The global non-ownership private jet provider is extending its partnership for a second year
Ever active in its marketing, VistaJet announced it will continue its partnership with Scuderia Ferrari for a second year as official supplier of private jet travel.
In a press release, the private jet fleet operator said, “With the ever-demanding race calendar and often only days between Grands Prix, the team faces challenging timelines. VistaJet will support the team to optimize their travel and transfer times throughout the 2020 Formula One season.”
The jet card broker has acquired the flight scheduling technology platform
Private Jet Services (PJS) Group, which earlier this month revamped its jet card program, said it has acquired The Flight Exchange (TFX), which it describes as “a cutting-edge technology platform that improves the private flight scheduling experience.”
As part of the acquisition, business aviation veteran Chris Early, TFX’s founder, has joined the executive team of PJS and vice president of sales in the Western U.S.
It represents a record number of airplanes arriving at the
conference powered by sustainable alternative jet fuels (SAJF)
A total of 23 business aircraft arrived at Geneva Airport for the annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) using alternative fuels, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) announced.
The Aircraft that participated in this first-ever EBACE SAJF Fly-In are showcased at the event’s static display. While Gulfstream flew a G450 across the Atlantic Ocean in 2011, the focus comes as U.S. politicians have stepped up rhetoric about aviation’s impact on the economy.
Twenty-three business aircraft that arrived powered by sustainable, alternative fuels will be on display at EBACE this week in Geneva, Switzerland.
“Today, it is more evident than ever how unified our
industry is in working toward the goal of continually reducing emissions through
innovation,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “Business aviation has always
led the way in promoting technologies that advance the sustainability of
flight, and it is appropriate that we highlight our focus in this area through
this record-setting fly-in.”
The number of jet card providers has more than doubled in the past decade, however, they’re not for everyone
Over 70% of subscribers to Private Jet Card Comparisons have more than one private aviation solution, with over 40% combining jet cards and on-demand charter. In other words, a jet card can be a valuable tool in your aviation portfolio, not necessarily the only one.
Who shouldn’t buy a jet card?
That said, jet cards are not for everyone, so let’s take a look at private aviation users who might do well without using jet cards.
The Netflix style all-you-can-fly by-the-seat private flight membership seller had launched flights in Europe last year
Surf Air last week has retreated from Europe. It comes less than 18 months after it launched flights with a single Embraer Phenom 300 and the promise of additional aircraft, including the Pilatus PC-12. As part of the launch, Surf Air had recruited the former chairman of the British Airways – American Airlines transatlantic alliance Simon Talling-Smith and had enlisted Flairjet, the U.K. operator owned by Directional Aviation to operate its Phenom.
