Bombardier Flexjet and Angel Flight South Central Partner to Give the Ultimate Gift this Holiday Season DALLAS, Sept. 18, 2007 – This holiday season the gift is truly in the giving. Bombardier Flexjet, the fractional business jet ownership program of Bombardier Aerospace, and Jet Solutions LLC, the air carrier operating Flexjet 25 flights under FAA Part 135, are announcing a special edition Flexjet 25 jet card. For each Flexjet 25 jet card sold between September 15 and December 15, 2007 one hour of flight on a Bombardier aircraft will be donated to Angel Flight South Central.
Angel Flight South Central offers free air transportation for medical and humanitarian purposes. Aiming to remove the transportation burden for patients in need, Angel Flight South Central provides flight to specialized health care facilities or distant destinations across the country due to family, community or national crisis.“This is a special partnership. Angel Flight South Central relies on the exact service that Flexjet 25 provides – we exist to get patients to destinations in a safe and efficient manner, and doing that well, every time, is critical. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Flexjet for several years, and to have this increased level of commitment to our program is an honor,” remarked Jerry Dorre, Executive Director, Angel Flight South Central. Each jet card will be presented in a custom made Smythson of Bond Street for Flexjet 25 leather card case, giving special designation to this extraordinary gift. Purchasers of the jet card can select the luxurious card case in either red or green, and literature explaining the gift of airtime to Angel Flight South Central will accompany each purchase. The Flexjet 25 jet card program made its debut last year. It is the first in the jet card category to offer the most flexible, value-based pricing structure, which allows us to provide the highest level of customer service, for which the Flexjet brand is known. This year, it is with great pleasure that Flexjet and Jet Solutions LLC commit to Angel Flight South Central. We believe our clients will see the value in giving back and we hope that we can make a true impact by offering our services to some very deserving families,” remarked Sylvain Lévesque, Vice-President, marketing, Flexjet. The Flexjet 25 jet card was introduced in 2006, demonstrating a commitment to provide the ultimate flexibility for customers. The Flexjet 25 jet card offers customers the greatest choice, flexibility and benefits amongst jet cards. Card owners have access to Bombardier’s elite aircraft, and can choose from four different price levels for each aircraft based on a preset number of travel days per year – ranging from an unrestricted 365-day jet card to a 355-day, 325-day or 275-day jet card.
