The safety of our passengers, crew, and aircraft is our top priority. That’s why JetSuite is the only light jet charter company in the world with In-Flight, Real-Time Satellite Weather Mapping and Safe Taxi Technology installed on every plane, giving our pilots the best possible situational awareness. JetSuite’s fleet is the youngest of any branded operator in the US and receives heavy maintenance from manufacturers Embraer, Pratt & Whitney; Cessna; and Williams International. All pilots are captain certified at FlightSafety International or CAE in full-motion Level D simulators. Moreover, our seasoned pilots average over 8,000 hours of flight time, and all are type rated and hold Airline Transport Pilot Certificates. JetSuite’s rest limits are more restrictive than the FAA’s revised Pilot Flight and Duty Time rules, ensuring that our pilots and mechanics are well rested whenever they are on duty. In addition, the FAA’s 2012 & 2013 Diamond Awards of Excellence and NATA’s 2012 & 2013 Five Star Awards were bestowed upon JetSuite for the achievements of the company’s highly regarded maintenance department, and 14 JetSuite pilots recently received NBAA’s Flying Safety Award for exceptional achievement in maintaining safe flying operations. And as you would expect, JetSuite is rated PLATINUM, the highest safety rating achievable in civil aviation, from independent safety auditors ARG/US. The ARG/US Platinum rating is widely recognized as the ultimate acknowledgement of excellence in operational practices and flight safety standards, and it is the highest-level safety audit rating in private aviation. JetSuite’s ranking puts it among a small, prestigious group of Platinum-rated operators. During the rigorous ARG/US audit, JetSuite was commended for top industry managers well exceeding FAA requirements, flight operations standards that exceed industry norms, modern and immaculate aircraft, a highly qualified pilot workforce, and stringent pilot hiring standards. ©©2013 2014 JetSuiteJetSuite || jetsuite.com JetSuite.com /04 MEET THE FLEET JetSuite’s four-passenger, WiFi-equipped Embraer Phenom 100s offer best in class performance, with speeds up to 450 miles per hour, an operating ceiling of 41,000 feet, an interior cabin that seats four comfortably, and the largest baggage compartment in its category.
