Ever since the start of Luxist.com a few years ago I have been following the rise of private jet flight for the masses. We've seen the rise of fractional services and small plane services increase dramatically and the newspapers have been full of stories of a future that involves flights that are more taxi cabs of the skies than cattle car bus rides. A new service, Jumpjet, is about to start and it promises private jet travel for a low price. Jumpjet will offer flights on small planes from Citation, Lear, Gulfstream, Hawker, Boeing and others. The flights leave from private avaiation airports in the U.S. starting with 12 cities including New York, Boston, Miami, San Francisco and Seattle. Jumpjet will use a membership system with three levels, silver, gold and platinum that to allowed numbers of flights and guest allowances.

Age of Affordable Private Jet Travel Launches With Jumpjet

SANTA FE, NM -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 19, 2007 -- Jumpjet, the first company to offer a way to fly in a private jet for less than the price of most airline tickets, is now enrolling founding members. Launching service across the United States on May 29, 2007, Jumpjet (www.Jumpjet.com) will offer a breakthrough new option for commercial airline travelers who were previously locked out of the private aviation experience.

Jumpjet members who join before May 1, 2007 will receive a bonus month of private jet travel at no additional cost. Guests and pets always fly free with Jumpjet members aboard a fleet of private jets that includes Citation, Challenger, Embraer, Falcon, Lear, Gulfstream, Hawker, and Boeing Business jets. Corporate memberships are also available.

Prior to the arrival of Jumpjet, private jet travel was the exclusive domain of travelers able to invest tens of thousands to millions of dollars in jet ownership, charter flights or private jet card programs.
