"Spectrums aircraft provide incredibl e fuel efficiency with the style and pizzazz our clients crave," says Jet Source, which plans to appeal to its target markets through a fractional-ownership program , an owner-pilot club and travel cards. The fractional offering will be available through one-eighth shares, representing 100 flight hours annually. Each flight will include a professionally trained crew with complete operational support. The owner's club incorporates transition pilot training and a "members only" flying club, again with one-eighth ownership options. The travel card offering allows clients a prepaid program starting at 25 hours for use up to six times per year using a future Spectrum fleet of aircraft flown by professional crews. Options will exist to upgrade to larger or longer range aircraft available within the Jet Source fleet, according to the company.
