Executive aircraft operator PrivatAir is preparing for a full launch of its Select Membership block charter program later this year in the U.S. and expects to extend it to European customers early next year. The Swiss-based company has been quietly offering Select Membership to some clients in the U.S. over the past two years and has used the time to refine its pricing and service structure.

Under Select Membership, customers place cash deposits starting at $100,000 in an escrow account managed by a third party. These funds are then used to pay for occupied flight hours in various categories of aircraft at guaranteed rates and with assured availability. Clients are free to leave the program at any time, and all remaining money will be fully refunded.
