Jet card questions
Is the card a share of an aircraft?
No. You prepay hours with Aerelle, and we supply an aircraft from inspected operators. You own nothing and carry none of the aircraft’s costs.
What counts as a flown hour?
Time from wheels-up to wheels-down, rounded to 6 minutes. Positioning flights, waiting time on the ground and de-icing are not counted.
Can a company hold a card?
Yes. Companies usually move to an enterprise program above 100 hours a year, with approval rules and one monthly invoice.
What if I need a larger jet once?
Fly one category up and pay the difference in hourly rate on the hours flown. You do not need to change the card.
Can I share the card with family?
Yes. You can name up to four additional members. You stay the account holder and receive every statement.
What happens to unused hours?
They roll onto a renewed card, or you can ask for a refund within the 24 months, less a 5% handling fee.
