To Be Used In Charter And Managed Fleets
Chartright Air Group and Diamond Aircraft announced a major
order Wednesday for the Diamond D-Jet personal jet to complement
Chartright's existing fleet of large business jets. Chartright has
ordered 10 D-Jet aircraft with its first delivery to begin in the
third quarter of 2010. These aircraft will be available for
Chartright's charter and managed aircraft customers.
"The D-Jet is intended to provide the most desirable and
attainable jet to a broad range of pilot and non-pilot air
travelers, combining the executive cabin class seating comfort of
much more expensive business jets with the lowest possible
acquisition and operating cost," said Peter Maurer, President of
Diamond Aircraft. "We are excited that a company with Chartright's
experience and capability has selected the D-Jet for its growing
fleet, as this will enable more people to experience the
time-savings and other benefits of personal jet travel."
"For the past 20 years, Chartright has provided exclusive
private jet travel to a discriminating clientele," said Adam
Keller, President of Chartright Air Group. "The D-Jet will allow
Chartright to expand this service offering to market segments that
have not previously experienced the time and security benefits of
this method of flying."
Operated from Toronto, Ontario, Chartright forecasts the D-Jet
will serve destinations such as New York, Montreal or Philadelphia,
in less than two hours -- an elapsed time that includes check-in,
security and customs.
A typical private jet charter to one of these destinations would
cost between $10,000 and $15,000 round trip. The D-Jet will
accomplish the same mission for less than $4,000, Chartright
expects.
Chartright has begun offering its fleet of D-Jet aircraft to
businesses and individuals interested in charter and managed
aircraft with its announcement and presence at the Canadian
Business Aviation Association Convention and Trade Show this week
in Toronto. Chartright also has featured the D-Jet in its 2008
Chartright Aircraft Guide, published earlier in 2008.
