We recently learned about a small private jet company named aexjet that specializes in mountain destinations such as Aspen and Telluride. The name, AEXJet, stands for Aspen Executive Air and is based in the famous ski destination of Aspen, CO.

Founded by CEO Ron Stone, AEXjet is a high-end jet card membership program with a small fleet of 14 planes as of January 2007. The fleet will expand to a total of 60 planes over the next 6 years.

The fleet includes large cabin jets such as the Falcon 900B, mid-sized jets such as the Citation X, Hawker 800 and Gulfstream G200, and light jets such as the LearJet 35.

The Aspen based fleet serves nine major metropolitan areas including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, South Florida, Dallas, Houston, Austin and Atlanta. Destinations are not limited to these above locations; AEXJet will accommodate their members’ needs.

• Silver $125,000
• Gold $250,000
• Platinum $500,000

These are open balance amounts – meaning that for each trip booked an amount equal to the on board hourly rate plus taxes and fees is deducted from your account.

The company prides itself on high operational standards as well as the quality of its company owned and maintained aircraft. AEXJet arned the highest “Platinum” ARG/US safety rating. They tout their expertise flying in high-altitude and snow conditions.

Other Benefits

Guaranteed aircraft availability within 12 to 24 hours, depending on membership level. International flights require at least 72 hours notice. The AEXJet fleet has Aspen airport landing priority, which can be important in the busy holiday season. You will also enjoy personalized customer service in-air and on the ground.

Stone has 35 years of experience in private jet aviation and is a former jet pilot and manager. We plan to publish more AEXJet details and an interview with Ron Stone in the near future. For more information on private jet options please see our Decision Guide to Private Jet Travel.
