ABOUT JETBIRD

From 2009, JetBird will offer a point-to-point, on demand private jet service in Europe. The launch of JetBird will mark a revolution in the way people travel in the region. JetBird will offer all of the benefits of traditional private jet usage, but at a fraction of the cost of existing branded private jet operators.

Phenom 100 Virtually all of us who fly regularly aspire to travel on private jets, however to date the cost of private flight has proved prohibitive for all but the most senior executives and the wealthiest individuals, with flight costs being many multiples of business class tickets on commercial aircraft.

JetBird promises to change that. We have agreed to purchase up to 100 Embraer Phenom 100 aircraft, a plane that offers similar cabin space and range to many existing, more expensive, private jets. Through scale and new aircraft technologies, JetBird will provide true low fare private airline travel, providing the benefits of private aircraft travel at approximately half the cost of larger branded competitors. JetBird will appeal to customers of high-cost alternatives while creating an entirely new experience for those whose time is valuable but for whom such travel was previously not affordable.

Beginning operations in Zurich, Switzerland, JetBird will expand its operations to a number of other “mini-hubs”, offering our vision of pleasurable, efficient travel to the largest geographic group possible. It is our expectation to have aircraft permanently based in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France and the UK within five years of launch, travelling wherever and whenever our customers want.
