Oxfordjet appointed as exclusive air charter broker partner for MasterCard World Elite Cardholders.

Wednesday 2nd November 2011

London Oxford Airport's oxfordjet business aviation services provider and award-winning FBO operator, has signed a three-year exclusive agreement to provide bespoke flight solutions to users of the MasterCard World Elite card within Europe.

World Elite (recently rebranded from World Signia) is MasterCard's exclusive brand offering cardholders an advanced suite of VIP benefits. Features include access to 24/7 concierge services, global travel, luxury hotels, private jets and lifestyle experiences from major global brands. The World Elite service also offers users personal trip planning assistance.

The tie-up with oxfordjet provides access for cardholders to private air charter quotes tailored to an individual's needs on a dedicated number. Oxfordjet will coordinate any booking on behalf of the clients, ensuring they have the best value and most efficient options available to them. MasterCard is generally more widely accepted globally than many other premium card providers and with the launch of Priceless London, www.pricelesslondon.co.uk, World Elite consumers will have access, for the first time, to some attractive privileges on offer via an online portal.

Since oxfordjet's establishment with the new VIP terminal at London Oxford Airport in 2008, the FBO has steadily built up a number of value-added services for their private aviation clients including charter flight services, arranging helicopter shuttles, assisting all manner of clients from wedding couples to corporate users and dignitaries, even an orchestra choir.

From light twin piston air taxis to larger airliner bookings for major events and group travel, oxfordjet has gained significant growth in its charter services arm with the added advantage of an in-depth knowledge of the ground handling and onward ground transportation requirements critical for seamless point to point private air transport use.

James Dillon-Godfray, London Oxford Airport's Business Development Director said: "We are delighted to have partnered with MasterCard on this exclusive service to their high end card users. World Elite card holders will now have a one-stop-shop to ensure they get the very best customer service when it comes to coordinating their needs for any private aircraft or indeed helicopter charter."
