HONG KONG– Metrojet announces its appointment as the exclusive operator by Asia Jet for the Asia Jet Card Program, a private jet card that delivers the safety and service of private jet ownership with only a prepaid commitment and without requiring any membership fee. Metrojet is appointed to comprehensively manage all aspects of Asia Jet's fleet and provide maintenance and flight operations services including aircraft scheduling and flight planning, flight and cabin crew management, and flight dispatching.

Asia Jet Cardmembers will be entitled to availability to the Asia Jet fleet while also having access to Metrojet's fleet of business jets under its Air Operator’s Certificate. Cardmembers will have access to a fully managed fleet without operational and acquisition responsibilities which include hiring and training flight crews, flight scheduling, and aircraft maintenance. The Asia Jet Cardmembers prepaid balance covers all per flight costs. Hourly flight charges and associated handling fees are debited from the Cardmembers prepaid balances each time they fly.

"The Asia Jet Card concept is a unique product that broadens the market for premium private jet travel. Metrojet is delighted to be appointed to operate Asia Jet's state-of-the-art fleet under our AOC and to manage all aspects of flight operations and aircraft maintenance for Asia Jet Cardmembers who can enjoy Metrojet's superior flight standards, our impeccable cabin service, and our much acclaimed comprehensive maintenance," says Chris Buchholz, CEO of Metrojet Limited.

"With an Asia Jet Card in their wallet our Cardmembers can just pay for what they need and enjoy a better balance between business and personal time commitments," says Justin Lee Firestone, Founder and CEO of Asia Jet Partners.
