Sentient Jet, a Directional Aviation Capital company, is pleased to announce today that the Company is celebrating its 10 year anniversary as The Official Private Jet Partner of Aspen Snowmass. To commemorate this milestone, Sentient Jet will offer a new, limited edition “White Card” and will continue to support a wide range of fundraisers and events that benefit the Aspen community.

The commemorative White Card offers the same great industry-leading value of The Sentient Jet 25-Hour Jet Card while providing exclusive benefits that allow Cardholders to experience the best that Aspen has to offer. Guests of Aspen Snowmass who purchase the limited edition card will receive:

  • One complimentary hour of flight time.
  • One Aspen Snowmass Premier Season Pass for either the 2014/2015 or 2015/2016 season and;
  • A $1,000 Aspen Snowmass gift card redeemable at The Little Nell, Ajax Tavern, Cloud 9 or any resort lodge or restaurant on Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk or Aspen Highlands mountains.

“We are both thrilled and honored to be celebrating the past decade as the Official Private Jet Partner of Aspen Snowmass,” said Andrew Collins, President of Sentient Jet. “This is a significant milestone for Sentient and we are proud to continue this relationship cultivated over the years. Sentient is engrained in the Aspen community and we look forward to another exciting year of engaging in events both on and off the mountain that support the mountains and the community.”

Throughout the partnership, Sentient has been actively involved with Aspen Snowmass and the Aspen community by hosting and participating in various fundraisers and events including:

  • 10 years as the title sponsor of the popular Sentient Jet Hospitality Tent during Aspen Winternational – the FIS Women’s Alpine World Cup weekend
  • Sponsoring JAS Aspen Snowmass, a not-for-profit organization created to help preserve jazz and related forms of music through world-class events, performances and education program

  • 10 years of hosting the Champagne Tent weekends in Aspen Mountain’s Gondola Plaza
  • Past support of Challenge Aspen, Aspen Art Museum, Aspen Brain Forum and Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club (AVSC) amongst others.

In addition, every time Cardholders fly into Aspen with Sentient, they receive their choice of a seasonal perk including dinner at some of Aspen’s finest restaurants, private ski lessons, spa treatments, guided fishing tours, and rounds of golf.

“Sentient has been an exemplary partner for Aspen Snowmass for a very long time, and to be celebrating 10 years together is special,” says John Rigney, Aspen Skiing Company’s Vice President of Sales & Events, “The Company is highly respected – our clients value quality, service and reliability, but beyond this, they genuinely appreciate Sentient’s understanding of this resort and its philanthropic commitment to the broader Aspen community.”

Sentient Jet offers its 25-Hour Jet Card in four jet size options, allowing clients to purchase flight time on Light, Mid, Super-Mid and Heavy aircraft as well as in two age classes (Preferred and Select), starting at just $124,825. Sentient Jet Cardholders receive a rare combination of industry leading service at a tremendous value, complete with a one-year lock on both hourly rates and fuel surcharges, with the added bonus of 15 percent discounts on hourly pricing for qualifying travel – making Sentient’s flexible jet card solution the most intelligent and sensible choice in private air travel.
