"We built the Private Advantage Card around one promise: maximize our clients' time without ever telling them 'no.' Doug Gollan's data-driven ranking validates that promise," said Chris Bull, Chief Executive Officer of Northern Jet. "Value isn't just about a low hourly rate—it's about transparent pricing, guaranteed aircraft, and the freedom to fly 365 days a year. We set out to create the highest personal touch private jet service at a fair price… who knew it would be the best value for the money too!"

Unlike many national players that impose 45–90 "restricted" dates around holidays and major events, Northern Jet's card never blocks members from booking, a policy highlighted on the company's jet-card overview.
