Flight Options, a leading provider of private-jet travel services, announced today that the company has added a late model Beechjet 400A light jet to its industry-exclusive Fractional Interchange Management (FIM) program.
The Beechjet 400A has a maximum range of 1,800 nautical miles. It can carry up to 7 passengers and has a maximum cruise speed of 485 mph.
This is the fourth aircraft to join Flight Options’ new managed fleet, a significant development for a program so recently launched.
Aircraft owners who partner with Flight Options through FIM maximize the revenue potential of their aircraft by tapping into Flight Options’ large fractional customer base. They also gain access to Flight Options’ entire fleet of over 130 state-of-the-art aircraft, comprised of light, midsize, super-mid and large cabin aircraft.
“With Fractional Interchange Management, aircraft owners can access different classes of aircraft when it suits their needs to do so, while enjoying the greatest return that chartering their own aircraft can offer,” stated Dan Lucey, general manager of aircraft management at Flight Options.
With Flight Options’ more traditional Turnkey Aircraft Management program, owners station their aircraft at the location of their choice, and still enjoy the cost offsets of charter through Flight Option’s high demand network.
Both management programs are growing in popularity as a result of the many benefits they offer—guaranteed charter revenue, and access to Flight Options’ dedicated maintenance professionals, highly trained aircrews and operating expertise.
Flight Options’ Aircraft Management Services are available to owners of Beechjet 400/Hawker 400XP, Hawker 800/850XP, Citation X, Challenger, Gulfstream IV and Legacy aircraft.
