But I Own a Private Jet, Why Would I Need a Jet Card Too?

That’s Simple. Jet cards provide aircraft owners access to an aircraft when theirs is not available. It is a cost effective way to bridge the gap between travel when necessary. Jet cards are an easy way to pre-purchase charter flights at a locked in price. This gives private jet owners a quick, cost effective solution when an issue arises with their jet.

Why can’t my private jet get into this airport?

This can be one of the most frustrating questions when chartering an aircraft-especially if you’ve flown into an airport before!
There are a lot of factors that go into operational decisions like whether or not an aircraft can use a specific airport. In this article, I’ll list out a few of them, explain how they can affect your flight, and hopefully shed some light on why the go/no-go decisions are made the way they are.
There’s no fuel available

This can be particularly frustrating if the airport you’d like to use is on the smaller side. Aircraft use two different types of fuel, 100LL (100 octane low lead) for small piston aircraft, and Jet-A (regular jet fuel) for turboprop and jet aircraft. A small reliever airport may have a long enough runway to operate from, but if they don’t have fuel there your jet has to carry enough fuel on the way in to get back out. Sometimes this can be remedied by adding a fuel stop, but often times it makes more sense to use a larger airport that has Jet-A available.

Why November 11th? | Veterans Day

Veterans Day is not one of those “Hallmark” holidays created to force us to buy expensive chocolates & ridiculous amounts of balloons, but an official day for us to say “Thank You” to those who have served our country! Outside our office this morning they held a Veterans Day parade to honor our vets. Different U.S. armed forces marched down the street holding our nation’s flag proudly in the air. I was standing next to an older gentleman who was contently watching as the first group of military men & women came near. You could tell immediately this day was very close to his heart. As they approached us I watched him stand a little straighter and raise his hand proudly to salute them as they walked by, not moving an inch until each one had passed. It was such a cool moment to witness on this very patriotic day. I smiled as I stared at him and quickly snapped a photo.

Shark Tank Star Robert Herjavec On Business Aviation & Magellan Jets

By Jack Olcott
Image Courtesy CrunchBase
When asked why he owns a Bombardier Challenger 604 business jet plus two Magellan Jet charter cards, entrepreneur and successful investor Robert Herjavec, star of ABC TV’s Shark Tank, related the advice given to him by a friend many years ago. Paraphrasing, Herjavec said “Any problem that you have in life that can be solved with money is really not that big. The only thing in life that we have that we cannot get back is time. I always think that the aircraft is the ultimate time machine.”
Continuing the theme that time is the key ingredient in business development, he said “We use our aircraft as business tools. They save us time. The amount of places we can be and how quickly we can be there is a real competitive advantage. There are a lot of business centers in the USA that are within an hour’s flying time. Traveling quickly to exciting situations is a great way to use a business airplane.”
He described a typical trip: He finished filming in Los Angeles at 8pm, appeared on the Katie Couric Show at 8am in New York City the next morning, lunched with customers there, traveled to Chicago for a business dinner the same day and returning to his home base in Toronto for an early morning appointment the following day. “You cannot do that in a commercial environment,” he concluded.

Survey Shows Top Reason to Use Business Jets

When it comes to private jets, generally the first visual that pops into anyone’s head is a posh, luxurious aircraft with gold fixtures, bottomless champagne and plush leather seats. But the reality is most private jets are used solely as an efficiency tool for passengers rather than a luxury accessory. According to a recent survey done by Aviation International News, 1,100 business jet passengers found that “save time” was the top reason for using a private aircraft. The second top ranked reason was “ability to use airports that airlines don’t serve”.
