			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://expensive.name/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/xojet_less_than_fractionals.jpg" alt="XOJET - More efficient than fractionals" align="right" border="0" height="248" hspace="10" width="188" /><strong>Have you ever seen a <a href="http://citationx.cessna.com/" title="Cessna Citation X" target="_blank">Cessna Citation X</a>, from up close?</strong></p>
<p>If you decide to become a client with <a href="http://xojet.com/" title="XOJET" target="_blank">XOJET</a>, you&#8217;ll be seeing a whole lot of them since that&#8217;s the only plane model the private aviator has (although it&#8217;s planning to buy the ultra-spacious <a href="http://www.bombardier.com/index.jsp?id=3_0&amp;lang=en&amp;file=/en/3_0/3_2/3_2_4/3_2_4.jsp" title="Bombardier Challenger 300" target="_blank">Bombardier Challenger 300</a> model, starting next year).</p>
<p><em>Why would a private aviation service that&#8217;s the talk of the industry operate a single class of aircraft? To cut down costs — and it works, big time!</em></p>
<p>So you&#8217;re tired of waiting for hours on end for your plane to arrive and then take off? If you fly over 100 hours a year, XOJET may be the answer to the commercial airlines&#8217; colossal time wasting habits.</p>
<p>Furthermore, flying with up to 11 other clients per aircraft is a whole different experiences than being crammed into a commercial flight with hundreds of other strangers. One could say it&#8217;s a lot more fun and the in-flight service is much easier to get a hold of.</p>
<p>While fractionals are inherently restrictive because they link users with a specific number of hours corresponding to the size of their share, if you&#8217;re still looking for more thoughful alternatives, you&#8217;ll be happy to learn that XOJET doesn&#8217;t sell shares, at all -and- they don&#8217;t allow more than 3 clients per jet (which yields more flexibility).</p>
<p>XOJET clients get a 20% overflight allowance built into their contracts and in the event they need more hours, they simply pay for them (extra) as they go along.</p>
<p><img src="http://expensive.name/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/xojet_quality_control.jpg" alt="XOJET - Quality control" align="right" border="0" height="248" hspace="10" width="188" />To this day, XOJET boasts an on-time departure rate that&#8217;s north of 99% which exemplifies, once more, the proverbial &#8220;other end of the rainbow&#8221; compared to commercial airlines. Clients are garanteed aircraft on just a 12 hours notice and top clients (flying 400 hours of more per year) are garanteed multiple aircrafts on a single day which comes in handy when, for instance, the CEO goes to New York and the CTO goes to San Francisco.</p>
<p>So all this brings us back to XOJET cutting down the cost, up to 40% compared to the runners up, because, over and above the aforementioned strategies, the private aviator charters unused flights so this brings in revenue to pay for ground and crew costs while significantly driving down the cost of &#8220;membership&#8221; for clients.</p>
<p>Apparently, a lot of people like the way XOJET thinks about the whole private aviation value proposition since the company is expected to double its 2006 revenues of 36M$.</p>
<p><em>Furthermore, the company recently announced the purchase of 2,5 billion dollars worth of new aircraft, which will bring its fleet to 127 planes, by 2012.</em></p>
<p><strong>XOJET is proof that innovation in the air travel industry can make a huge difference, in this particular case, equally beneficial for the private aviator -and- its clients.</strong></p>
