Hire-a-Jet

Business houses who are antsy over the cost of the private jets parked at considerable cost in lean times can now take a number. The new Baron Eagle pre-paid global jet cards will let them cut their fleet loose and charter a private flight at by-the-hour rates. Membership is currently by invitation only, in three categories &mdash silver, gold and platinum. The company also has helicopters on standby for clients. Now those pesky logistical issues and overheads can go fly. Details at baronaviation.com.
