Ownership Assist, the innovative aircraft management program that Delta Private Jets (DPJ) introduced in early June, has been well received by customers.
DPJ has signed agreements for five new aircraft that are entering the fleet through this program, two of which have just been added to the managed fleet.
“Ownership Assist is another example of the unique and innovative solutions that we offer our customers,” said
John Daly, Chief Operating Officer of Delta Private Jets. “All of our Aircraft Management Programs allow owners to tailor their own flying and aircraft access with the ability to offset costs of ownership through revenue generation and cost savings.”
The program is designed for owners who require only occasional use of their aircraft, and are looking for guaranteed monthly revenue to cover financing costs.
Through Ownership Assist and the company’s other programs, Delta Private Jets continues to add a variety of popular, late-model aircraft to its fleet. The most recent additions are a Citation CJ2 and Citation CJ3, a Falcon 2000 and a Gulfstream
GIV-SP.
“We continue to see increased demand, especially for our Jet Card product,” Daly continued. “Our ability to add popular aircraft models to our fleet through our Aircraft Management Programs allows us to meet this demand and fuels growth. In June and July, we recorded year over year increases in Jet Card sales of 33% and 28% respectively.”
The recently-added GIV-SP and Falcon 2000 are equipped with Wi-Fi. The Gulfstream, which is based in Phoenix, comfortably seats 13 passengers and had a full interior and exterior refurbishment earlier this year. The Falcon 2000 features a 10-place executive interior finished with fine leather and Birdseye Maple. All four aircraft are great additions to DPJ’s fleet, which has grown to over 50 aircraft. The company projects growth to 60 aircraft by the fourth quarter. In addition, DPJ has access to over 1,000 additional aircraft through an affiliate network of charter operations.
