Why a fractional owner needs an air charter agent
Charter jet agencies like Stratos Jets are members of an exclusive network of charters operators strategically located throughout the US, Europe, Caribbean and Pacific Islands. This allows Stratos Jets to provide service to and from anywhere in the world. Another unique advantage Stratos Jets has over the competition is true guaranteed availability.
A recent terror threat scare at Los Angeles international airport prompted a mass exodus of wealthy executives from Southern California. Many of these executives had bought into a fractional aircraft program. This program failed to provide availability and those executives left behind quickly found themselves scrambling to make other arrangements in order to leave town.
On that day Stratos Jets found themselves providing options for customers of fractional companies. The fact is Stratos Jet Charters has access to a larger network of aircraft than the number 1 fractional provider. The difference is that fractional provider has the burden of management and maintenance expense. To ensure proper maintenance, fractional members are charged a monthly maintenance fee proportional to their level of ownership in their aircraft class.
Stratos Jets provides jet charter service on demand eliminating annual fees, long term contracts and large acquisition costs; inherent to fractional aircraft ownership programs. Eliminating the hassles of maintenance and expense of ownership has made private aviation available to a whole new set of would be commercial fliers. Stratos Jets believes that providers of luxury services should earn your repeat business, not corral you with long term binding contracts.
The agent relationship allows fractional owners who are stuck in expensive contracts to secure an aircraft regardless of the demands on their fractional fleet. Additionally, agents have the ability to provide the right aircraft for your trip.
To ensure your safety Stratos Jets only provides aircraft that meet the rigorous standard of safety set forth by the FAA in the Part 135 certification. Each aircraft chartered by Stratos Jets on behalf of their clients is also audited by a stringent third party verification company to ensure that the aircraft, pilot/crew, maintenance, and general safety practices of the operators meet the highest standards. The verification companies used are Wyvern and ARG/US.
If you are a member in a fractional jet charter program, Stratos Jets invites you to compare service. In many cases Stratos Jets will be able to provide more options at a better price.
