"FlyPrivate" Reflects Goal Of Increased Accessibility

The company formerly known as Private Business Jets, LLC announced this week it has changed its name to FlyPrivate, the first step in a series of new programs being rolled out later this year aimed at increasing private jet travel accessibility to more business and leisure travelers.

Since 2002, FlyPrivate has provided cost effective private jet service with access to a network of light, mid-sized and heavy aircraft. The company tells ANN that during that time, thousands of customers have experienced its industry-leading service, which includes rapid response and more flight backup options at a cost of up to 25 percent less than the company's next largest competitor.

"The name FlyPrivate represents to the marketplace exactly what we do best, making travel on private jets a simpler, more affordable option," said Don Smith, co-founder and COO. "In addition, because our domain name since 2002 has been FlyPrivate.com, many of our customers already know us best as FlyPrivate," Smith said.

FlyPrivate's founders pioneered a straightforward, no surprises approach to private jet travel with features like no blackout dates and no long-term contracts or up-front deposits - just safe, high quality pay-as-you-go, private charter jet service. As a result, the company has realized a 98 percent customer retention rate.

Founded in 2002 by veterans of the private jet industry and headquartered in Hingham, MA, FlyPrivate offers nationwide jet travel service for business travelers and individuals who want peace of mind without hidden costs. The company offers customized Part 135-operated services including guaranteed access, guaranteed aircraft backup, and business and personal savings programs.
