THE FIRST private jet program DESIGNED for transcontinental flyers
Company continues to drive innovation that delivers value to private aviation customers
San Francisco and New York – February 3, 2011– XOJET Inc., the leader in private aviation, today announced Coast2Coast™ – the first private aviation program designed around a specific flight profile. Coast2Coast, the latest addition to XOJET’s suite of innovative offerings, rewards people who fly coast-to-coast more than three times a year.
The program offers guaranteed access to XOJETs Wi-Fi enabled fleet of Challenger 300 and Citation X super-mid jets with no peak day restrictions, ferry charges, lock-in fees or exit penalties. This risk-free and fully-guaranteed access is available at 25-40% less than any comparable fractional or card private jet programs. Coast2Coast is the first program to allows flyers to fly coast-to-coast on any of more than 85 unique routes between major metropolitan areas on the east and west coasts.
“Coast2Coast was developed in partnership with our customers. Our customers provided substantial input regarding what they needed and what is not available in the marketplace. We are fortunate that our unique business model can readily adapt to meet their needs” said Blair LaCorte, CEO of XOJET. As the industry has matured and the private aviation customers have become more sophisticated they are asking the industry for more flexible products that allows them to create a portfolio of aviation options that address their specific needs”
XOJET has been designed differently than other private aviation companies. By taking ownership of its fleet, XOJET is able to drives efficiency and utilization up to 40% greater than standard fractional or charter models. This efficiency is based on a unique asset optimization system developed by XOJET that adapts and extends many of the best practices in the industry. The XOJET system has been extended to take into account the more complex and qualitative elements of customer service. The integrated approach to optimizing both services and asset utility assures that XOJET is able to deliver the best possible service at the greatest value to our customers. This has allowed XOJET to create programs that offer unprecedented pricing without compromising service.
“Our unique combination of customer focus along with our operational flexibility and efficiency has allowed us to begin to roll out targeted products like Coast2Coast and helped us set new operational and financial performance records in 2010” said Ted Botimer, Senior Vice President of Revenue Management and Strategic Planning at XOJET. “The array of products we are able to offer gives our customers confidence that we will help them develop an aviation solution that fits their unique needs. In fact, we are becoming the trusted private aviation advisor to our customers – with over 50% now buying multiple services from us.”
Also today, XOJET announced the opening of its New York City office. Located at 2 Grand Central Station, the XOJET office is centrally located in Manhattan and is designed to better service and support the expanding XOJET New York customer base.
