“Imagine travelling from Louisville to New York via private jet to connect with a commercial flight to Munich, Germany on Delta
Air Lines. As a Delta Private Jets Card member, in select markets you will be picked up in a Porsche from the fixed-base operator
and transported to the main airport where you will be escorted and expedited through security by Delta agents to your connecting
flight, while your luggage is taken care of for you,” described David Sneed, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
at Delta Private Jets. “We look forward to partnering with Porsche to provide this high level of service.”
Private-to-commercial transfer services will be available for Delta Private Jets Card members in select locations, including key
Delta Air Lines North America hubs and markets in Atlanta (ATL), Detroit (DTW), Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), Los Angeles (LAX), Salt
Lake City (SLC), New York (JFK and LGA) and Seattle (SEA), as well as Greater Cincinnati (CVG – Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport), which has been Delta Private Jets’ home base for more than 30 years. Additional locations are also being
considered.
Delta Private Jets, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE: DAL), is the only private jet company affiliated
with a major commercial airline – an unmatched competitive advantage in a fractured marketplace. Jet Card members utilizing a
combination of private air travel through Delta Private Jets and commercial travel via Delta Air Lines and its airline partners
will receive a complimentary transfer in select locations between the relevant fixed-base operator and the most expedited airport
entry point with personalized assistance from Delta agents, travelling in high style in one of the latest Porsche models. This
exclusive service offering is an expansion of the existing Porsche and Delta Air Lines alliance, providing surprise and delight
gate-to-gate transfers in a Porsche for Delta Air Lines’ SkyMiles Diamond Medallion customers.
For Delta Private Jets Card members, the Porsche experience will be complimentary with a standard level of customer care.
Customers expect the highest level of service with the best there is to offer, and being transferred between flights in a Porsche
with no additional fees delivers.
“At Porsche, we focus on the harmony of design with extraordinary function,” explained Andre Oosthuizen, VP of Marketing at
Porsche Cars North America. “Our partnership with Delta Private Jets reflects that same alignment of superior performance and
daily, like-minded application, with the customer at the center.”
“On the ground and in the air, Porsche and Delta Private Jets exude the highest levels of comfort and care,” said Kelly Love,
Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Business Development for Delta Private Jets. “Through this exciting partnership, we look
forward to exceeding our customers’ expectations in more ways than ever and to continuing to provide them with seamless travel
solutions before, during and after their flights.”
