Based on Private Client travel behavior, the leader in private aviation has transformed the Jet Card from a fixed product into a program designed around personalized needs.
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Magellan Jets, a leader in private aviation, today announced a redesigned Jet Card program built around Private Client travel patterns. Anchored by Advantage Routes, which deliver preferred pricing on the high-demand corridors most frequently flown by Magellan Jets Private Clients, the program is the first Jet Card solution designed around individual Client’s specific annual flight needs, aircraft preference, and hourly commitment level. This advancement breaks from the private aviation industry’s standard 25-hour increment model by enabling Private Clients to purchase a customized number of hours based on their individual flying needs.
The program launches with two initial eastern region Advantage Routes and will expand to ten by Fall 2026, with new corridors added based on seasonal travel, holiday demand, and popular destinations.
“Private aviation has long sold the same product to every Client. We took a different approach by asking a simple question: how do our Clients actually fly?” said Josh Lesnick, Chief Operating Officer at Magellan Jets. “The introduction of Advantage Routes offers preferred pricing on the trips our Clients fly most, made possible by our asset-light model that lets us price around demand instead of fleet logistics. Short-leg waivers are another new benefit. A Client flying from Boston to Nantucket, for example, can save up to $10,000 on a single trip through the program’s short-leg waiver benefit.”
In addition to providing Magellan Jets Clients with the opportunity to purchase a Jet Card with any number of hours they choose at or above a 25-hour minimum, the company has launched enhanced benefits that unlock at the 25-, 50-, and 100-hour commitment thresholds. Scaled benefits include:
- With the 25-hour Jet Card, Clients receive a 12-month rate lock, a 10% long-leg and round-trip rate advantage, and access to up to four aircraft per day.
- The 50-hour threshold unlocks a 7% Advantage Routes rate reduction, an 18-month rate lock, a 15% long-leg and round-trip rate advantage, four short-leg waivers, and access to up to six aircraft per day.
- At 100 hours, Clients receive all the same benefits of the 25- and 50-hour Jet Cards, with the addition of a 24-month rate lock, a 20% long-leg and round-trip rate advantage, eight short-leg waivers, and access to up to eight aircraft per day.
Within each commitment level, Clients can select Category Jet Cards (Light, Midsize, Super-Midsize, or Heavy jets) or Premium Jet Cards (Phenom 300, Challenger 350, or Gulfstream G450/550), pairing hourly commitment with the aircraft that fits how they fly.
Core benefits available to all Clients include guaranteed 24/7/365 availability with zero blackout dates, fuel price protection, dedicated Private Aviation Advisors, guaranteed mechanical recovery, and no peak-day surcharges. Additionally, Clients benefit from surcharge-free aircraft interchange, giving Clients the flexibility to adapt to changing trip needs without being penalized for the change.
