NetJets Business Aviation Ltd. (Booth P618)–NetJets’ China partnership with Hony Jinsi Investment Management Beijing and Fung Investments–announced a new jet card option yesterday at ABACE 2015. The new prepaid Private Jet Travel Card for China-based travelers offers access to NetJets services in mainland China connecting the region with the NetJets global fleet that operates in more than 170 countries, including the U.S., EU and Switzerland. 
  
With the card, travelers now have access to the Hawker 800XP within the Executive Jet Management China Charter services, as well as other Signature Series aircraft in the U.S. and Europe, subject to availability.
  
Minimum starting balance requirements have also been reduced, allowing the buyer to determine the exact amount of flight time needed. Standard charter rates in China, hourly rates in the U.S. and EU and ancillary fees are deducted from the balance. 
  
“As the demand for charter services among China-based travelers continues to grow, we are pleased to introduce these enhancements to the Private Jet Travel Card,” said NetJets Business Aviation vice chairman Eric Wong. “We believe the lower upfront cost and greater selection of aircraft will accommodate the needs of these customers as they come to value the benefits of private aviation–convenience, safety, security and privacy.”
