Magellan Launches Corporate Membership Jet Card

Jet-card provider Magellan Jets has launched a Corporate Membership program. Companies committing to more than 100 flight hours per year are guaranteed aircraft availability with six hours' notice—compared with eight hours for individual members—and no peak-day restrictions, surcharges, or blackout dates. Other benefits of Corporate Membership include the use of aircraft that on average are 10 years old or newer; the ability to push back departure times by up to two hours; $100 million minimum liability insurance for all aircraft categories; catering at no extra charge; Wi-Fi on all midsize and larger aircraft; 15 percent credit for roundtrip flights; and 5 percent credit on legs of more than four hours.

Flight-hour rates are 10 to 18 percent higher than for individual memberships, but the program includes additional long-range jets such as the Gulfstream G550 and G650, as well as the Bombardier Global 5000 and 6000.
