Magellan Jets

Magellan Jets is a private aviation company that arranges jet charter, jet cards, fractional ownership and aircraft management. It was founded in Boston and is rooted in New England. The company is privately owned, profitable and carries no debt. It does not own or operate aircraft, and every flight is sourced from operators in its network.

Its jet cards give guaranteed access 365 days a year with no blackout dates and fixed, all inclusive pricing. Cards are sold in customizable 25 hour increments. Clients choose 25, 50 or 100 hour tiers, with hourly rates starting at $7,800, $7,645 and $7,330. The company says cards are refundable at any time, and client funds are never commingled.

On demand charter matches each trip to an aircraft from the company's preferred network. The network has fewer than 100 vetted operators, out of 3,000 licensed in the US. Jet card holders can choose a category card, which lets them fly any aircraft within a category, or a premium card for one aircraft type such as the Phenom 300, Challenger 350 or Gulfstream G450 or G550.

Advantage Routes offer preferred pricing on high demand corridors, starting at the 50 hour tier. Examples on the site include Boston to Palm Beach, Dallas to Washington DC and Los Angeles to New York. Specialty requests include helicopters and medical transport. The company also coordinates ground transportation and catering.

Safety is described as the cornerstone of operations. Members of the leadership team serve on the Air Charter Safety Foundation Board. The company says its Safety Management System exceeds industry standards. Its jet cards are described as meeting WYVERN Wingman certified safety standards.

Magellan Jets has been privately owned by its founders since 2008. The company reports a 4.9 out of 5 satisfaction rating, an average NPS score of 90, and says it has flown to more than 100 countries. Account holders can search, compare and confirm charters in its app.

The company also helps clients buy aircraft and manage existing aircraft. Magellan Jets for Business works as an extension of a flight department and coordinates multi aircraft travel. Fractional owners get access to the full portfolio of solutions and a Private Aviation Advisor for every detail.
