Lufthansa Private Jet five years on
Friday 12, March 2010
The Lufthansa Private Jet has booked five years of exclusive service for customers of this exceptional product. When this exclusive mode of air travel was launched in March 2005, Lufthansa was the first international airline to provide customers with the comfort of a private aircraft flying at schedules tailored to their individual needs.
To mark the five-year anniversary of the service, Lufthansa Private Jet is offering a five-week Jubilee Special combined with attractive benefits from 1 May: Up to 6 June, customers can profit from a five per-cent discount on flights booked from 1 March on routes beyond Germany’s borders. During the five jubilee weeks, each passenger will earn 50,000 instead of 10,000 award miles per flight. These miles also count as Status and HON Circle miles.
“The pinnacle of air travel – exclusive and flexible, that’s precisely what our premiumsegment passengers want and that’s what we offer them with Lufthansa Private Jet,“ sais Lufthansa Executive Vice President Marketing and Sales Thierry Antinori. With the service, customers can fly in private jets to more than 1,000 destinations in Europe and the Russian Federation. As varied and diverse as the choice of destinations is, the price concept is simple: The flights are on offer at a fixed price. Depending on flight distance, the price is all-inclusive and independent of the number of passengers. Available free of charge, too, is a limousine before and after the flight.
Lufthansa Private Jet is the easy and convenient way for passengers to travel to out-ofthe- way places, by combining several flights across Europe or connecting seamlessly to long-haul flights in the global route network operated by Lufthansa and SWISS. Wherever the destination, Lufthansa Private Jet is the right option. A personal contact person is at the beck and call of customers round-the-clock, a dedicated event manager coordinates the itinerary from start-to-fiinish. Catering and in-flight entertainment are arranged to suit individual requirements. At the disposal of customers at the Frankfurt, Zurich, Munich and Dusseldorf hubs, is lounge access, VIP support and a limousine for convenient transfer from a private jet to a long-haul flight. The Lufthansa Private Jet fleet consists of three, different-sized aircraft types: three Cessna Citation CJ1+ (light size) seating four passengers, two Cessna Citation CJ3 (small size) for six passengers and two Cessna Citation XLS+ (mid-size) for six to eight passengers. Larger aircraft are available, as needs dictate: e.g. a Challenger 850 seating up to twelve passengers from certified partners, like DC Aviation and Jet Alliance.
“Lufthansa Private Jet introduced a new quality dimension in aviation five years ago and pioneered once again a significant trend in air traffic,“ emphasises Lufthansa Executive Vice President Thierry Antinori. The five jubilee weeks from 1 May make the service even more attractive. They are an invitation to Lufthansa Private Jet customers and all those intending to join the clientele to celebrate together five years of exclusive quality and individual service of the highest standard in air travel.
