ElJet – TRAVELERS CAN NOW FLY PRIVATE FOR THE PRICE OF FIRST CLASS
Monday February 12, 2007 12:00 pm ET

ElJet was founded in 2006 with one simple goal in mind—to make high-quality private air travel more affordable.

In the words of Joseph Gold, ElJet’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing: “Because we maintain the largest network of empty leg flights in the industry, ElJet customers have access to the most exclusive private charter fleets in the world, at significantly reduced prices.”

The term “empty leg” refers to flights that are booked one-way, and return to the starting point empty. This typically means a loss for the aircraft owner, who will often charter the “empty leg” portion of the flight at a significant discount.

As a recent Business Week article noted, over 40% of the nation’s private jet fleet is actually flying empty at any given time. Matching flights with travelers to fill those empty seats allows us to offer significant benefits to all. Aicraft owners and operators are able to reduce their costs dramatically because their aircraft fly full more frequently, and travelers reap the benefit of this reduction in overall costs.

Ellejet does not own or operate the aircraft in our network—instead we work with exclusive partners who provide access to a broad range of charter, fractional, corporate and privately owned aircraft, from the Boeing Business Jet to the Eclipse 500. We have created an exclusive yet comprehensive travel portal that allows us to search for flight offerings in real time, just as commercial airline, business travelers and travel agents do.

Director of Flight Operations Sara Chen adds, “Safety is our highest priority at ElJet—that is why we require that pilots for all of our flights undergo annual testing beyond what is required by FAA regulations, and that all aircraft in our network are FAA Part 135 Air Carrier Certified.”

As increasing numbers of business and high-end leisure travelers become familiar with our services, many companies are recognizing the advantages of private jet travel over traditional business class fares. With ElJet, these advantages are clear: safety, security, significant time savings, convenience, and comfort—often at a reduced cost.

While maintaining a dominant position in the empty leg charter industry, ElJet also provides traditional charter services as well as concierge, maintenance, painting, flight synchronization and aircraft refurbishment.
