A new luxury tour operator is hoping to get agents
behind plans to launch private jet tours.
Flights of Fantasy director Daniel Essex has 450 seats to sell
on tours between September 2005 and May 2007.
Despite prices leading in at £3,990 for a day trip to
Lapland, he is confident enough agents are keen to break into the
top end of the market to ensure he meets his targets.
Essex said: “I think luxury is definitely the niche market that
is going to expand.
“There are a huge number of people out there who are cash- rich
time-poor and are looking for an experience or something that makes
a statement. If we are able to get 50 of the best UK agents
involved then I would be happy to support them all.”
Essex said he is offering a flat commission rate of 5% on the
seats that are sold individually, but is open to negotiation with
better sellers.
The fleet consists of two aircraft – a 120-seat A319
modified for 28 people and a Legacy with space for 13 – while
the most ambitious of the 30 tour programmes is the 45-day World
Air Cruise. Seats are sold individually.
