CitationShares Offers Executive Air Travel for Less than an Executive Auto

If you've ever stroked your chin and wondered how nice it would be to have another Mercedes S-class in the garage, then maybe you should ponder what else you could get for your hard-earned cash. CitationShares is now offering a seriously good deal for modest users of business jet travel. If you've never made the leap to a regular fractional ownership contract, then perhaps you'd like to consider CitationShares' new Platinum Traveler Program. It offers the benefits of fully fledged "fractionality" for low-time users, without the constraints of a big-league contract.

Aimed at companies that might need to fly between 25 and 50 hours per year, the Platinum Traveler Program puts a CJ1 or a Bravo at their disposal-available for national or international travel, 24 hours a day, seven days a week on just eight-hour notice. The plan features a low cost of $109,000 per 15-month period, during which the first 25 occupied hours are included. After that, an additional 25 hours per period are available, in any investment, at savings of 50%. Travelers pay only for the hours they are on the aircraft, with no positioning fees.

For those clients who do need the extra benefits of owning a fractional aircraft, CitationShares has some good news for you also. Along with Cessna Finance Corp., the company is offering an interest-free, zero-payment financing plan for anyone interested in buying a share of a Cessna CJ1. You need a 30% down payment and can have a credit term of up to 24 months.-
