Air Partner, a world renowned aircraft charter provider, and CitationAir by Cessna, an industry-leading private jet transportation solutions company based in the US, announced the formation of a strategic alliance.

Through this newly-formed alliance:

• Air Partner will look after CitationAir’s Jet Card customers flying privately in Europe. CitationAir clients can access Air Partner’s JetCard service for flights within Europe at a fixed, all-inclusive price with guaranteed aircraft availability on a trip-by-trip basis.
• CitationAir is Air Partner’s preferred private jet supplier for its JetCard clients travelling in North America. Under the agreement, Air Partner JetCard customers now have guaranteed access to a young fleet of 80 Cessna aircraft when travelling within CitationAir’s North American service area.

“This important relationship with another leading aviation company further strengthens the Air Partner brand and is in line with our strategy to continue to develop our products and services globally,” said Mark Briffa, Air Partner CEO. “CitationAir shares our commitment to superior quality and customer service and we are delighted to have been selected by the company to look after their clients in Europe. At the same time, our clients have the additional benefit of private travel throughout CitationAir’s service area that matches the high quality experience they have come to expect from Air Partner.”

Steve O’Neill, CitationAir’s Founder and CEO, said: “This alliance is the latest example of our strategy to bolster our customer base and significantly expand our geographic service area by teaming with like-minded, world-class organisations that share the company’s passion for excellence and its high standards for extraordinary customer service and safety. At CitationAir, our focus is to provide our customers with an unrivalled, high-quality personal travel experience. By aligning with Air Partner, we are very excited to provide a seamless transportation solution that allows our customers access to Europe, with the level of service to which they are accustomed.”

CitationAir’s parent company is Cessna Aircraft Company, one of the world’s largest and most reputable manufacturers of business jets.
