A Long term InJet Light Jet 25 Member (Member Since 2007) was at a board meeting in Jacksonville, FL. He was scheduled on Commercial to depart Jacksonville for return to his summer home in Burlington, Vermont in time for his Grand Daughter’s Dance Recital on Thursday night.
There was a mechanical problem with the aircraft which caused a delay and subsequent cancellation of the flight. The delay alone was going to force this member to miss his connection in La Guardia and therefore miss his granddaughter’s recital. He immediately calls the person at InJet whose voice he always recognizes, the guy that doesn’t have to ask what kind of aircraft he likes, or what his favorite sandwhich is, his go-to guy. InJet immediately within 1 hour and 20 minutes of his phone call launched an aircraft to pick him up out of Jacksonville and fly him on to Burlington, VT non-stop.
This InJet Light Jet member got a complimentary upgrade to a Hawker 800A and made it up to Burlington 1 hour and 15 minutes before he would have landed, had his commercial flight departed on time. More time with his granddaughter – the moments add up.
Just an example that ROI is not just measure in $$$
P.S Did we mention that we used private aircraft to help adopt his other granddaughter back in 2006. Another InJet Success Story

As of September 1st, 2009
The Eagle County Airport in Vail, CO (EGE) is now open again for aircraft traffic after a $40 Million resurfacing and runway extension. Eagle County officials just completed a 1000ft extension to runway 07/25 to 9000ft in length. The completion of this extension occurs in time for this years upcoming Ski Season.
This runway modification makes Eagle a great option for our clients flying into Aspen, Rifle and outlying ski areas given its runway length and airport location. With the current extension most aircraft can make the usual Northeast /New York and South East /Florida Airports non-stop 95% of the time.
Seasoned Private Jet Fliers are all to aware that flying in and out of Aspen for example poses some safety concerns due to it’s location. Especialy due to Aircraft performance and the ability to make the departure climb requirements. Therefore only Citation X’s or larger can make it non-stop to the East Coast safely. The new runway at Eagle virtually elimates these concerns thus making it a safer option for travel in and out of the Colorado Ski Area. InJet members can now enjoy non-stop flights on Lear 60’s, Hawker 800’s and most midsize aircraft as well.
InJet will be posting the dates for this year’s Mountain Ski Area Slot Requirements as soon as they are posted. Stay Tuned!
