AinOnline.com - Airstream Jets Expands to Teterboro
 

Airstream Jets is expanding to the Northeast U.S. with the opening of an office at Signature Flight Support’s south terminal at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. 

The move to add an office is designed to help accommodate increasing demand for ASJ’s new Distance Card.

Debbie Higgins, who has more than 30 years of business aviation experience, will head the new office as president of operations. 

“In selecting our new office location, we felt it was important for us to have a presence in the heart of the world’s leading financial center,” Higgins said.

When you think about jet cards, you probably think hours or dollars, at least until now.
However, two companies are varying from hours and dollars approach. Kansas City-based Executive AirShare is offering a jet card program that is based around selling days instead of hours while Boca Raton, Florida-based Airstream Jets is doing it by miles.

Airstream Jets is targeting a national audience, but instead of pitching hours, it sells its program, the aptly named Distance Card, by mileage. 

Calculating the cost of a charter is complicated. By using miles instead of hours it's faster to come up with a quote. You don’t have to figure out how many hours your flight will take, but just look up the mileage.
Pricing is based on six of jet sizes (Small, Light, Mid, Super-Mid and Heavy) and total trip distance, which is divided in increments of 1,000 miles.

One nifty feature of the program is that you aren’t locked into a specific category or jet type or face interchange fees. You just select the jet category you want for that trip.
