Magellan Jets Releases Jet Card with Custom Hours

Charter operator Magellan Jets is offering a new jet card program that allows buyers to select the hours they need instead of the traditional 25-hour increments. The flexible-hour jet cards are available for specific “Advantage Routes,” which are frequently flown high-demand corridors.

Starting with two routes in the eastern U.S., Advantage Routes will expand to 10 in the fourth quarter. Magellan Jets will add routes “based on seasonal travel, holiday demand, and popular destinations.”

To purchase the desired number of hours, buyers start at the 25-hour level and add more hours. Magellan Jets has also added more benefits at the 25-, 50-, and 100-hour jet card levels, with category jet cards for light, midsize, super-midsize, or heavy jets or premium jet cards for specific airplane types such as the Embraer Phenom 300, Bombardier Challenger 350, or Gulfstream G450 or G550.

At 25 hours, customers can access up to four airplanes per day and receive a 12-month rate lock and 10% long-leg and round-trip rate advantage. At 50 hours, Magellan Jets provides access to up to six airplanes a day, a 7% Advantage Routes rate reduction, 18-month rate-lock, 15% long-leg and round-trip rate advantage, and four short-leg waivers. The 100-hour level adds a 24-month rate lock, 20% long-leg and round-trip rate advantage, eight short-leg waivers, and access to up to eight airplanes per day.
