Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. Adds Gulfstream G200 to East Coast Jet Charter Service

    WINTER PARK, FL, September 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stratos Jet Charters Inc., a worldwide air charter agency, recently improved its North to South jet charter service by inviting one of the most reputable private jet operators in the Ft. Lauderdale area to join the Stratos Jets' Approved Vendor Program. Stratos Jets can now provide on-demand jet charter service for New England to South East routings on eight of the safest and most highly-maintained private jet aircraft.

The mission of the Stratos Jets' Approved Vendor Program is to ensure that every Stratos Jets vendor meets or exceeds with the highest safety expectations in the air charter industry. To become a member of the program, the Ft. Lauderdale-based operator was required to demonstrate its compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT) and Stratos Jets' aircraft, maintenance and flight crew standards. These requirements were set forth to ensure the safety and quality of every jet charter flight.

To become an official Stratos Jets approved vendor, the South Florida aircraft operator was also required to demonstrate its commitment to air charter safety by maintaining extremely high levels of aircraft insurance. These insurance levels require a minimum of $25 million of liability insurance on all turboprop aircraft and $50 million on all other private jet aircraft. By maintaining a high level of aircraft insurance, aircraft operators show a higher level of commitment to passenger safety and aircraft maintenance standards.

Stratos Jets' newest vendor met these insurance requirements by maintaining a minimum of $50 million of liability insurance on every private jet aircraft and $25 million on every turboprop aircraft. These aircraft include three Beechjet 400s, a Gulfstream G200, a Jetstream 41, two King Air 200s and a Cessna Caravan. The Gulfstream G200 charter jet, in particular, is one of the most desirable jets for North to South charter flights because of its luxurious cabin amenities and extended range capabilities. The Gulfstream G200 can seat nine passenger comfortably over a range of 3,835 nautical miles; ideal for non-stop jet charter flights from New York City to Miami, Florida.

According to Joel Thomas, president of Stratos Jet Charters, the addition of the South Florida operator to the Approved Vendor Program enables his air charter agency to arrange one-way jet charter flights from the North to South, especially valuable during the fall and winter months. Thomas said that the demand for jet charter flights from northeast locations to warm, southern vacation destinations such as South Florida is at its highest from September to January.

"When the weather gets cold in the Northeast, many air charter consumers charter private jets to the South," Thomas said. "This reduces the number of private jets available for charter flights from the North to South. Through the new vendor relationship, Stratos Jets can offer more North to South private jet charter flights during the hectic fall and winter travel seasons."
