JetLimo Announces Launch of Shared Charter Jet Service
Thousand Oaks, CA (PRWEB) May 7, 2009 -- JetLimo, Inc. launches its online scheduling service for shared charter flights. JetLimo's patent pending system, at www.jetlimo.com, is an online service that provides the scheduling for shared charter air travel. Now travelers can easily buy a seat on a charter jet, instead of chartering the whole aircraft. A unique feature of JetLimo's pricing engine is the normalizing of fares amongst passengers. With FareShareSM, JetLimo addresses the issue of fair pricing for the first passenger through the last on a flight.
"The charter business was going through a major shift, even before the economic crisis," says Mike Aaby, President of Aero Jet Services in Scottsdale, Arizona. "An area we focused on is expanding our market to new customers, people who are not able to justify private charter on a regular basis, but can benefit from the use of shared charter flights. JetLimo approached us and made a compelling argument that a technology solution is needed to schedule and manage the shared charter passengers, and still meet the many regulations that we operate under. What shared charter does for Aero Jet Services is provide new customers and allow us to implement operational strategies to improve efficiency, benefiting our private charter clients."
Mike Azzarello, CEO and founder of JetLimo, is excited at hitting a major company milestone, "The launch of jetlimo.com is a big milestone for JetLimo. Getting the service online involved a lot of coordination with charter operators to make sure we met all the regulatory requirements, on top of the scheduling and pricing systems that needed to be developed. Now we can start offering this new travel option to business travelers and people in areas that are not well served by the airlines."
Shared charter provides many of the benefits of private charter, but at a fraction of the cost. Travel up to three times faster than airlines or driving. Depart and arrive at airports close to your points of interest - the majority of domestic airline traffic is through 39 airports, in comparison JetLimo can use over 5,000 general aviation airports. Trips that require overnight stays with airlines can be converted to day trips on JetLimo, or travel to several cities in a single day. Shared charter travel offers business travelers and people in under serviced areas a more efficient form of travel than airlines or driving. What was missing is the means to combine passengers with similar itineraries onto a single charter flight. JetLimo fills this gap with their web-based scheduling system and delivers the flights through FAA-certified charter operators.
An example flight is Oxnard California to Sacramento California. On the airlines a First Class ticket costs around $400, requires one or two plane changes that takes three and a half to four and a half hours of travel time, not including getting to the airport, and getting from Sacramento International to downtown Sacramento. Compare this to a JetLimo flight with six passengers, the per seat cost is about $600, the flight is non-stop on a business jet taking less than one hour of flight time and lands at Sacramento Executive, ten minutes from downtown Sacramento. And you can arrive within 15 minutes of the planned departure time for a JetLimo flight, versus being at the airport at least an hour before departure for an airline flight.
