August 15, 2008, Newsletter Issue #85: Charter Jet Safety

Tip of the Week

An individual aircraft's safety record or "clean bill of health" based on maintenance records can be very assuring, but it is important to know that aircraft charter companies do not manage the planes, or control the pilots. It's easy to forget that the charter plane company is a source of information about the pilots and aircraft rather than the controlling interest. If you need further information on a particular airplane, your aircraft charter agent may be able to assist you, but can also do your own research; check the manufacturer's website for additional details. Such a search on the Citation X, for example, will reveal the aircraft's design team won a 1996 award given for performance, efficiency, and safety. Such information is definitely reassuring.

SkyCard members are automatically registered in the rewards program when they buy a SkyCard, and receive five points for every dollar they spend. After enrolling, charter customers receive one point for every dollar spent.

Members can then shop on-line for special gifts and merchandise from companies such as Callaway Golf, Movado, Coach, Nautilus Home Gyms, Samsung, and Bang and Olfsen. Over 2,200 high-end, luxury products are offered.

Blue Star Jets plans to add several thousand more options over the next year, from luxury vacations to access to exclusive events taking place around the world.

A reward program is a nice incentive, but there's more to picking a good on-demand charter broker. Helium Report's Decision Guide to Private Jet Travel shows you all the factors to consider - such as safety, call-out periods, crew quality and so on.
