New York, NY (February 28, 2005) -- As corporate and luxury travelers seek alternatives to the
traditional airline carriers, a new company -- BusinessJet Class -- has developed a way to give travel
agents easy and dependable access to the universe of private jet charter operators. Their secret is a
private jet GDS -- an automated distribution system for private jet chartering that matches the
functionality of commercial airline GDS systems.
In the past, travel agents who tried to book charter flights encountered a number of variables, and
each charter operator or broker had its own rules. Pricing issues, cancellation policies, changes
in the itinerary, availability displays, even safety ratings and qualitative differences designed
to enhance the passenger's experience were so difficult to ascertain that most travel agents simply
shied away from entering this lucrative market. By standardizing the sales process, BusinessJet
Class enables travel agents to book private jets with ease.
Recognizing that private jet charters rely on an often-unfamiliar landscape of general aviation fields
and services outside the experience of agents who are highly knowledgeable about commercial airports
and operations, the BusinessJet Class GDS is loaded with detailed information, allowing the agent to
provide answers to specific questions about aircraft, crew, airport locations, and capabilities.
BusinessJet Class allows agents to book private jet travel with confidence. All BusinessJet Class member
carriers must meet the Aviation Research Group, US. Inc.'s (ARG/US) Gold or Platinum safety standards.
ARG/US is a leading authority on aviation safety and delivers on-site, multi-day audit verification to
measure compliance with rigorous safety and operational standards. They also provide ongoing, real-time
assessments of every flight booked on the BusinessJet Class distribution system.
In addition BusinessJet Class offers:
- superior commissions -- up to 9 percent on charters booked and flown. On a $20,000 flight, for example,
the cumulative BusinessJet Class commission would total $1,800
- product training to those who have never booked a private jet before
- marketing assistance to agencies who want to enter this marketplace but hesitate because they have never
done it before or who do not know how to approach it.
Charter members of the BusinessJet Class travel professionals community gain free access
to the BusinessJet Class GDS. There are no minimum segments or commitments to join. For
more information on the new private jet charter GDS, and BusinessJet Class membership,

Headquartered in New York, BusinessJet Class is a provider of marketing and collaborative
business solutions to the private jet charter Industry. The company mission is to enable
the charter operators and aircraft management companies to attract new aircraft owners
and automate the distribution of charter flights through the travel agency channel.
