Fractional M&A's

[corpflunkie]

Mergers...Acquisitions...merging of pilot lists??? Come on Cherry!

Someone is paying attention.

Why is it that every time there are rumors of m&a's, xo is the one in the center of the rumor?

Serious question, no flamebait.

Good question (seriously). XOJet is a small operation and not sure where the global conquest ideas originate.

Not knocking XO. I think they've got a descent concept but it's only a 25'ish airplane operator.

Because they are a PR machine and think it helps their business. Nobody wants to be considered irrelevant.

no flamebait.

Shared a van to the HGI with a Flexjet crew last night. They seemed convinced that Netjets is going to buy Flexjet so that they can get the Global Express. Said that there was a Netjets-sponsored static display up in Montreal recently that featured the Global.

Personally, I like what was said earlier about combining XOJet with Avantair. The types compliment each other perfectly.

Now, if we could just retrofit those Challengers with some props...[/QUOTE]

Pushers, of course!

They're actually UDFs (UnDuctedFans)

XO and Avantair makes a lot of sense. In my opinion they both have the best products for their missions. I would bet a beer that XO has approached Avantair. Thats exactly the market share XO wants. XO is a lot smaller than Avantair its a quick way to grow and gain share. Don't be surprised if this happens

Well there ya go. Confirmed by management.

Who avantairowner? Or you heard from your company mgmt?

The problem I see is, an avantair owner isn't going to want to pay for the upgrade to a cl300 or a X, and a normal XO client isn't going to get into a catfish looking prop plane for a shorter trip.

But who knows, I've been wrong before.

Many Avantair owners already have shares and cards at other compaines for longer trips or trips with more passengers. It would simply allow the owners to stay with one company. I personally flew one last week who has a flex 300 share or card which he actually uses on his same normal flight - just when he wants to take more than a few people.
