British Airways (BA) and CitationAir by Cessna, a private jet transportation provider, have launched PrivateConnect, a new service that will provide BA customers with access to CitationAir’s entire fleet of Cessna Citation aircraft, offered at a pay-per-hour rate with no contract or long-term commitment. As part of the new association, CitationAir customers will receive complimentary chauffeured transportation from the FBO to the British Airways terminal when flying internationally on BA.
“CitationAir’s focus is to align with like-minded, world-class organizations that share our passion for excellence and our high standards for extraordinary customer experience,” said Steve O’Neill, CitationAir’s founder and CEO. “We are extremely pleased to be launching this new program with British Airways and look forward to extending our offering to their customers.”
PrivateConnect will be available to BA Executive Club members, passengers who have flown the airline in the previous 12 months, and organizations that hold a corporate account with the airline. All trips going to or from a BA flight will include escorted transportation from the British Airways terminal to the CitationAir aircraft, or vice versa. “Now we can offer our customers a seamless service to fly when they want and where they want to almost any destination within the United States, Caribbean, southern Canada and Mexico in the luxury and privacy of their very own private jet,” said Robert Boyle, BA’s director of strategy and business units.
