BusinessJet Class Automates Business Jet Charter Bookings for Travel Agents; Offers 9 Percent Commissions and Incentive Programs

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, call 800-397-8564 or visit www.BusinessJetClass.com

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.
