 June 04, 2008 – New York, NY – Marquis JetSM , the leader in private jet cards, was recognized for the fifth consecutive year as the "Best Jet Card Program: Fractional" by Robb Report in its 20th annual June “Best of the Best” issue. The Marquis Jet Card program was awarded the top honor based on the quality and ease of Marquis Jet Card ownership resulting from Marquis Jet’s exclusive access with NetJets® and the highly attractive value-added benefits available to Marquis Jet Card Owners.
As stated in Robb Report, Marquis Jet founder and CEO Kenny Dichter explains a key reason why the company remains the magazine's number one choice: "We provide personal service to our Card Owners. We don’t even see ourselves as an aviation company; we're a hospitality company. When you buy a Marquis (Jet) Card, we’re going to learn everything about you…We're going to give you a completely customized experience." Marquis Jet's personal service has helped the company experience rapid growth and ongoing success since it was founded in 2001. Today, with about 4,000 active Card Owners, Dichter reports that the company’s customer retention rate exceeds 90 percent. Dichter says the Marquis Jet Card, sold in 25-hour increments of occupied hourly flight time, "keeps things simple" and "represents enough of a commitment from the Card Owner that we can make a strong service commitment back." Michael Schulze of Robb Report cites several Marquis Jet exclusive program benefits, including: - Access to 10 different jet types in the NetJets fleet, ranging from the Cessna Citation V Ultra to the Gulfstream 450
- Combination Cards that provide 12.5 hours of flight time in two different NetJets aircraft types
- Elimination of ferry fees (a benefit passed on to Card Owners through its exclusive alliance with NetJets)
- Flights available in as little as 10 hours of notice
- Value-added benefits from Marquis Jet’s alliance partners, including Mayo Clinic, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Ermenegildo Zegna, Judith Ripka and Exclusive Resorts, to name a few
