7/28/2011 - CitationAir is offering customers purchasing a new Jet Card a chance to take advantage of the sunsetting of the FAA legislation which provided for the collection of the 7.5 percent Federal Excise Tax (FET) and other taxes. If customers purchase a minimum of $100,000 on a new, non-refundable 24 month Jet Card, all flying will be FET-free for up to two years.

The FET, which funds the Federal Aviation Administration, expired July 22, 2011, and has not been reinstated by Congress, effectively providing a 7.5 percent discount on purchases for a limited time. Whether or not FET is reestablished or is collected for travel occurring after its enactment, CitationAir is guaranteeing to the customer FET-free flying for up to 24 months.

“The chance to save, in effect, 7.5 percent on flying with an unparalleled, first-class private aviation company is a can’t-miss opportunity for all people interested in private jet travel,” CitationAir CEO Steve O’Neill said. “We are thrilled to be able to provide our customers – new and existing – the ability to take advantage of this unique opportunity.”

Significant volume discounts are also available for larger volume commitments. All FET-free flying applies only to a new Jet Card for which payment is received before Congress reinstates the 7.5 percent FET, which can happen at any time.
