Flexjet joined other companies in Directional Aviation’s $1 billion portfolio including Flight Options, Sentient Jet and Skyjet. Mr. Ricci realigned the vision of Flexjet, focusing it on the luxury fractional ownership experience, and steering it on a course toward becoming a leading luxury brand known for world-class service while committing to investments in new aircraft, facilities and technology. As it celebrated the 20th anniversary of its founding in 2015, Flexjet has fulfilled its initial promise, becoming one of the world’s leading providers of private jet travel. 4 FLEXJET MEDIA KIT 20 YEARS OF AERONAUTICAL MILESTONES 1995 1998 2000 › › › Founded jointly by Bombardier AMR Combs division of AMR Corp Entered the charter market Aerospace Group and AMR Combs withdrew from the partnership and upon Bombardier’s acquisition division of AMR Corp (the parent Bombardier took sole ownership of Skyjet, the online charter company of American Airlines) as booking pioneer one of the first fractional providers 2014 2013 2009 › › › Placed open order of 50 Acquired by Directional Aviation Launched Learjet 85 program Gulfstream aircraft, including Placed open order of 265 the G450, G500 and G650 Bombardier jets, including Challenger, Learjet and Global Express aircraft, at a potential value of $5.6 billion 2015 2015 › › Launched Red Label offering with Ordered Embraer Legacy dedicated flight crews, artisan 450 midsize aircraft interiors and the youngest fleet in the fractional industry 6 2003 2004 › › Launched Versatility Plus™ Launched extended service program, offering Owners program to include Europe a marketplace in which to buy and Hawaii and sell excess fractional hours 2008 2006 › › Launched Carbon Offset program Launched Flexjet 25 jet card, with multiple options for travelers 2015 2016 › › Ordered 20 Aerion AS2 Opened first Flexjet-exclusive aircraft, the world’s first private terminal in Naples, Florida supersonic business jet FLEXJET MEDIA KIT ABOUT THE FLEXJET FLEET Flexjet has the youngest fleet in the fractional industry, with an average age of 6 years fleet wide.
