CITATIONAIR EXPANDS U.S. SERVICE AREA

6/28/2011

For the First Time, CitationAir® Offers Private Air Travel to Hawaii.

Greenwich, CT, June 28, 2011 – CitationAir by Cessna®, a leader in private jet transportation solutions, today announced the addition of Hawaii to its U.S. service area.  This addition underscores the continued growth that CitationAir has been experiencing in recent months.

The private jet service to Hawaii is available to all CitationAir customers including Jet Card, Jet Access, Jet Shares, Jet Management and Corporate Solutions customers.  For a guaranteed price, customers have access to an all-inclusive, round-trip service that includes the cost of the aircraft, fuel, landing fees and taxes for travel on a Cessna Citation X or equivalent aircraft from San Francisco or Van Nuys, California to any approved Hawaii destination for up to six passengers.  CitationAir can also arrange service from other departure airports and in larger aircraft types at different rates. All flights are backed by CitationAir’s high standards of quality and service.

With this service area expansion, CitationAir is now better able to accommodate its customers’ travel needs.  Hawaii, a premiere luxury vacation destination in the United States, is highly popular among CitationAir’s leisure travelers.

“By extending our U.S. service area to include Hawaii, we are now able to provide our customers with a more complete range of travel throughout the United States,” said Steve O’Neill, CitationAir’s President and CEO.  “We understand our clients’ travel needs and are constantly working to adapt and grow our product and service offerings to accommodate those needs.  Adding Hawaii to our service area seemed like a natural step to take.”

Over the past several months, CitationAir has continued to grow and expand its offerings and services significantly.  In addition to expanding the U.S. service area to include Hawaii, the company has extended its Jet Access program to Europe and the Middle East, formed several new strategic alliances to benefit current CitationAir customers, and invited back all eighty-five pilots placed on furlough during the economic recession.
