Private Aviation with CoGoJets
By LISA ZAHRAN
Savvy air travelers can now skip the long queues, flight
delays, stopovers and other headaches like lost baggage or flight
cancellations, all while enjoying the luxurious amenities and privacy of a
private jet.
CoGoJets is now making traveling by private jet easily accessible
through their innovative online, member-based, social networking website to
share a private jet.
CoGoJets
founder and CEO Jamie Walker (pictured above) says he saw an opportunity to provide a more
fiscally minded and environmentally responsible means of private jet travel
after observing half-empty aircraft flying all over the U.S. everyday.
"Even clients who can
easily afford to fly private have been asking for a shared flight program,"
says Walker.
"All people need is a
place to meet and coordinate before booking a jet. CoGoJets provides the place
and the online tools to align people’s travel schedules."
Members can search for other travelers and mutually agree on
itineraries, sharing the cost of travel, allowing customers to save from 50-90 percent
off the retail cost of private jet travel. Additionally, CoGoJets offers its
members a way to offset their flight's carbon footprint.
Members can voluntarily donate to the
CoGoEco Program, on an individual flight basis, through a Flight Carbon
Calculator built into the website. All proceeds go to Sustainable Travel
International, a nonprofit organization committed to reducing the global environmental impact of
travel and tourism.
CoGoJets members can now start connecting and booking flights
through www.CoGoJets.com. Founding memberships start at US$500, an 80 percent
discount off the annual membership fee of US$2,500. Membership gives access to
share Light Jet, Midsize Jet and Heavy Jet flights.
