Alternative Flexible Solution to Meet the Needs of Private Jet Travelers From One of the World's Fastest-Growing Private Aviation Companies

Weymouth, Mass., January 24, 2007 - Sentient Jet, the leading provider of private jet membership, today announced its latest innovation, the Preferred Plus Card, adding a new membership solution to meet the needs of the world's private jet travelers.

Driven by the premise that every trip and every traveler is unique, Sentient designed the new Preferred Plus Card to meet the needs of individuals and corporate travelers who fly a substantial amount each year and who want to further reduce their hourly costs. The card provides access to jets certified by Sentient for their Preferred category, which are comparable to the U.S. fractional fleet with an average age of four years and a maximum age of ten years. With a commitment of $150,000, Members are rewarded with fixed hourly rates that are on average 6% below Sentient's TravelCard Membership rates. Hourly rates are locked in at the time of purchase for the life of the card.

"Over the past two years, Sentient Jet has nearly tripled our membership base as private jet travelers gravitate to our unique and flexible program," said Steven Hankin, Chief Executive Officer of Sentient Jet. "The Preferred Plus Card is a natural extension of our philosophy. For customers who are able to commit to a certain level of flying and who want access to jets in our Preferred category, the Preferred Plus Card presents a new option that provides the flexibility, convenience, safety and service that are Sentient hallmarks, along with additional pricing advantages."

As with TravelCard Membership, Preferred Plus Card Members will enjoy guaranteed availability with as little as ten hours notice and the flexibility of being able to select a jet in the light, mid or heavy category for each and every trip. The Preferred Plus Card is valid for one year from the date of purchase and is available immediately.

Sentient is one of the world's fastest-growing aviation companies. Preferred Plus Card Members will join current Sentient TravelCard Members in benefiting from the numerous innovations and program improvements that Sentient has introduced in the past two years. The company has continually enhanced its Membership program through partnerships with world-class organizations including Aspen/Snowmass, Pebble Beach Resorts, the PGA TOUR and the Cleveland Clinic. In addition, in 2005 Sentient created the private jet industry's first independent Safety Advisory Board. The board includes former executives from the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board and provides expert perspective as Sentient continually reviews and enhances its strong safety program.
