14-Jun-2010 CitationAir by Cessna, a leader in private jet transportation solutions, today announced an exclusive relationship with British Airways, the United Kingdom’s largest carrier, to offer premium travel benefits to passengers on both sides of the Atlantic.

The newly launched PrivateConnect™ service will provide British Airways customers access to CitationAir's entire fleet of Cessna Citation aircraft, offered at a pay-per-hour rate with no contract or long-term commitment.

As part of the new association, CitationAir customers will receive complimentary chauffeured transportation from the FBO to the British Airways terminal when flying internationally on BA.

Steve O'Neill, CitationAir's Founder and CEO, said: "CitationAir's focus is to align with like-minded, world-class organizations that share our passion for excellence and our high standards for extraordinary customer experience. We are extremely pleased to be launching this new program with British Airways and look forward to extending our offering to their customers."

PrivateConnect will be available to British Airways Executive Club members, passengers who have flown the airline in the previous 12 months, and organizations that hold a corporate account with the airline. All trips going to or from a British Airways flight will include escorted transportation from the British Airways terminal to the CitationAir aircraft, or vice versa.

Robert Boyle, British Airways' Director of Strategy and Business Units, said: "Now we can offer our customers a seamless service to fly when they want and where they want, to almost any destination within the United States, Caribbean, southern Canada and Mexico in the luxury and privacy of their very own private jet, provided by CitationAir and the Cessna Aircraft Company, both leaders in the private jet industry."

CitationAir, which has been recognized by Robb Report as "Best of the Best" in Flight Services for seven consecutive years, offers a full complement of products from Jet Cards and Jet Shares, to Jet Management and Corporate Solutions.
