PrivateFly adds long-haul fixed hourly rates from the U.K., Moscow

Directional Aviation’s PrivateFly is replacing its City Pairs with fixed-hourly rates for flights from the U.K. to the U.S., Caribbean, and the Middle East

PrivateFly, part of Directional Aviation, including Flexjet, Sentient Jet, and helicopter operator Halo, is setting new fixed pricing.

The U.K.-based charter broker is adding fixed-hourly rates for long-haul flights to benefit members of its Aviator jet membership program. The jet dynamic pricing jet card launched in August.

“Our new Extended Range pricing adds to the considerable benefits available to our Aviator members and will provide enhanced booking confidence to the many who are now planning intercontinental trips in the coming months, including long-awaited travel to the U.S. or winter holidays to Dubai or the Caribbean,” said Marine Eugène, European Managing Director of PrivateFly and Flexjet.

She added, “It provides the reassurance of being able to avoid the uncertainty of open market quotes, which can vary widely in the current market conditions.”
