hourly rates for the program are set at $8,882 for Midsize jets, $9,882 for Super Midsize, and $12,882 for Heavy jets. Membership requires an initial deposit of $199,882. Privé Jets states that the program's differentiating factor is its comprehensive approach to the total economics of each mission, including how flight time is calculated and which operating expenses are included.

A distinctive feature is the 10-minute fixed taxi allowance. Privé Jets claims that competing programs typically bill actual taxi time or use higher fixed allowances, and believes its structure offers clients more clarity in calculating mission costs. The program also includes de-icing, an expense that can significantly impact winter flight costs.

According to Privé Jets, the new jet card was developed based on client feedback over nearly two decades in the industry. The company aims to offer predictability and a simplified purchasing framework for frequent flyers, along with enhanced spending visibility and budgeting capabilities for corporate clients. The program also allows for flexible switching between aircraft categories based on mission requirements.

Founded in 2007, Privé Jets provides private jet charter and Jet Card solutions for corporations, executives, and private travelers. The company has received multiple industry recognitions across North and South America and the Caribbean, including repeated appearances on the Inc. 5000 list.
