DALLAS, Texas – Jan. 27, 2005 – Bombardier Flexjet, the fractional business jet ownership program from Bombardier Aerospace, announced that Gary Player – the most successful international golfer of all time and holder of the title “The World’s Most Traveled Athlete,” having logged over 14 million air miles – has joined the Flexjet program as a fractional jet owner.
“I chose Bombardier because they offer a complete range of private jet travel solutions no matter where I am in the world,” said Mr. Player. “The Learjet 60 offers the perfect blend of performance and value that will serve my demanding travel schedule, whether I am flying within North America or to international destinations,” said Player.
Mr. Player said the Flexjet program represents his first experience as a fractional aircraft owner because it was the first solution that met his requirements for value and flexibility, and will enhance his ability to be effective in his wide-reaching professional and personal interests. He also is taking advantage of the company’s unique lease financing program, marketed under the name Jet Rich Quick.
"We are delighted that someone of Gary Player’s stature and reputation has selected the Flexjet program,” said Flexjet Vice President of Sales Bob Knebel. “It’s also especially fitting that a golfing legend like Gary Player has selected legendary Learjet performance,” Mr. Knebel added.
Mr. Knebel also pointed out that Mr. Player will benefit from other recent new Bombardier Flexjet program enhancements including Versatility Plus, which allows owners to purchase additional hours or realize value from unused hours, and AnyTime Options, which offers additional guaranteed access to larger or smaller aircraft and guaranteed access to more than one jet on the same day.
