Coastal Jet Service Launches Innovative Private Aviation Program

White Plains, NY -- (SBWire) -- 06/22/2009 -- New York based Coastal Jet Service, a premiere business aviation corporation, has announced a new approach to private jet travel with daily non-stop flights between New York and Los Angeles. Coastal Jet Service is solely offering private jet services in which travelers can book and pay for seats on flights with the same ease and level of commitment as booking a commercial flight, without the hassle and headaches of commercial travel. With today’s economic market affecting the way consumers spend, Coastal Jet Service eases the burden of an up-front investment, commitment, or sizeable monthly fees, for those who want to travel with all the flexibility, speed, and luxury of a private jet.

Andrew Cavaluzzi, Chief Marketing Officer and a ten-year veteran of the private aviation and luxury markets explains, “Coastal Jet Service’s business model is in direct response to the on-going interest in private aviation and significant decline in private jet travel in the first quarter of 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2008. Coastal is providing an intermediary option for fliers who want to avoid spending large amounts of money for standard jet charter or avoid investing and/or committing to fractional ownership, but still desire the time savings, privacy, and convenience of private jet travel at a fraction of the cost. By solely offering seats, we are allowing consumers to pay for only what they need in terms of occupants and trips.” Initial customers are those who need the convenience and flexibility of private aviation, but who have determined flying their personal aircraft to be too costly or customers exiting a time-share program that has become a burden both in cost and commitment.

Flying out of private FBO’s, Avitat in White Plains and Million Air in Burbank, travelers may arrive fifteen minutes prior to departure and avoid the headaches and frustrations caused by the usual two hour standard arrival, long lines, and crowded terminals. Once aboard, Coastal Jet Service’s passengers will enjoy the sumptuous experience of flying aboard a Citation X, the fastest civilian jet in the world. A haven of sophisticated comfort, the whisper quiet and spacious cabin features exotic wood finishes, eight deeply pillowed, genuine leather fully-reclining club seats, twin Rolls Royce engines, a stand-up center aisle, a full-service, luxury lavatory large enough to function as a dressing room, single-seat rows creating simultaneous window views and optimum aisle space, individual Multi-Media stations with TV and DVD functionality, onboard cocktails and gourmet meals, and a heated baggage compartment to ensure safe and reliable luggage transfer. The Citation X creates a luxurious and unforgettable travel experience. The speed of the jet reduces the flying time between the cities from an average of six hours to a rapid four hours, diminishing bi-coastal jet lag, easing the duration of bi-coastal travel, and enabling the traveler to depart NY in the AM and arrive in LA for a breakfast appointment and/or depart LA after lunch and arrive for a dinner meeting in NY.

Flights will depart from the celebrated private aviation sector of Westchester County Airport, often considered the most convenient airport in the New York Metro area. Passengers from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have frequented this airport for years due to its suburban location. This airport was selected due to its limited flights, resulting in a lack of both vehicular and air traffic delays that stands in stark contrast to other airports in the area. West Coast travelers will depart from the private FBO at Burbank Airport, which offers a luxurious and hassle-free alternative to the crowded LA area airports. Coastal Jet Service plans on expanding their routes to include top destinations Miami, Dallas, and Las Vegas in the first quarter of 2010. Clients will book with Coastal Jet Service based on a one-way trip, allowing total scheduling flexibility as well as the option for a commercial or group flight on their return.

Coastal Jet Service’s cost for the one-way flight will be set at a flat rate of $4,600 + Tax, with 1% percent of each ticket sold donated directly to St. Jude’s charity. With the $30,000 cost of chartering a private jet and private jet time-share programs costing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, Coastal Jet Service’s, pay per seat, flexible schedule, and ample time saved both in the air and at the terminal, offers the ideal alternative to private jet travel and the perfect answer to today’s economic environment.
