» more Western Aviation news
The announcement came at the European Business Aviation Show (EBACE) 2008, held in Geneva in May. EBACE is the flagship forum for the business aviation community to find products and services from the world's top vendors.
Western Aviation and Hawker BeechCraft Corporation signed the LOI to purchase this Hawker 4000 private jet during the 8th Annual EBACE event.
Mr. A.J. Kamal, Senior GM for Western Aviation said,
'The Hawker 4000 is one of the most advanced and luxurious super midsized business jets in the world. The addition of this Hawker 4000 in addition to the existing Hawker 900XP will give us additional capacity and flexibility to meet the ever growing demand which we have for private jets in the region.'
'Since the Middle East market is well known for its hunger for large cabin jets, this Hawker 4000 with the largest cabin in its class, a full six-foot high stand-up cabin from front to back can satisfy the demands of business executives or high-net worth individuals who prefer flying spacey jets even for short duration flights of an hour or so,' adds Mr. Fairoz Assistant GM for Western Aviation.
'The Hawker 4000, with its sophisticated composite fuselage, supercritical wing, powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada FADEC-controlled engines and state-of-the-art Honeywell Primus EPIC avionics, simplifies the lives of busy executives and helps maximize their productivity. With an outstanding balance of speed, efficiency, comfort, responsiveness and 3,280-nautical-mile range, the Hawker 4000 serves as the indispensable business tool, getting them wherever they need to be, whenever they need to be there,' comments Mr. Ihsan Deeb, Business Development Manager for Western Aviation.
The extensive selection of fine fabrics, leathers and woods as well as advanced Collins Airshow entertainment electronics makes it a quiet, comfortable environment ideally suited for business flights (flying board room) or leisure flying with a relaxed environment.
Western Aviation's Hawker 4000 is expected to arrive in Dubai during the second quarter of 2009, a period when business aviation is expected to boom in the Middle East.

Luxury Air Jets Meets and Greets at the Rainbow Room
Luxury Air Jets joined NYCBTA on October 12th at the luxurious Rainbow Room on top of NYC Rockefeller Plaza to meet with some of the most prominent folks in the business travel industry.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 26, 2007 – Luxury Air Jets joined NYCBTA at the luxurious Rainbow Room on top of NYC Rockefeller Plaza to meet with some of the most prominent folks in the business travel industry. The discussions covered a full array of business and corporate travel issues such as homeland security, international trade, and technology. As expected, all the speakers touched upon the issue of private jet charter. Peter Greeenberg – travel editor for NBC's The Today Show, spoke over lunch and moderated the final discussion. Mr. Greenberg agreed that in many cases there is an economic justification for using private jets, especially if flying multiple executives together. The taxi service, he said, is a good idea. David Neeleman - founder and Chairman of JetBlue Airways, shared his thoughts and opinions around the rules and regulations governing the nation's air transportation industry. Mr. Neeleman stressed the fact that a lot of the over crowding of the runways in New York City is caused by private jets. He did not offer a solution but just stated a fact. NY Assemblyman Michael Gianaris who was part of the “Airline Passengers’ Bill of Rights,” in August of this year, spoke about the groundbreaking legislation and how New York is dealing with the intolerable delays at its airports, suggesting that it is not surprising that more and more people look for private aviation as a solution. C. Stewart Verdery Jr who served as the first assistant secretary for policy and planning at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), following his unanimous confirmation by the U.S. Senate, discussed legislation affecting the business traveler and his current work of delivering public policy results in business travel. Mr. Verdery emphasized the urgency of arriving on time when traveling on business and how private aviation is better at it. Bill DeCota - Port Authority Director of Airports discussed his responsibility for Kennedy, Newark and LaGuardia airports and the $15 billion public-private redevelopment programs and initiatives presently underway at these airports. Mr. DeCota said that one of the reasons people pursue private aviation is because today private jets receive equal “landing opportunities” on the runways. “This is good news to our industry” says Rodney Kadymir, Luxury Air Jets Managing Director.

SENTIENT JET HOLDINGS TO SELL JET MEMBERSHIP, RETAIL CHARTER BROKERAGE AND FUEL MANAGEMENT BUSINESS UNITS TO MACQUARIE GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES PARTNERS
* Agreement Will Separate Sentient Jet Holdings Into Two Standalone Companies
* Former Sentient CEO, Steven Hankin, To Lead New, Macquarie-Owned Company, which will retain the Sentient brand name
WEYMOUTH, MASS, August 13, 2008 - Sentient Jet Holdings announced today it is separating into two standalone companies. The aircraft management and charter operations, technical services and FBO business units will form one company and the jet membership, retail charter brokerage and fuel management business units will form the second company. As part of the split, Macquarie Global Opportunities Partners (MGOP) has entered into an agreement to acquire the jet membership, retail charter brokerage and fuel management businesses, which will retain the Sentient brand name. The transaction is expected to close in late August. Terms were not disclosed.
Gregory Campbell, Chairman and CEO of Sentient Jet Holdings, commented: "Following a period of sustained and remarkable growth across all of our businesses, the Board of Managers and I concluded that the operating and capital structure of the jet membership, retail charter brokerage and fuel management programs was better suited as a separate, standalone company. In choosing to sell these three businesses as a package to Macquarie, combined with the recent equity investment from our current investor group, we are ensuring the long-term success of each of our remaining businesses. We look forward to continuing the growth of our industry-leading Aircraft Management and Charter Operations Division as well as our Fixed Base Operations and Technical Services business."
MGOP will establish a new company for the acquired business units which will be led by Steven Hankin, the former CEO of Sentient Jet Holdings. "After reviewing a range of strategic alternatives, we are confident that partnering with MGOP and Macquarie, a world-class investment firm with significant experience across the aviation sector and access to capital, is a natural fit,� said Hankin. �With the sponsorship of Macquarie Global Opportunities Partners, this new company will be well capitalized and well positioned to continue building industry-leading jet membership, retail charter brokerage and fuel management programs under the Sentient brand."
Sentient Jet Membership currently has nearly 3,500 active members and continues to be the most flexible approach to private jet travel available in the market today. The Sentient fuel management business is a leading national volume aggregator and full service fuel management program for aircraft owners and operators and the Sentient retail charter brokerage business has rapidly emerged as one of the largest retail charter brokerage programs in the country.
Michael Cook, Senior Managing Director of MGOP, said, "We are excited to be acquiring Sentient's jet membership, retail charter brokerage and fuel management company. Each of these business units has a strong track record of profitable growth. We are confident that the experienced management team and employees within these businesses, led by former Sentient CEO Steven Hankin, will be ideally positioned to manage the new company going forward. Under our ownership, Sentient will continue its focus on quality, safety and exceptional service as well as leveraging its proprietary systems that make it a leader in its industry."
Sentient Jet Holdings has previously announced the combination of all Aircraft Management and Charter Operations into a single Division with industry veteran Jake Cartwright serving as President and CEO. This division will be rebranded upon closing. When the planned consolidation of operating certificates is completed in November 2008, there will be nearly 300 aircraft under management, more than 200 of which will be available for charter. The two companies will continue to work together in number of areas, including access to charter flights for Sentient Membership and Charter clientele and the Sentient fuel business will provide comprehensive fuel management and purchasing programs for the Aircraft Management Division.

New Technical Advisor to Assist in Expansion, Development of Private Jet Sales Division
Jet Advisors aims to increase sales, expand services with the help of Jim Milardo. Company expects private jet sales to be top priority in 2007.
Broomfield, CO. January 2, 2007 – Jet Advisors announced that Jim Milardo, experienced in the fields of aircraft management and maintenance, will assist their staff in the coming year. This addition to their already growing staff is part of a plan to increase their private jet sales in the coming year.
The company has already implemented plans to increase their exposure in the private jet sales and acquisition sector. Many of these plans were the result of the combined efforts of Jet Advisors and its increasing number of partners in the private jet sales industry. Actions of the past year include a new online marketing strategy and the addition of several new members to the Jet Advisors staff. The company also recently created an online resource for current and potential private aircraft owners, a website that allows visitors to research and compare various corporate aircraft. Almost all actions were preceded by consultation with industry experts who have experience in the field of private jet sales and management.
Mr. Milardo will likely help in a similar capacity, by contributing ideas and creating business strategies for the upcoming year. His career has centered around private jet management and maintenance, both areas which Jet Advisors will have to pay more attention to as their private jet sales increase.
The acquisition or sale of a private jet is a complicated process in which trusted advice is key. Mechanics must complete a pre-purchase inspection of each aircraft before a sale price can be negotiated. The results of a mechanic’s inspection can reduce a jet’s sale price by millions if significant damage is found. After the purchase of a jet, mechanics are needed on an ongoing basis to conduct required inspections and repairs.
Mr. Milardo has worked as a Director of Maintenance for a wide variety of corporate aircraft and has personally performed maintenance on several different corporate jets. He is familiar with the issues that arise in private jet management and is expected to be of much help to Jet Advisors’ private jet sales and management divisions.
For more information about the Mr. Milardo’s position, or about private jet sales and acquisitions, call the Jet Advisors staff or visit www.jetadvisors.com.
About Jet Advisors:
Jet Advisors assists companies and high net worth individual with their private aircraft transactions, operations, and management. They are based in Broomfield, Colorado and routinely handle private jet sales and acquisitions, negotiate charter card agreements, and provide invoice auditing services. With one hundred years of combined industry experience and hundreds of aircraft transactions , Jet Advisors is able to provide accurate and objective information about all aspects of private jet sales and ownership.

Age of Affordable Private Jet Travel Launches With Jumpjet
Jumpjet, the first company to offer a way to fly in a private jet for less than the price of most airline tickets, is now enrolling founding members. Launching service across the United States on May 29, 2007, Jumpjet (www.Jumpjet.com) will offer a breakthrough new option for commercial airline travelers who were previously locked out of the private aviation experience.
Jumpjet members who join before May 1, 2007 will receive a bonus month of private jet travel at no additional cost. Guests and pets always fly free with Jumpjet members aboard a fleet of private jets that includes Citation, Challenger, Embraer, Falcon, Lear, Gulfstream, Hawker, and Boeing Business jets. Corporate memberships are also available.
Prior to the arrival of Jumpjet, private jet travel was the exclusive domain of travelers able to invest tens of thousands to millions of dollars in jet ownership, charter flights or private jet card programs. By leveraging the power of numbers via a membership model and modest advance reservation requirements, Jumpjet will reduce the cost of flying in a private jet to affordable levels. Flights are available to members on a first-come, first-served priority reservation basis from any of Jumpjet's 12 originating cities to nearly any of the more than 5,000 jet-capable private aviation facilities located across the continental U.S.
Today no other "competitive" private jet option comes close to Jumpjet's pricing, whether it's fractional jet ownership, stored-value jet cards, or direct charter. The difference is tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. And Jumpjet's per-flight cost, when a member takes all or most of the plan's available flights, is competitive with first-class, business and even full-fare coach airline fares.
"Jumpjet makes flying private truly affordable for the first time," said Will Ashcroft, Jumpjet founder and CEO. "Once our members experience the efficiencies and pleasures of private jet travel, there will be no looking back.
"What we're offering is more than an attractive alternative to commercial airline cattle calls and inflight horrors -- it's an entirely new paradigm for air transportation," Ashcroft added.
More than 98 percent of the U.S. population lives within 30 minutes of a private aviation airport (only about 50 hub airports are served by commercial airlines). Jumpjet members will be able to fly to and from jet-capable private airports to get closer to where they want to go, safely and in extraordinary comfort and style, for less than they would normally pay to fly commercially.
Jumpjet membership has a tiered system -- Silver, Gold and Platinum -- with fees that correspond to increasing maximum numbers of flights per month and guest allowances. Silver and Gold members must book flights at least 14 days in advance and Platinum members must book flights at least five days in advance. Reservations are first-come, first-served; Jumpjet members can place a maximum of one reservation per 24-hour period and may have a maximum of two reservations in the system at any given time.
Jumpjet members may fly from any of Jumpjet's originating cities (once activated) to nearly any jet-capable private aviation airport in the continental United States. At launch, Jumpjet's 12 originating cities are: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles/Orange County, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. Coast to coast flights are available exclusively to Platinum level members and require an additional monthly fee.
Monthly subscriptions start at $1,500 for Silver members, $2,800 for Gold members, and $4,000 for Platinum members. A one-time administrative fee of $500 is due at sign-up. Silver members are entitled to up to two round-trip flights per month; Gold members get up to three round trips per month; and Platinum members can take up to four round trips per month.
Guests and pets always fly free on Jumpjet, with ascending numbers of guest passes per membership level. Jumpjet's founding members -- the first 100 members who sign up in each Jumpjet originating city -- will also enjoy exclusive specials, acknowledgement and amenities for the duration of their membership.
Jumpjet's launch comes at a time when private aviation's advantages over commercial airline transportation are unprecedented in quality and scope. Jumpjet will utilize the private jet aircraft services of Private Flight Group, a premier charter company certified to meet or exceed Aviation Research Group U.S. (ARG/US) requirements, the world's highest safety standards. Jumpjet is an authorized agent for Private Flight Group with operational headquarters in White Plains, New York.

Lufthansa Private Jet from success to success
Successful year 2006 - Agreement with NetJets prolonged for further five years
25.01.07
Lufthansa Private Jet, the exclusive top-end service for individual and flexible air travel, has written another chapter in its success story. In 2006, the number of flights operated in this segment rose by 13 per cent. Up to ten private aircraft were booked daily during the year. The highest demand accounting for about 60 per cent of the total came from point-to-point connections to around 1,000 destinations in Europe and the Russian Federation. But the number of private jet flights offered in combination with long-haul services through the Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich hubs has also increased significantly since mid-2006. Customer satisfaction scoring over 90 per cent shows how positively customers are responding to the Lufthansa Private Jet service. "We are delighted that our innovative product has become so firmly established in the market so soon after its launch. Lufthansa Private Jet, offering customers à la carte mobility, has meantime become a firm fixture in our full-service strategy," observed Thierry Antinori, Executive Vice President Marketing and Sales at Lufthansa Passenger Airlines. "Our customers appreciate especially the opportunity of enjoying the exclusive Lufthansa First-Class amenities on the Private Jet service and making their journey even more comfortable."
The accord with NetJets is consequently being extended for a further five-year term and cooperation intensified with the private jet provider. From now on, more jets will be on call, daily, in order to accommodate increased demand for the Lufthansa Private Jet service. In future, the Falcon 2000, which seats up to ten passengers in comfort, will also be available to customers daily.
The Lufthansa Private Jet service is on offer at an attractive fixed price, depending on the flight route and including all charges and costs. Guests flying with the jets travel free. The entire itinerary is coordinated by an event manager. A personal service team is available for customers, round-the-clock. In-flight catering and entertainment are tailored to individual requirements and passengers have full use at any time of First-Class services laid on at the airport by Lufthansa, SWISS or Lufthansa partners. Lufthansa Private Jet bookings can be made on the dedicated hotline +49 (0) 18 02 99 33 00 for Germany and the rest of Europe, and on 0888 261 0814 for the US and Canada.

Virgin To Help Flyers, Private Jets Connect
By Marilyn Adams, USA TODAY
For those who can't abide flying with the masses, chartering a private jet may be getting a bit easier, though not necessarily cheaper.
Billionaire Briton Richard Branson, chairman of Virgin Atlantic Airways, is about to dip his toe into the tantalizing but murky waters of the private jet charter business.
STORY: Charter jets aren't just for actors, sports stars anymore
Compared with the commercial airline industry, the private jet charter business is small — about $8 billion a year in sales — but it's growing fast, both in hours flown and revenue.
Virgin Charter, a new Virgin-financed website scheduled to launch this fall, plans to use Internet technology to provide prospective buyers with immediate price quotes for the trip destination, day and time requested. Buyers will also get details about the specific aircraft; pilots and operator; safety audits; and quality ratings from previous customers.
Passengers or travel agents will be able to use Virgincharter.com to book domestic or international trips online with any one of a variety of charter operators using a credit card or wire transfer. Virgin will collect from the seller a commission on each trip sold.
Virgin Charter CEO Scott Duffy compares his travel site to financial website LendingTree, where competing lenders provide online interest rate quotes to prospective borrowers.
Virgin Charter will not be the first charter jet website to link buyers and sellers. But Virgin promises to be the most comprehensive charter jet marketplace and, with the Virgin brand, is likely to be the most recognizable.
"No one else has brought everything together with this level of transparency," says Duffy, who is based in Santa Monica, Calif.
Will sell 'empty legs'
Virgin Charter is not planning to own or operate charter jets. It will offer price quotes only from operators that undergo safety audits. Operators will not be charged for giving quotes, and passengers will not be charged for using the site.
Duffy says the site will also offer a dedicated area selling "empty legs," the inventory of trips that private jets will be flying without passengers.
As many as 40 percent of private jet trips are flown empty because jets are shuttling to a different city to start a scheduled trip, or have delivered their passengers and are returning to home base.
That translates into lots of trips that could be sold if the information were available to potential buyers.
Jim Coyne, president of the National Air Transportation Association, a charter trade group, says Virgin's entry into the business shows the charter jet business has a strong future.
Coyne estimates the industry has attracted $1 billion in new capital investment in the past two years.
He attributes that to the improving quality of charter jet operations and the deterioration of U.S. airline service.
"Let's face it: 90 percent of what used to be considered first-class airline service has evaporated," he says.
Some experts aren't so sure Virgin Charter will be a sure success.
Fred Gevalt, founder of the Air Charter Guide, one of the earliest guides to private jets for hire, isn't convinced the clubby charter business will embrace Virgin's concept.
"This is an industry that has defied efforts to commoditize it," he says.
He estimates the jet charter business survives on thin profit margins of 3 percent to 5 percent. Private jet operators tend to resist brokers and other agents that get between buyers and sellers because they trim that profit further.
The price transparency Virgin Charter is promising could put pressure on prices. "If Virgin Charter drives prices down, operators won't like it," Gevalt says. "I don't think it will rock the industry."
Branson's effort welcomed
Virgin isn't the first big commercial airline name to enter the sexy world of private jets. In the spring of 2001, United Airlines launched a unit called Avolar and ordered small jets worth $2 billion.
It planned to sell shares of the aircraft to investors for their use. Six months after the Sept. 11 attacks, United, fighting for financial survival, closed Avolar after investing $100 million.
Some welcome Virgin's entry because it could bring more transparency and competition to a diverse, decentralized industry that, compared with the airlines, is not widely understood or regulated.
"The best thing that could happen is for Richard Branson to come into this business," says Adam Webster, a founder of RSVPair, an air charter directory.
Virgin, he says, may instill greater business discipline into the charter jet world.
For those who can't abide flying with the masses, chartering a private jet may be getting a bit easier, though not necessarily cheaper.
Billionaire Briton Richard Branson, chairman of Virgin Atlantic Airways, is about to dip his toe into the tantalizing but murky waters of the private jet charter business.
STORY: Charter jets aren't just for actors, sports stars anymore
Compared with the commercial airline industry, the private jet charter business is small — about $8 billion a year in sales — but it's growing fast, both in hours flown and revenue.

Private Jet Industry Growing Amidst Fuel Prices; Lack Of Hospitality Sparks Change
Los Angeles, CA (RUSHPRNEWS) July 25, 2008 — With the increasing instability, inconveniences, and shrinking schedules associated with commercial air travel, more and more people have been turning to private aviation. Private Jet travel is in fact the fastest growing segment of aviation today. The benefits are apparent; they include but are not limited to the ability to fly in/out of thousands of local municipal airports, the absence of security lines (or lines of any sort), and the ability to tailor a flexible flight schedule to ones’ own needs.
Alex M. Early explains that his private jet company, The Early Air Way, LLC is thriving today in part because of the fresh demand for private air charter, but also because of a purported lack of quality amongst the ‘big name’ competition. Early formerly worked for a Los Angeles based jet operator that provided flight for many of the big name private jet brokers. “The big name companies mark up wholesale flight costs excessively, and provide next to nothing in terms of a hospitality edge,” explains Early. “I found the fact that someone could charter a jet for five-figures only to receive service and amenities at par to short haul commercial first class was ridiculous,” Early continues.
The Early Air Way established itself as a private jet charter operator that would not only charge less for its flights than all of its big name competitors, but would also provide luxury amenities such as gourmet catering from local celebrity restaurants, luxury skin care products, and unmatched one-on-one hospitality and logistics management for each and every flight through an in-house “hospitality team”… all au gratis.
Within one year of offering charter flights, The Early Air Way has taken customers from nearly every large private jet company, and has earned rights to provide flights directly to multiple Las Vegas casinos. “They chose us because of our proven unmatched hospitality and product,” Early explains.
The Early Air Way, LLC was founded in 2005 out of a New York University dorm room by Alex Early, a private pilot, and hospitality guru. “The mere fact that we, as a young start-up, managed to gain success in such a high-strung business in the midst of our established competition further affirms our wholehearted belief that the industry is flawed, and we really do it better,” Early states.
The Early Air Way also has an on-site commercial airline expert, Matthew Stagg. Stagg formerly worked for multiple US legacy carriers and assists clients of The Early Air Way with commercial travel insider tips.
Early, Stagg, and the whole team can be visited at the company’s website, http://www.theEarlyAirWay.com, or called at (800) 783-2970.

Customers for Private Jets? Recession Proof.
Charter air flights soar despite the US economy downturn.
New York, NY, March 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Blue Star Jets posted their most profitable month ever on customers for private jets (46% increase on the month, and 27% increase on the year). In a season meant to be overwhelmed by the poor economy, it is a watershed event.
Private charter air flights have seen unprecedented growth in the last year. Two reasons prevail: commercial aviation woes and the increasing demand for private jet charter.
With congestion wreaking havoc on commercial aviation, small businesses, specifically those who rely on the hub and spoke system, have been stranded and are left scrambling for an alternative transportation. Businesses need to travel; and those lacking the capital resources to buy a plane are turning to on-demand private jet charters.
Wealthy families and individuals who have also soured at the idea of flying commercial, even first class, turned to charter air flights last year. These customers are taking advantage of private jet shared rides, one ways, and special routes that can be purchased at a discount.
"We have never seen as many families get together to share a private jet than we did over the '07 holidays. People are finding ways to make private jet charters affordable. Going commercial has become way too unpredictable for the first-class traveler." Ricky Sitomer, CEO, Blue Star Jets.
Charters air flights' timely boom has also helped major jet manufacturers (Gulfstream, Cessna, Bombardier) exceed their production plans. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association reports that worldwide business jet deliveries rose 28.4 per cent from 886 in 2006 to a record 1,138 last year.
Regardless of our economy's downturn, the benefit (for some) of customers for private jets will never take a hit. In a little over six years Blue Star Jets has become the industry leader, ranked #1 in 2007 for Customer Service and Customer Satisfaction by the Luxury Institute.
About Blue Star Jets:
ANY JET, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE™, the motto of Blue Star Jets, who has become a leader in corporate jet charter services, offers its clientele unparalleled service and the ultimate in luxury and convenience. Individuals, groups and families are able to charter a private jet to Las Vegas and worldwide with anonymity, safety and convenience. They offer discount air charter fares without the compromise of service to all of their clients.
