Pricing Starting in 2012
We will sell jet time cards in blocks as small as 10 hours of flight time. The price per occupied hour includes fuel (even if it goes up), repositioning costs, hotel expenses for our pilots, landing fees, and federal excise tax (a painful 7.5 percent). The fine print is limited to the following: 1 hour minimum per flight; we add the industry-standard 0.1 hours at each end of a flight for taxi, waiting, parking, etc.; 50 percent extra for trips to or from the extended service area.
Are fractional ownership programs cheaper? Maybe. If you can figure out the actual cost, you’re smarter than we are. With fractional, you pay the acquisition cost. Somehow when 8 people each buy 1/8th of an airplane, they have collectively spent a a lot more than the actual list price of that airplane. When the airplane gets older and the fractional company sells it, you may get hit with a big surprise if the demand for used jets is weak. The fractional companies add in a monthly management fee, a fuel surcharge any time fuel costs more than it did in 1965, federal excise tax, and some other fees.
We expect that our pricing will be highly competitive for typical light jet charter customers. The Embraer Phenom 100 burn less fuel and have lower operating costs than any other business jet design. We specialize in travel around the Northeast, thus keeping our repositioning costs low. We will try to sign up customers who want to do a lot of same-day trips, departing from and returning to Hanscom Field.
