Description:
low cost jet charter.
I have figured a way to do roundtrip flights to Vegas for $1000, Scottsdale $1000-1500 per person using the Eclipse 500 or a Phenom 100.
I will lease the jet.
For insurance reasons I will hire more experienced pilots on a contract and/or part-time basis, rather than having me fly. I may become a first officer/co-pilot later if we add more jets.
I'm looking for someone to loan me $150,000 up front, then total about $600,000 for a 6 month startup test. It will take 6 months to 2 years to get an FAA 135 charter approved in my opinion.
