July 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Velocity Jets Adds 2009 Hawker 900 XP
To the Growing List of Aircraft Under Management
Another Mid-Sized Option for Its JetCard Members  

Fort Lauderdale, Fla., July 21, 2009 – Velocity Jets has arranged for the management of a 2009 Hawker 900XP mid-sized jet with its FAA Part 135 partner under certificate #1JCA141M.  The jet will have a dual base in the Northeastern U.S. and South Florida and be available to the company’s charter and Velocity JetCard customers August 1st.
   “We are excited to add yet another state-of-the-art aircraft to our growing fleet of JetCard aircraft options,” said Patrick Harris, President of Velocity Jets. “The decision of the plane’s private owner to partner with us further enhances our position as the private jet company of choice for those seeking competitive and personalized aircraft management solutions.”
   The Hawker 900XP is a high-quality, mid-sized aircraft offering nonstop coast-to-coast capabilities any time of year. With a range of more than 3,000 miles, it cruises at 536 miles per hour and is certified for altitudes of up to 41,000 feet.  
   Inside, passengers will find premium comforts and benefits, including an air-show cabin management system with LCD touch screens for control of cabin lighting, temperature and entertainment.
                   Velocity Jets is a leading provider of aircraft management solutions. “Through our Part-135 partner, we have a structure that enables us to manage an aircraft out of virtually any airport in the country,” Harris said. “Through fleet bulk insurance rates, aircraft owners can save substantially on hull and liability insurance. By hedging fleet discounts, we also save them thousands of dollars per month on fuel.”  
                   The company maintains strategic alliances with international trip-planning and handling firms worldwide, as well as OEM-recommended maintenance program providers. “By leveraging our substantial volume of business, we are able to negotiate competitive rates and pass those savings on to our clients,” Harris said. “As we are one of the preeminent aircraft charter organizations in the country, the aircraft we manage gain immediate access to guaranteed revenue charter hours, which help offset monthly fixed and variable expenses for our owners.”
    In addition to aircraft management solutions, Velocity Jets also provides worldwide ad hoc charter services, JetCard membership, aircraft sales, organization of worldwide tours and air cargo.
                    The Velocity Jets JetCard program offers all of the benefits of fractional ownership without the up-front costs and long-term commitment. “Our JetCard provides superior flexibility and value compared to fractional ownership,” Harris said. “Our aircraft-interchange option offers members the added flexibility of utilizing the best aircraft based on their specific mission, be it light, mid-sized, super mid-sized or heavy aircraft.”  

Benefits of the JetCard program include:
•   No overnight fees, reposition fees or management fees
•   No blackout periods
•   No asset to purchase
•   No red tape, no fine print
•   Guaranteed one-way pricing

•   31 aircraft types to choose from
•   Transferable; anyone you designate can use the card
•   Utilize Light, Mid, Super-Mid or Large-Cabin aircraft without penalty
•   Coverage access areas includes the U.S., Hawaii and The Bahamas.    
•   No expiration date or hourly price adjustments; the hourly rates are good for as long as it takes for you to use up the balance.
