Meridian is ARG/US Gold rated, and has an impeccable safety record. Meridian Air Charter�s business aviation roots go back to 1946, while its charter services started in 1958. Last year the company broke ground on a new 33,000 sq. ft. terminal at Teterboro Airport with an Art Deco-inspired passenger complex that houses passenger facilities, aircraft management, maintenance, acquisition, sales, and charter. Phase two of their expansion will include a new 40,000 sq. ft. aircraft hangar and expanded ramp space. �We are very pleased to add Meridian Air Charter, the leader in air charter service in metro-New York, to our system. With increasing demand for charters out of this area from sophisticated executives and their travel planners, Meridian Air Charter is a valuable resource and a welcome addition to the inventory BusinessJet Class can offer through our online booking network,� said George J. Khairallah, President of BusinessJet Class in making the announcement. �BusinessJet Class has recognized the same opportunity we did a solution for busy executives having difficulty traveling commercial airlines: convenient on-demand air charter.on small to large business jets.� said Dennis O�Connell, President, Meridian Air Charter. �As knowledge of the air charter option increases, driving demand, we intend to be positioned to take advantage. BusinessJet Class is an important part of that equation.� BusinessJet Class' �private jet charter GDS� (Global Distribution System) allows travel agents to book private jets via the Internet. No special equipment or knowledge of air chartering is needed and there is no membership fee or advance financial commitment required. The BusinessJet Class automated distribution system for private jet chartering matches the functionality of commercial airline GDS capabilities, and allows travel managers to price, quote and book charter aircraft easily and quickly. |
