Jet card

The CP Jets jet card

For people who fly three or more times a year and want one call to make.

What it is

Three lines.

01

Prepaid flight hours in one aircraft category.

02

Availability with notice. Peak days are named by date in the proposal.

03

A pilot behind every trip, from the fit check to the call after you land.

Who it is for

Three or more trips a year.

The card fits people who fly three or more times a year, or about 25 plus hours, and want the same category each time. It also fits a family or a company that wants one point of contact and one written set of terms.

If you fly less than that, charter is usually the better answer, and we will say so on the call. The route pages send you here when a route starts to repeat.

What you get

Hours based, category based, pilot reviewed.

  • Hours based. You know what you have, and every trip draws from it.
  • Category based. One aircraft category, chosen with a pilot for the way you fly.
  • Options reviewed by a pilot before you see them.
  • The same written standards as charter: aircraft selection, airframe age and trip coverage.
  • One point of contact, from the fit check to the trip.
How it compares

The terms any card should answer in writing.

Any card should answer these terms in writing before you fund it. Here is how the CP Jets card reads on each one, in plain words. The third column is the question to put to any provider, including us.

Fair questions

The CP Jets jet card questions.

Is the card right for me?

If you fly three or more times a year, or about 25 plus hours, in the same category, usually yes. If not, charter is often the better answer, and we say so on the call.

What aircraft will I fly on?

Aircraft we source in your category, from our sourcing network, reviewed by a pilot against the same standards as charter. The airplane and its details are confirmed before each trip.

Can I count on an aircraft when I call?

Availability comes with notice. The notice period and the peak day exceptions are written in the same sentence of the proposal, so you know the terms before you fund the card.

Do hours expire, and where does my money sit?

The proposal states the term, the rollover and the funds handling exactly. We do not paraphrase those terms on the page.

How do I get the rates?

Complete the fit check. A pilot calls to walk through the fit and sends a written proposal. Rates are never texted.
