, /PRNewswire/ -- , a -based, regional provider of business aviation services, has added a fractional ownership program it considers the best value in the industry. "Our objective is to put private aviation within reach for companies and individuals that might not have considered this possible," said , Founder and CEO. "We started with economical charter and jet cards and now have a compelling fractional product.
" The program offers shares in the company's fully owned fleet of Hawker 800 series midsize aircraft that are maintained in-house and are fully up to date with WI-FI and high-speed connectivity in the cabin. "The Hawkers have long been prized for their cabin comfort, durability, reliability and coast-to-coast range," said Birmingham. "By standardizing on the Hawker, we deliver a uniform product and the efficiency of supporting and training for one fractional model.
" "These are not brand-new aircraft, by intention. Shares are roughly half the cost of comparable new aircraft and experience less depreciation over a three-year contract period. They offer a more flexible ownership option than traditional five-year fractional lock-up periods.
That adds up to substantial savings while giving passengers all the capability of a new aircraft," said Birmingham. By maintaining the aircraft at its three Part 145 repair stations, Premier Private Jets ensures maintenance to its own high standards, at lower cost, with priority booking and consequently high availability and lower cost.
