Flexjet Teams with Korean Air

Flexjet has announced what it claims is the first North American alliance between a fractional jet provider and an international airline. Under the deal, Flexjet fractional owners will receive incentives to purchase first-class tickets between the Americas and East Asia on Korean Air, which has 10 gateways in the U.S. and two in Canada. Flexjet owners who use Korean Air will also receive elite status with the airline for a year, which will give them access to private lounges, dedicated check-in facilities and a concierge service in select airports. Korean Air passengers, meanwhile, will be able to secure private point-to-point travel throughout the U.S. on Bombardier business jets.
