Executive Charter Services Unveils Guaranteed Pricing Model To Rival Jet Card And Membership Programs
Flexible pricing options lower the barrier of entry for private jet travel and offers cost-effective alternatives to membership programs.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 8, 2004 -- Executive Charter Services (ECS), a
leading private jet travel company today announced a guaranteed pricing model to
compete with membership and jet card programs. ECS offers guaranteed pricing
with no long term commitments, no monthly management fees, and no up front
costs.
“Although membership and jet card programs lend a perceived level
of sophistication, we believe straight forward, guaranteed pricing is a smarter
alternative for the end user," explains Kevin Godlewski, President of Executive
Charter Services. “It's amazing to me that people are willing to hand over
$50,000 to $100,000 for a travel card that ends up costing them more per flight
hour in the long run."
Starting immediately, ECS will offer unrestricted
access and guaranteed pricing of $2,300 per hour for light-jets and $3,350 per
hour for mid-sized jets with a 2.5 hour daily minimum. Unlike other programs,
prices include Federal Excise Tax, Segment Fees, Overnights and Landing fees.
A price comparison between ECS and a leading membership program
concludes that clients who fly 25 hours in light jets will do so at a cost of
$57,500 with Executive Charter Services and $71,250 with other programs. In most
cases ECS uses the same jet network as other companies, yet the price tag is
significantly lower. Even the most discerning travelers can recognize the
benefits of a pay as you go model.
Several ECS clients--who include
A-list celebrities, athletes, political figures and businesses--will benefit
from the new guaranteed pricing model, including Mark Hampton--who uses ECS
about 50 hours annually--to jet high profile speakers to events across the
country. “It’s really the best of all worlds. We get access to world-class jets,
nationwide availability, amazing attention to detail and the price is right,”
explains Hampton.
In addition to guaranteed pricing, ECS clients receive
concierge services, frequent flyer rewards and a private travel manager at their
service 24 hours a day--services typically reserved for membership and jet card
programs.
All aircraft used by ECS have been subjected to intense
scrutiny and inspection by one of three independent aircraft-auditing firms.
Light Jets include but are not limited to Beechjet 400A, Citation Encore, Lear
35, Premier I and Citation II/SP. Mid sized jets include but are not limited to
Citation Excel, Hawker 800XP, Lear 60, Astra SPX, and Hawker 800.
Executive Charter Services (ECS) is a leading provider of private jet
charter for distinguished travelers nationwide. With access to more than 1,500
Part 135 safety audited jets, ECS has one of the quickest response times in the
industry. For more information visit www.execcharter.com or call 866.FLY.EXEC
