Air Partner, a private aviation provider in global service, has launched a new fixed transatlantic rate structure for global cabin jets. It comes with the flexible benefits through its JetCard program with an entry point of just ten hours.

The fixed rate of $15,650 per hour is now available for flights between the United States and Europe. The move  makes it easier for JetCard members to fly globally, both within and between these service areas. It also offers the option of a discounted rate for round trips.  

“Over the past few years, we’ve noticed increasing demand for an improved transatlantic option to better connect clients in the United States with Europe,” said David McCown, president of Air Partner U.S. “ So we have become the first jet membership program to offer a fixed transatlantic rate.”

Air Partner’s new rate offering is available with a JetCard membership. Flights are managed through Gulfstream series, Bombardier’s Global series and Dassault’s Falcon series aircraft.

Sample transatlantic rate flight routes and pricings* include:

• Teterboro to London Luton

Estimate charter price: From $109,550 (one way) / From $93,118 (return trip)

• Washington Dulles to Paris Le Bourget

• White Plains to Zurich

Estimate charter price: From $119,253 (one way) / From $101,365 (return trip)

*All pricing reflects a Global cabin jet with seating for 12 people on average.

JetCard members enjoy fixed hourly rates, flight credits that never expire, and guaranteed flight availability. The company claims having no hidden fees, and pricing includes aircraft, crew, landing fees, fuel surcharges, de-icing, taxes and catering. Additional benefits of transatlantic flights include flexible cancellation rates, complimentary wi-fi when available, and 15 percent discount to the hourly rate on qualifying roundtrips.
