A recent Robb Report article titled “Why Private-Jet Cards Are Hitting Some Turbulence” highlights some of the difficulties that private aviation providers are having in fulfilling their Jet Card programs. Several companies’ Jet Cards are still suspended.

Magellan’s Jet Cards are available now and always have been!
