Private Business Jets Boats 98 Percent Retention Rate

In announcing its 2004 price guidelines, Private Business Jets (PBJ)—a corporation leading the way in on-demand, one-way private jet charters, is laying out a challenge to competing membership, fractional ownership programs and other jet charter card programs that require upfront capital from its clients.

For example, $1,875 and $2,875 are the prices for a one way and round-trip, respectively, on a Light jet traveling for a business charter. One would expect to pay $2,875 for round-trips and $3,975 for one-ways on a Midsize jet; for the Heavy jets, prices fall into the $4,275 to $6,275 range, depending on whether or not the client elects a round trip or one way flight.

When compared to competing business charter programs requiring memberships in a particular organization, flying 25 hours per year in light jets will run a Private Business Jet client approximately $62,500 as compared to the hefty standard cost of as much as $110,000 in other programs. This is a savings between 10 and 40 percent.
Fractional owners/clients can expect to save even more.

Don Smith, vice president of sales for Private Business Jets, said with enthusiasm, "We are thrilled and quite proud to be able to deliver the best value in private aviation, and our clients recognize it--our 98 percent client retention rate bears this out."

So how is Private Business Jet able to retain their client base consisting of experienced private flyers, fractional owners, membership holders and whole owners of aircraft?

The answer is simple--there are no monthly management fees, no commitments, no membership deposits and no acquisition costs. This organization has quite simply evolved beyond the concept of membership. Clients simply pay for each trip as they fly. This not only guarantees flexibility for those wishing to charter flights on an as-needed basis, but it also shows this corporation’s adaptability in a constantly changing market.

In addition to offering otherwise published lower prices, Private Business Jet is able to provide its expert service for even lower fares than the listed prices! How do they accomplish this? By the critical mass of its Part 135 safety audited network.

Also, by assuring each client exactly what the price of the flight will be beforehand, this not only enhances the experience, but it cancels the possibility of any unpleasant billing surprises after the fact.

A recent customer of Private Business Jet said it all when he commented, "Once you sort through all the hype, what you need is high quality, well maintained, and safe aircraft delivered at a fair cost. That's what Private Business Jets delivers. It's pretty simple."

With a nationwide network of more than 1,700 audited-part, 135 business jets ranging from the $40-million Gulfstream V to the $6-million Beech Jet 400A, Private Business Jets is proud to provide premium class executive aircraft charters with a response time of less than four hours. This is claim is unheard of in this business.
