BANGKOK-based luxury private jet company Jaras Aviation has recently launched its inaugural flight to Hua Hin, paving the way for such charter services to other domestic and regional destinations.
Providing a private jet charter service on a Cessna 550 Citation Bravo business jet on domestic and international flight routes with a maximum range of four and a half hours, Jaras Aviation can fly to Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as emerging business and tourism destinations in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Indonesia.
The seven-seat jet aircraft model has a top speed of 734km per hour, a range of 3,520km and a ceiling height of 13.7km. Chartering the Cessna 550 Citation Bravo costs US$3,500 per hour, excluding ground handling costs and other services such as special F&B requests.
Owner of Jaras Aviation, Jaraspim Liptapanlop, said: “We are focusing on executives of large corporations, high net-worth individuals and international business travellers who we believe can greatly benefit from our service as it offers a level of personalised exclusivity and efficiency in travel for business or social purposes that is not possible through regular air travel.”
“With the ASEAN Economic Cooperation grouping set to achieve full integration in 2015, we strongly believe that the frequency of travel and the need for timing flexibility for businessmen will increase tremendously in the ASEAN region. This will have a positive impact for not just the private jet industry but also for Thai business people and businesses located in Thailand.”
Jaras has partnered with MJETS, a private jet service operator in Thailand, and Thai Flying Services.
