AN INTRODUCTION TO PRIVATE JET TRAVEL OPTIONS

Chartering an aircraft remains one of the most flexible and straightforward methods of enjoying the freedom and ease of private aviation. Executive Jet Management (EJM) developed this Private Jet Charter Handbook to help answer your questions about this extremely popular private flying option.

OUR STORY

PRIVATE JET CHARTER OPTIONSChartering a private jet allows you to fly anytime, anywhere, on any of the aircraft you prefer. For each individual trip you book, you can choose from any specific aircraft type or aircraft cabin size we offer. And, once you book your trip, your quoted price is guaranteed. You are not responsible for any additional costs if the actual flying time exceeds the quoted amount!

At Executive Jet Management, our fully-customizable programs allow every trip to be tailored to meet your exact travel needs.

Flat-Rate ProgramEJM’s Flat-Rate Program lets you enjoy the ultimate way to manage your flying needs with a consistent, pre-paid pricing model and without repositioning or ferry costs. You only pay for the time you are in the aircraft. One simple, refundable deposit will give you access to any of the five aircraft cabin sizes we offer. Each aircraft size is given a consistent, flat rate, and costs are debited from your deposit after each trip. The Flat-Rate Program represents the most competitive program pricing available, delivering the best combination of value and access to our clients.

Cabin-Class ProgramEJM’s Cabin-Class Program provides a fast, easy process to book trips. Just provide your itinerary and preferred aircraft size and EJM will book your flight. You can choose from any of the five aircraft cabin sizes we offer, each of which is given a set hourly rate. The Cabin-Class Program was developed for clients who require a simplified booking process and consistent pricing model without being tied down to specific aircraft availability.

On-Demand ProgramWith EJM’s On-Demand Program, you have the choice of any aircraft in the EJM or approved vendor fleet in any cabin size or aircraft type you prefer. Each trip is individually priced based on available aircraft and you simply pay-as-you-go. There is no commitment and your use is literally on demand.

Block ProgramWith EJM’s Block Program, our most frequent flying clients are rewarded with a discount on every flight they take. Payments are pay-as-you-go, but at a discounted rate. To take advantage of EJM’s Block Program pricing, you must commit to fly over 50 hours per year with EJM.

JET COMPARISON GUIDE

Midsize Cabin JetsMidsize cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate six to eight passengers with adequate baggage space. They are ideal for trips within the U.S. and can fly to many U.S. locations nonstop. Their maximum travel range is up to five hours flight time or 2,200 miles in optimal conditions. All midsize cabin jets include an enclosed lavatory and generally have a small galley. They also feature a more comfortable interior arrangement and a taller cabin than the small cabin jet. They typically do not include a flight attendant.

Super Midsize Cabin JetsSuper midsize cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate eight to nine passengers with generous baggage space. Ideal for longer trips including domestic and transatlantic travel. Their maximum travel range is up to seven hours flight time or 3,500 miles in optimal conditions. All super midsize cabin jets include an enclosed lavatory and typically have a full galley with room for preparing and serving food and drinks. They also have generous standing and walking room compared to small and midsize cabin jets. Some will include a flight attendant.

Large and Heavy Cabin JetsLarge and heavy cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate 8 to 16 passengers with substantial baggage space. These jets are ideal for international, nonstop transoceanic travel with a maximum travel range of up to 12 hours flight time or 6,000 miles for the largest jets. All large and heavy cabin jets include an enclosed lavatory and a fully-equipped galley with room for preparing and serving food and drinks. They also have the largest interiors and include sleeping accommodations for smaller groups. All flights have a flight attendant on board.

HelicoptersHelicopters are are designed to accommodate up to eight passengers and are ideal for short transport flights and avoiding automobile travel and traffic.

Small Cabin JetsSmall cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate six to seven passengers with modest baggage space. They are perfect for shorter trips where your destination is up to three hours flight time or 1,400 miles away, in optimal conditions. Some small cabin jets include an enclosed lavatory. None have a galley or include a flight attendant. Small cabin jets are considered to be the most cost effective choice.

Executive Jet Management continually strives to provide a simple, easy, and personalized charter booking process. Your EJM charter experience begins when you contact us to discuss your travel needs and continues after you arrive at your destination. One phone call places you in the hands of one of our experienced charter experts, available 24/7/365, who will proactively manage and cater to every aspect of your unique itinerary.

THREE-STEP CHARTER BOOKING PROCESS

Here’s How it Works:

• Charter your flight with as few as four hours notice (and sometimes less).

• Fly on your own schedule, with your exact preferences, even to multiple destinations in one day.

• With up-close parking, arrive just minutes before your departure and avoid long lines, crowds, and security checks.

• Relax onboard with first-class accommodations and service.

• Choose the exact meals and beverages you would like on your flight so that a gourmet dining experience awaits you.

• Make your trip as productive as you choose, in complete privacy and security.

• Fly into the most convenient airport to your final destination, significantly reducing ground transportation time and cost. Private aircraft have access to 5,500 airports across the U.S. whereas commercial flights have access to fewer than 600.

• Avoid cancelled flights, missed connections, or layovers.
