Private Jet Travel Now Affordable
For First-Class Business Travelers
CharterAuction.com Creates Share-a-Jet Program
|
Quincy, MA � July 2002 � CharterAuction.com, the only comprehensive online site for affordable private aircraft charter, today announced the launch of its Share-a-Jet Program. Share-a-Jet enables business consumers to book affordable single seats on private charter jets for point-to-point travel anywhere in the world.

�Our Share-a-Jet program makes it possible for the corporate business traveler to fly anywhere, anytime, at an affordable price,� said Nate McKelvey, President and CEO of CharterAuction.com. �With Share-a-Jet, the price of using a private air charter is comparable to � and in some cases lower than � a first class seat on a major airline, but without the long waits or the hassle of dealing with the corporate airline bureaucracy. CharterAuction.com is committed to providing the lowest possible fares in private jets.�

The Share-a-Jet program utilizes CharterAuction.com's exclusive online connection to all commercial jet owner/operators around the world. Once a time-and-destination request is entered into the CharterAuction.com system, owner/operators provide price quote bids for the trip. After the best quote is determined, CharterAuction.com can further reduce the cost of the trip through its Share-a-Jet program, by posting the availability of the chartered plane's unused seats online.

Through the Share-a-Jet program, individual business travelers can check on prices, location, dates and times of available seats that are posted on the CharterAuction.com web site. CharterAuction.com also collects itineraries from business travelers seeking seats on private jets. When new seats are posted, CharterAuction.com automatically searches its database of itineraries and alerts the matches via email.

�Charter Auction is very easy to use,� McKelvey continues. �A private business traveler could book a trip on an eight seat Lear Jet from Boston to Miami and if, for instance, only two of the eight seats available were taken, the traveler could then post the trip on our web site through our Share-a-Jet service to see if anyone else would be willing to share the cost of the trip. The private business traveler could reduce his/her travel costs by up to 50 percent or more!�

Charter clients can both book a private plane or search for a seat through CharterAuction.com's Share-a-Jet program by going online to www.charterauction.com, or by calling 800-370-7719, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
