What do you see as the biggest challenge facing marketing: fragmented media, empowered consumers, evolving technology, or all at once?
It’s finding the right client and connecting with them with the right message, at the same time. That hasn’t changed so much. What has changed is the pace of disruption and the tools we have at our disposal; also how our potential consumers are bombarded by so many messages and so many options.
The onus on CMOs today is: How are you creating a message that is compelling and beautiful and aspirational and engaging, so that client will choose to see it? Also, using all the tools at your disposal to craft an experience. I’m lucky I have the canvas of the jet to play with and the whole experience—from my advisors to my client services—in addition to the communications we’re crafting to bring that messaging to life to them.
What are some challenges specific to your brand: the world economy, generational change, consumer attitudes toward luxury?
Disruptions to our industry came a little later than disruptions in other industries, but we’re seeing the same kind of meta trend. It’s a shift from ownership. Traditionally clients would either buy a jet or buy a fraction of a jet. That’s moved to more on-demand models, similar to the model we employ, where clients only use a jet when they want to use it and they only want to pay for what they use.
The business model change has been probably the biggest one in the last three years. Accompanying that is how technology has grafted onto that, not to replace what is necessarily a high-touch experience—because by definition luxury is high-touch—but make it even better.
You’re participating in the sharing economy, but how are you approaching marketing differently than either other corporate jet companies or transport like Uber and Zipcar on the low end?
What is fresh about what we’re doing—and you can see with our latest campaign—is we’re trying to bring a more modern approach to talking to high-end clients about what is a luxury product. A more fresh, approachable way, seeing it through the point of view of the client who would use our product every day.
A lot of times luxury brands market almost two steps removed. We’re trying to bring it closer and make it that much more intimate.
On the flip side, on the lower end of the market you’re seeing a lot of new entrants that are trying to do what Uber is doing in the private jet industry. That’s fantastic for a certain segment of the market; but when you’re talking about sophisticated clients who fly a lot—just like with hotels and with other luxury products—they are going to want to have a human connection.
Speaking of technology, you launched a mobile site this year. Where does mobile fit into your marketing plan?
If you’re a travel brand, you want to be available to clients when they’re on the move, by definition. Where mobile helps us is by creating a more seamless interaction starting the conversation; but invariably, it always goes to a human on the other side of the conversation. Whether it’s requesting a flight or having a client profile that’s at the ready for our advisors or our client services team, we’re seeing it as an enabler, versus a replacement for that interaction.
Your mid-year report noted that you doubled your Facebook following. Where does social fit in with an upscale brand?
Social is interesting for high-net-worth (clients). Their social circles tend to be tighter, they’re more business partnerships, relationships, friends, family. As we think about the social platform it’s about engaging the community that surrounds that from an influencer or support function, or crews. There’s a whole community about aviation and loving aviation that we also speak to and nurture.
What’s next for XOJet? How is your new brand campaign different than the “Take Command” effort you launched in summer?
This is the next chapter in “Take Command.” With this new campaign we’ve created video ads that are really fresh, looking from the passenger’s point of view.
We worked with Walrus in New York to develop four video vignettes. In addition to digital, billboards are effective for us, particularly around airports, as well as print. But aside from that, we’re doing a lot more internally to create content that we’re distributing to our clients when they’re flying, our advisors are using it, as well as engaging editors and journalists around destinations.
A lot of what we’re doing on the back end is connecting our CRM system. I think Marketing Automation is a misnomer; I don’t think you could ever automate in high-net-worth, but find ways of creating a more intimate, one-to-one conversation with clients about topics that they’re interested in at the right time. That could either be about a kind of aircraft they’re interested in, or tips about a destination they are going to. We’re working on creating a portfolio of content that we can put out through our owned channels.
We’re working with travel writers to create content on destinations, curating lists of top restaurants and things to do in cities where our clients go, and engaging in communities and partnerships around client passion points—be it hobbies, golf, skiing or high performance sports. For us, in connecting with high-net-worth clients, it’s both what we’re saying from a communications standpoint, but also how we’re really connecting in their daily lives and being relevant.

Deal would make the largest fixed base operator in the world.
Signature Flight Support parent company BBA Aviation has agreed to purchase Landmark Aviation from affiliates of the Carlyle Group for $2.065 billion. Included in the deal are Landmark’s 68 FBOs in North America and Europe, and its MRO business, as well as its fleet of 64 charter aircraft and more than 50 other managed aircraft, which would give BBA its first involvement in the charter/management segment. The Landmark charter fleet is the fourth largest worldwide.
The transaction, subject to approval by regulators and company shareholders, is expected to close early next year.

“The acquisition would enable customers to benefit from an extension of Signature’s industry-leading service offering and its operational excellence across a much larger network of high-quality locations,” said BBA CEO Simon Pryce. “Combining Signature and Landmark Aviation also would realize significant cost synergies as well as substantial tax benefits.”
Signature operates 133 FBOs in its worldwide network, and there is currently redundancy at 12 airports in the U.S. and Europe, including Washington Dulles International, Teterboro, Westchester County, Le Bourget and London Luton where the two chains compete, which could lead to some required divestiture.

Chartering a private jet to China is easy, but flying privately between airports within the country can be challenging. To address this problem, the Swiss business-aviation provider VistaJet has partnered with China’s Apex Air to provide point-to-point private air service throughout the country in a Chinese-registered Bombardier Challenger 850 managed and operated by Apex. VistaJet is the first international aviation charter company to offer this service.
One of the largest charter operators worldwide, VistaJet has 47 heavy and long range jets for charter now in the US, Europe and China. The entire fleet and details are available only in FlightList PRO.
VistaJet officials say they plan to add at least one more China-based airplane later this year, and they will continue to expand the line to meet demand. The company has been working for months to secure all the partnerships and permissions required to launch the new service.
The Challenger 850 can carry up to 14 passengers—with berths for seven—at speeds up to 528 mph over a range of 3,230 miles.

Wheels Up Citation Excel XLS
The two pilots and five passengers aboard a chartered Wheels Up Citation Excel XLS had some anxious moments when the main cabin door opened in flight but didn’t detach from the aircraft.
The aircraft had just taken off from San Francisco International Airport on Aug. 6 for a flight to Drummond Island Airport in Michigan and was climbing through 2,000 feet when the door opened.
The air traffic control dialogue (edited by YouTube channel VASAviation) reveals the open door prevented the business jet from climbing and the pilot needed both hands to maintain control of the aircraft as he declares an emergency and asks to return to the airport. “I gotta hold the aircraft. We cannot climb…,” the pilot tells the controller as he asks for vectors and frequencies to make an instrument approach.
A short time later the aircraft came out of the clouds and the crew was able to make a visual approach. As the Citation turned base, a controller reported it only had one main landing gear but it turned out he mistook the hanging door for a gear leg. The gear worked normally and the crew made a safe landing on Runway 28R with emergency apparatus standing by.
The occupants evacuated the airplane on a taxiway. Wheels Up is a relatively new charter company that intends to build most of its business around a large fleet of King Airs but it started flying Citations in 2014.

John Sieckowski, president of Pittsburgh, Pa.-based aircraft charter and management firm Aircraft Management Group, took delivery of the first Citation Latitudes and is first available for charter.
Aircraft Management Group, Inc., a provider of aircraft management and consulting services, as well as private aircraft charter through their AMG Jets division, is eager to announce the addition of a 2015 Citation Latitude to their charter certificate.
Aircraft Management Group, Inc. is the first company in the world to have the Latitude available for charter. The aircraft will spend half of the year based out of KPIT (Pittsburgh International Airport) and the other half based in KPBI (Palm Beach International Airport).
The 9-passenger Citation Latitude jet boasts the most spacious and most refined cabin environment in the midsize jet category. At 77 inches wide, six feet tall and more than 21 feet long with a flat floor, and stand up cabin, the Latitude was built for comfort.
The Latitude is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney PW306D engines that will power it to a projected speed of just over 440 knots. Its range is 2,850 nm, and its runway takeoff distance is a remarkable 3,668 feet.
“What’s appealing is that it’s got the amenities of larger aircraft but the flexibility to fly into short fields with trans-continental range” said John Sieckowski, President and Owner of Aircraft Management Group, Inc. “That appeals to a lot of customers.”
AMG has grown exponentially since they received their Air Carrier Certificate in 2009 with no sign of slowing down. Including the Latitude, AMG has added three aircraft to their Part 135 certificate in 2015. In total, AMG operates six aircraft including two Beechjet 400As, two Hawker 400XP’s, a Citation CJ3 and now the Citation Latitude.
“With the addition of the Latitude, we expect to expand our customer base by being able to offer flights to the west coast and Europe” said Shannon Pennypacker, Director of Charter Sales and Marketing.
All 6 of AMG’s charter jets are available ONLY in FlightList PRO.

JFI Jets, a global leader in private jet charter, aircraft management and maintenance, has begun providing on-demand charter service to Cuba from its aircraft bases in Southern, and Northern California, the New York metropolitan area Wilmington, Delaware and throughout the United States.
“Few private charter carriers have the necessary certifications to fly to Cuba presently and even fewer have the local knowledge and contacts on the ground that are key to executing a flawless trip,” says David J. Rimmer, president of JFI Jets, adding, “at JFI we have both. We can provide a level of convenience, customer service and expertise that is unparalleled in the private jet charter industry.”
While JFI Jets has all of the necessary clearances to land in Cuba, at the present time U.S. citizens are required to comply with U.S. Government restrictions for Cuban travel, which are outlined on the U.S. Treasury Fact Sheet. Flights to Cuba must also originate from U.S. Government-designated gateway cities.
Rimmer encouraged booking as early as possible to ensure availability, saying. “Our first flight on the heels of Secretary of State Kerry raising the flag at the U.S. Embassy in Havana recently was perfect.”

OneJet is taking the next step in building its scheduled charter network with the addition of a route between its Indianapolis International Airport base and Nashville International Airport in Tennessee. OneJet, which offers service under Part 135 with DOT Part 380 economic authority, plans to add the new route beginning September 8 with flights from Indianapolis to Nashville in the morning and returning to Indianapolis in the late afternoon.
Pentastar Aviation Charter, Inc. earlier this year was named the direct air carrier for OneJet, a provider of regional scheduled nonstop flights in the Eastern U.S.
Based at KMKE Milwaukee General Mitchell International Airport and KIND Indianapolis International Airport, OneJet began service on April 6, 2015. Pentastar Aviation Charter, Inc. operates a fleet of Hawker 400 aircraft on behalf of OneJet.
The addition of Nashville follows the introduction of flights to Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Memphis earlier this year. The company uses three Hawker 400XPs for the service, with Pentastar Aviation operating the flights. OneJet said its load factors have increased to about 80-percent network-wide. “The addition of Nashville as a destination city is part of OneJet’s multi-phase expansion plan to grow our network of nonstop regional travel,” OneJet CEO Matthew Maguire said. “Nashville has been one of the key destinations demanded by both Indianapolis corporate and community leadership.” OneJet added that it already has received a strong reception, with companies such as Crowe Horwath booking.
Matthew Maguire, OneJet Chief Executive Officer, continued: “To-date, OneJet has surpassed its 1000th passenger carried, serving the frequent business traveler as well as becoming a preferred vendor to numerous Fortune 500 companies. As we allocate additional capacity to our focus cities over the course of this coming year, and from those points to an increasing number of destinations, OneJet will continue to expand its network to deliver nonstop service in regional air markets across the country.”
OneJet plans to continue adding locations, with more announcements anticipated over the next year. The company is targeting markets within a 500- to 1,000-mile range that have strong local corporate bases and have “a meaningful demand to the other points already in the market.”
