Among Incentives Is A Waiver Of Early Termination Fees On
Existing Contracts
Flexjet is launching a fractional jet ownership sales program
for Bombardier’s Learjet 85 aircraft as the
manufacturer’s first customer. Designed from a clean sheet,
the all-new Learjet 85 aircraft is the first FAR Part 25 certified
business jet with both fuselage and wing built primarily from
carbon composites and features the latest advances in aerodynamics,
structures and efficiency to usher in a new class of performance
and comfort.
Artist's Concept
To ensure new and current owners a seamless transition to the
Learjet 85 aircraft upon its anticipated delivery in 2013, Flexjet
is offering guaranteed access and availability to its elite
fractional ownership program fleet of Flexjet aircraft—the
youngest in the industry with an average age of approximately four
years. As an added benefit for existing owners who place a deposit
on a Learjet 85 aircraft fractional share, Flexjet will waive early
termination fees for existing contracts on other aircraft types
that will not expire until after the delivery of the Learjet 85
aircraft.
“Flexjet is thrilled to offer its owners the first
opportunity to experience private aviation at its very best aboard
the all-new Learjet 85 aircraft,” said Fred Reid, President,
Flexjet. “Designed to fly farther than any Learjet aircraft
ever built, this new aircraft lives up to its legendary lineage
while setting a new standard for passenger comfort.”
The composite structures of the Learjet 85 aircraft allows the
use of complex curves in the aircraft cross-section and thinner
wall thickness to maximize cabin volume, creating the largest
Learjet aircraft ever designed. The airframe, made mostly of
composite material, requires less maintenance and is easier to
repair for an extended service life, along with improving
performance and minimizing drag through smoother aerodynamics.
Other innovations include the aircraft’s Pratt & Whitney
Canada PW307B turbofan engine, the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion
avionics suite—one of the most advanced flight displays ever
offered onboard a midsize aircraft—and an advanced
entertainment and wireless Internet system.
