Ascension Air is launching Contrails, a new personally-flown jet timeshare program featuring the new Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet from ONE Aviation Corp.

“Building on the great success of our Cirrus timeshare programs based in Atlanta and Ft. Lauderdale, our new Eclipse 550 Contrails program will bring personal jet transportation to a growing segment of aviators who want the flexibility and benefits of flying their own jet, without the worries of full jet ownership.”

Jamail Larkins, president & CEO of Ascension Air said: “Building on the great success of our Cirrus timeshare programs based in Atlanta and Ft. Lauderdale, our new Eclipse 550 Contrails program will bring personal jet transportation to a growing segment of aviators who want the flexibility and benefits of flying their own jet, without the worries of full jet ownership.”

“Our professional owner services team offers easy fleet access, on-site concierge services, professional aircraft management, a safety pilot, and streamlined scheduling,” added Larkins.

“We are excited to be working with Jamail to provide Ascension Air with the very best personal jet available.”

Alan Klapmeier, CEO of ONE Aviation said: “We are excited to be working with Jamail to provide Ascension Air with the very best personal jet available.”

“The Ascension Air Contrails program provides an excellent opportunity for many more pilots to experience the Eclipse 550’s efficiency, speed and to learn just how seamless it is to step up to jet from a piston or turboprop aircraft,” Klapmeiere added.

Ascension’s new Contrails program may include type rating training in a flight simulator at SIMCOM in Orlando, Florida or it can also be accomplished in the airplane and may double as Multi-Engine Rating training.
