We are particularly pleased by multiple new deliveries, which demonstrate our ongoing commitment to new and emerging technologies so we can continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

Jet Aviation currently manages some 300 aircraft globally with 180 of those residing in the Americas. The charter fleet totals some 70 aircraft, with access to thousands more, from business liner to mid-size cabin.

Leslie Cheshier, vice president of owner and charter services in the USA, added, “As travel eases in parts of the world, we have seen a significant increase in demand for charter and aircraft flight and are pleased to confirm the addition of 11 aircraft to our charter fleet. These aircraft offer our customers even more choice about how and when to reach their destinations as we continue to serve their needs both domestically and abroad in this ever-changing climate. We strive to provide a variety of air charter solutions including ad hoc charter, block access, card access, and our new freedom access program.”

Jet Aviation’s “Freedom Access Program” allows customers to interchange between block and card access according to their needs ensuring for guaranteed availability globally. 

“It is truly the program of the future,” continues Cheshier. “Freedom Access was designed to give customers access to the open charter market and card pricing. Customers can always fall back on card pricing for one- ways, but also take advantage of great offerings in the market when available. The best part about the program is that you can use any size aircraft including helicopters and airliners if necessary.”
