Global Jet Shares Brings "Affordable" Gulfstreams
to Fractionals
Startup fractional operator Global Jet Shares (GJS) hopes to redefine
the fractional ownership market when it launches its new pre-owned
Gulfstream jet plan here at NBAA. The Van Nuys-based company says
its fleet will give customers "the prestige and performance
of a luxury Gulfstream at just a fraction of the price."
GJS expects to sell 1/8 fractional shares in each aircraft for
approximately $1.25 million.
Global Jet Shares affirms that it is the only fractional company
to be marketing previously owned Gulfstream jets today. Using
the Air Carrier Certificate and Wyvern certificate of its affiliate
Pacific Jet Inc., GJS intends to operate under the strict requirements
of FAA Part 135 regulations (unlike may other fractional operators).
The company has a fleet of Gulfstream IIIs that have undergone
a series of comprehensive cabin and cockpit upgrades. With these
aircraft the company can offer a 12-14-seat cabin and a 3,600
nmi range (NBAA/IFR rules) at a cruising altitude of over 41,000
feet. The Rolls-Royce Spey-engined jets are all equipped with
Stage III hushkits.
Inside each Gulfstream III is a stand-up cabin with full galley, oven and microwave
service, full catering facilities, a wet bar and a cabin attendant.
Fine china and crystal are used throughout, along with the best
in bedding and linens. Business customers can be assured of satellite
communications connectivity for their phones, fax and computers.
The aircraft are fitted with the Airshow 400 passenger map system
and also come fitted with a DVD and CD player, plus a Sony PlayStation
games system.
