Jet Membership Firm To Fly GIVs on NYC-LA Route
ClipperJet Services is launching member flights between Los Angeles and New York City in Gulfstream IVs.

Orange County, Calif.-based ClipperJet Services is now selling memberships in its Part 135 on-demand charter service aimed at premium-seat commuters flying between New York City and Los Angeles. “For $9,700–about the cost of one round-trip premium flight from New York to Los Angeles–someone can buy a membership on ClipperJet and have four one-way flights, in addition to access to an unlimited number of 24-hour standby flights each month,” said ClipperJet CEO James Occhipinti.

Corporate memberships cost $14,700 a month and include six one-way flights for one employee, plus unlimited standby. More than one ClipperJet member can share transport on the flights between Van Nuys or Burbank, Calif., and New York. Catering, TSA pre-clearance, VIP lounges and limo services are wrapped into the membership benefits.

ClipperJet has secured funding for an initial pair of Gulfstream IVs configured with 14 captain’s chairs. The aircraft will have distinctive paint schemes, but no logo, the company told AIN. FBO partners have not yet been determined, it said. Once memberships are established and the Los Angeles-New York route is functioning, other routes will be announced, the company added.
