Economy Makes Program More Attractive, Company Says
Flight Options has
unveiled more details about their new Phenom 300 Fractional
Jet Ownership program, which will target corporations caught in the
aftermath of bailouts and belt-tightening.
As one of the few aviation companies in the nation to introduce
a new program during the challenging economic conditions of the
past few months, Flight Options says it is renewing its commitment
to Corporate America with an option it says will reduce costs
without sacrificing profits or productivity.
"There is nothing in the air today that will even come close to
being as economical to buy, fly or maintain as the Phenom 300. Our
timing could not be better," says Jay Heublein, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing for Flight Options. "Flying at a similar cost
per mile to a twin engine turboprop, but featuring the performance
benefits of a super-light jet, the Phenom 300 renders all other
competitive aircraft obsolete. With its economic efficiency, we
have structured the fractional program to offer the lowest hourly
rate in its class – nearly 30% less than comparable
competitive aircraft.”
In 2007, Flight Options placed a near $1 billion order for one
hundred Phenom 300s to be delivered over the next ten years, with
options to purchase an additional fifty aircraft. The first two
aircraft are scheduled to be delivered during the fourth quarter of
this year.
As the first to offer the Phenom 300 in a fractional ownership
program, Flight Options has recently begun to accept deposits for
delivery positions. Demand has been high due to the fact that a new
order of the Phenom 300 will not see delivery until the year
2012.
