– Press Release –

Manassas, VA- JETdebit.com was launched yesterday during the NBAA Regional Forum at Landmark Aviation at Teterboro Airport (TEB).  Billed as the charter industry’s first Digital Jet Card™ – JETdebit clients will have the ability to interact with their own customized profile page and receive complete trip fulfillment services with financial protections.

“Consumers want direct access to the independent operators fulfilling over 90% of charter flights worldwide, while operators deserve to be paid for their services on-time, at a fair rate, and without the risk of fraudulent credit card disputes,” said JETdebit Founder & CEO Jacquie Dalton. “What makes JETdebit unique to the bizav segment is that it’s mutually beneficial to operators and clients, and no additional cost to either.”

Editor’s note – Jacquie Dalton is also currently COO at charter operator Metropolitan Aviation based in Manassas, VA, according to LinkedIn and Metropolitan’s website.

JETdebit charges charter clients a flat percentage fee upon deposit of their travel funds and gives them direct on-line access to an approved network of worldwide operators that fly for JETdebit account holders at wholesale prices. The client benefits from having real-time access and transparency to their personal account where they can monitor their balance, operator quotes, travel history, profile preferences, and more. Operators gain by increasing their brand exposure, direct client business, and 24/7 centralized support services.

“The JETdebit program acknowledges the significant costs an operator incurs to support a charter flight and its goal is to support the operator community by connecting them with pre-paid clients who value flying direct at wholesale pricing while still demanding higher-level services that operators are not equipped to provide,” underlined Dalton.

Drawing on her years of experience as an executive with Metropolitan Aviation, the mid-Atlantic’s largest private jet management and charter company based at Manassas Regional Airport, 20 minutes from Washington Dulles International, Dalton independently developed JETdebit.com.

“The majority of operators have been looking for the right vehicle to support each other’s business in response to the challenges presented by technology over the past decade, noted Dalton. “JETdebit is a platform that brings operators together to the benefit of consumers while advancing their independent brands and growing their business.”

With over 900 Part 135 operators in the US alone, JETdebit expects to register 50 operator clients in the first year of business and build to 1,000 clients within three years.
