PRIVATE jet provider Air Partner has added a third service area to its JetCard product and unveiled a flexible jet card scheme for travel within the Middle East at the Business Travel Show in Dubai.
The launch of the new Air Partner Middle East JetCard follows last year’s successful introduction of the company’s European and Continental US service area cards to GCC-originating travellers flying within these continents.
The Middle East JetCard is aimed at local business and leisure travellers wishing to fly within their home region (many have already purchased one of Air Partner’s other JetCards) and at overseas visitors to the Middle East (including European and US JetCard holders) who need or want to undertake multi-centre trips.
The Air Partner Middle East JetCard promises fixed-price aircraft availability guaranteed at 48 hours’ notice. Competitive prices are fully inclusive with no ferry costs and no fuel or airport surcharges. Aircraft cabin upgrades or downgrades are permitted, there are no peak day restrictions, return trips qualify for a 15-per-cent discount, unused airtime can be refunded and flight credit never expires.
Three aircraft cabin sizes are available in the Middle East: midsize jets for up to seven passengers at $230,000 ($9,200 an hour), large cabin aircraft for up to 10 people at $358,750 ($14,350 an hour) and global jets capable of taking 14 passengers for $487,500 ($19,500 an hour). The long-established European JetCard offers these aircraft plus very-light, light and super-midsize jets.
