CLEVELAND (January 15, 2008) Flight Options, a leading provider of private-jet travel services, announced today that the company has signed a Citation X super mid-size aircraft to its best-in-class managed fleet.

The Citation X can carry up to 8 passengers and has a maximum range of 3,200 nautical miles. The aircraft is the fastest civilian private jet available today with a maximum speed of 605 mph.

This is the fifth aircraft to join Flight Options' rapidly expanding managed fleet and the first to be brought on through Flight Options' traditional Turnkey Aircraft Management (TAM) program.

Aircraft owners who take advantage of the TAM program, or Fractional Interchange Management (FIM) program, enjoy many benefits from Flight Options' experience as a large-scale fleet operator.

"Both of our management programs offer an unparalleled combination of management services, fleet access and revenue generation," said Dan Lucey, general manager of aircraft management at Flight Options. "Our large customer base and unique ability to forecast demand allow us to maximize the return we deliver to our managed aircraft owners."

Flight Options' Aircraft Management Services are available to owners of Beechjet 400/Hawker 400XP, Hawker 800/850XP, Citation X, Challenger, Gulfstream IV and Legacy aircraft. Owners who take advantage of these services gain access to the company's 130 aircraft fleet.
