Aerial Combat

Worth
August 2006

. . . When Bold first began to use Blue Star Jets, he was chartering a light jet from an operator in Chicago and paying the repositioning fees between Chicago and Kansas City on either end of the flight, which made each trip cost roughly as much as a flight with Marquis jet. Then Small found a charter company in Kansas City that was managing a Citation III for a small firm.

Because the company was eager for the charter business Blue Star Jets could bring, it made the plane available at an attractive hourly rate. Bold no longer had to pay for repositioning fees because the plane is based near his home in Kansas City.

The net result is that Bold can fly on a larger jet at a lower hourly rate than he could on a trip arranged through Marquis Jet. . .
