Encore Aviation’s Revolutionary “Aviation Country Club” Will Bring Better Options at Lower Cost

Carlsbad, CA, October 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In spite of the drubbing that business aviation receives in the general press, a rebirth is coming. Private aviation already offers compelling advantages in comfort, convenience, and flexibility; but it is a very costly service. Especially in today’s economy, new forms of service, delivery, and pricing models will be required to attract new customers needed to jumpstart growth. Since the existing charter industry is very fragmented and loosely managed, there is much room for improvement. The net result will be lower prices, better service, and increased use of private aviation. “Encore Aviation has the innovative programs and pricing necessary to fuel this rebirth with our “Aviation Country Club” “concept”, says President and CEO Douglas Derryberry.

To be successful, private aviation needs new business models. A number of entrepreneurs have tried variations on the charter business with fractional ownership, air taxi, internet marketing, jet cards, and many others. In view of the inefficient aircraft schedules produced by most air charter operators, new methods are especially needed for scheduling and logistics management. Success in these areas will allow price points to drop, enabling further growth.

The business model that stands out as the most ground-breaking and price conscious is the “Aviation Country Club” of Encore Aviation, Inc. This distinctive model is a hybrid between charter and fractional ownership that allows members to utilize the various aircraft in the fleet. Created in the spirit of a country club, one-time refundable memberships are available in the light category starting at $258,750.

“The result of our business model in the marketplace will be more choices and more convenience for travelers”, Derryberry continues. “That can only enhance the value of private aviation in the economy”.
