Jet Linx Introduces AOG Supplemental Lift Support

Aircraft management and jet card provider Jet Linx has launched a new program that aims to support its clients when their aircraft is down for maintenance.

The Owner Aircraft Exchange will guarantee the company’s managed aircraft owners who participate in the program hourly rates similar to their own costs whenever their jet is unavailable due to scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Those owners will receive a minimum of 10 hours of supplemental flight time annually in return for pledging the use of their aircraft for an equivalent amount of time to support other aircraft owners.

According to the company, unlike standard aircraft management programs, which require owners to pay hourly retail pricing for replacement aircraft, the new program leverages the nationwide Jet Linx fleet to provide “closed network” support. It will enable them to continue to fly at cost-effective rates on a pay-as-you-go basis with no requirement to use those additional hours.

Enrollment is currently underway with the nationwide rollout of the program to Jet Linx customers slated for May 1.

“The last thing an aircraft owner should worry about is how they will get to their next destination when their aircraft has an unscheduled or scheduled maintenance event,” said Jet Linx executive chairman Jamie Walker, adding that the true ultimate benefit of owning a private jet is to travel on their schedule. “The Owner Aircraft Exchange represents an innovative extension of our client-first philosophy, ensuring that our aircraft owners keep moving seamlessly and cost-effectively, fully within the secure and trusted Jet Linx community.”
