Flexjet LLC has announced Corporate
Solutions by Flexjet, which will partner with corporate flight
departments to enhance capabilities and efficiencies while maintaining the
high standards expected by their companies.
This division of Flexjet will focus its
expertise on corporate flight departments that maintain and operate their
own fleet of aircraft. Flexjet already serves several Fortune 1000 companies
with a combination of supplemental lift and consultation to achieve more
effective utilization of their existing fleets.
Flexjet’s fleet of light to
ultra-long-range aircraft and state-of-the-art operations and control center
can assist flight departments in overcoming many of the challenges they
face. Some of the solutions include:
- Offering access to the right size of
aircraft for the mission
- Strategic fleet optimization to
reduce cost of repositioning aircraft
- Collaborating on smarter solutions
for aircraft redundancy needs (i.e., a back-up solution)
- Improving the caliber of consistency
in aircraft and level of service that passengers expect
- Offering tailored invoicing to meet
tax laws and accounting requirements
- Expertise and experience with complex
international missions
“We created this program in direct
response to a trend among corporate flight departments seeking to deploy
capital more thoughtfully, while also expanding their capabilities,” said
Michael Silvestro,
Flexjet’s Chief Executive Officer. “Corporate flight departments excel at
meeting their companies’ travel needs. However, they often face challenges
when the mission calls for a larger or smaller aircraft, multiple aircraft
or a ready standby. Corporate Solutions by Flexjet works with flight
department managers on a consultative basis, identifying these challenges
and finding the most effective solution for their overall operation.”
One of Flexjet’s most distinctive features
is that each member of the Corporate Solutions team is an Airline
Transport-rated pilot, averaging more than two decades of service. They are
able to work with senior flight department personnel, who also are current
or former pilots, because they speak the same language, grasp the technical
requirements and understand the operational challenges they face.
“Ultimately, we see Corporate Solutions by
Flexjet as a seamless extension of corporate flight departments, providing
independent advice and whatever support flight directors, chief pilots and
other managers need to do their jobs,” said
Matt Doyle,
Flexjet’s Executive Vice President of Sales, an experienced 91 and 135
turbine pilot. “With our own operations control center staffed 24/7/365,
safety department, mission planners and customer service representatives, we
expect flight departments will benefit not only from our infrastructure but
also from Flexjet’s more than two decades of experience in developing
tailored solutions to meet the travel needs of organizations of all sizes.”
