Flight Option’s Jet Membership Club has signed its 100th member and announced that the programme will soon offer the Nextant 400XT for its members.
The membership milestone has been reached within 12 months of the programme’s launch. Flight Options also announced that the programme will now provide access to the Nextant 400XT business jet in addition to the Embraer Phenom 300.
“The Jet Membership Club’s rapid growth in a very short period of time, and our clients’ positive reception to the program’s flexibility and value, has prompted us to expand the offering beyond the Phenom 300 to another equally revolutionary aircraft, the Nextant 400XT,” said Michael J. Silvestro, CEO. “We set our sights on becoming the world’s largest Phenom 300 operator, which is exactly what we are today. Like the Phenom 300, the 400XT offers our members one of the industry’s most capable and efficient aircraft, resulting in an unrivaled value proposition. In a very short period, the 400XT has become an important differentiator for us.”
The Jet Membership Club programme gives members access to new-technology aircraft, including the Phenom 300 and the Nextant 400XT, without asset purchase or monthly management fees.
“The Jet Membership Club is the perfect solution for our needs,” said Jerry and Kathy Mohr, who are among the program’s first 100 members. “The program is the only one that offers us access to the Phenom 300, an aircraft that meets our short and longer-range flights, for a three-year period, without having to own one outright or purchase an actual ownership share in the plane. The Jet Membership Club not only makes sense financially but also provides us with flexibility, predictability and simplicity. It’s the perfect mix of programs for our needs.”
Kenneth Ricci, principal of Directional Aviation Capital and chairman of Flight Options, said, “We are committed to providing our clients with smart, cost-effective ways to access the latest advances in private aviation travel. By expanding the Jet Membership Club to include the Nextant 400XT, we are continuing to offer affordable access to the industry’s most advanced technology. Last year, for the second year in a row, Flight Options accepted delivery of more new aircraft than any other private aviation company, and that commitment to our customers, through investments in innovative aircraft and technologies, is among the things that differentiate us from our competitors.”
