For The CFO Who Has Everything, A Private Jet Gift Card
We're continuously impressed by the sheer versatility of private jet portals—companies like FlexJet, NetJets, and InJet that rent out time slots to CEOs and CFOs—in creating new pitches. In a world of heightened oil prices and sharpened environmentalism, these organizations still manage to get corporate giants to book their charter jets by the hour, presumably because first class on an airline is just too plebeian. These planes are the SUVs of the civilian aviation world, and yet they're constantly coming up with new ways to sell themselves raw.
The latest innovation comes from Injet, which is joining more quotidian retail outlets this season by pitching customers on a holiday gift card. The Injet Touch 10 Jet Card will allow the lucky jet setter in your life to book 10 hours of charter jet services "without a large capital outlay." There are three tiers of value, ranging from $42,000 for a light jet, $54,500 for a midsize jet, and $81,000 for a heavy jet.
There are even discounts available if the card is redeemed for a round trip rather than a one way, the upshot being that customers can squeeze more than 10 hours out of any individual Touch 10 card. Injet calls this their "Round Trip Efficiency Bonus." For example, usually an hour on a light jet would cost you $4,200 ($4,200 x 10 hours = $42,000, the cost of a light jet Touch 10 card). But if you redeem the card for a round trip the per hour rate drops to $3,050. See? Affordable and scalable.
Depending on the jet, customers can take between six and thirteen friends, and fly either domestically or internationally. There's a Tiger Woods joke here but frankly we're just too jaded to make it at this point.
