George J. Priester Aviation has expanded its customisable jet card programme, the 1945 Card, to include all company brands.

“Answering nationwide demand for greater charter flexibility”, the card programme expansion offers custom pricing to fit each client’s mission profile, available for flights on any the company’s family of brands.

“The 1945 Card meets the needs of the individual better than other charter options,” said Rustin King, National Charter Sales Director. “Travelers discover greater flexibility with no blackout days or peak-day surcharges. They’re easily scheduling an elevated flight experience, while locking in cost certainty that works well with their specific mission.”

The 1945 Card is available starting at a 25-hour option, and offers users guaranteed availability, point-to-point pricing and fixed hourly rate costs. Other advantages for 1945 Card holders include no repositioning costs, easy reloading and transparent accounting.

Individuals will be able to purchase and use the 1945 Card within each regional base for the 80 aircraft operated nationwide by Priester Aviation, Mayo Aviation and Hill Private Aviation.

Named for the year that George J. Priester founded his namesake aviation services company, the 1945 Card serves as the “foundation of the modern organisation” the company is today.
