XOJET Reduces Fuel Surcharge for On-Demand Flights
Last update: 10:00 a.m. EDT Sept. 12, 2008
SAN CARLOS, Calif., Sep 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- XOJET-- one of the world's fastest growing private aviation companies, built on a unique business model that combines private jet ownership, leasing and on-demand travel -- announced it has reduced by 9% the fuel surcharge for on-demand flights that it put in place in the wake of record-high oil prices. The reduction will save clients approximately $1000 on the cost of a round trip transcontinental flight.
"XOJET has done something that is essentially unprecedented -- lowering a fuel charge after it's been implemented," said Adam Komack, chief marketing officer for XOJET. "For us, the decision is simple. A surcharge is a necessity to offset costs that are out of our control; it should never be confused with a revenue stream or a means of nickel and diming clients. If the price of oil goes down, the surcharge should be reduced as well."
The reduction is effective immediately.
