Private Jet Services (PJS) is rolling out a program, PJS Private Client, that offers guaranteed charter aircraft availability, consulting, and other services. The program is designed to provide a more transparent and simpler approach to booking private travel without membership or other fees, according to the company.
Instead, clients put down a refundable $100,000 deposit that is held in a JPMorgan Chase escrow account. In addition to guaranteed availability, the program provides dedicated account management, a daily catering credit, and advisory services for aircraft management, acquisition/disposition, large-group charter, and emergency-response planning.
“The old paradigm, marred by hidden costs, flawed business models, and restrictions, no longer serves the refined sensibilities of today’s discerning high-net-worth individual,” according to PJS’s chief sales officer. “The model forgoes the constraints of membership and interchange fees, placing the client’s desires at the forefront.”
