New is The Fleet Club
“New is The Fleet Club. The start-up brings together Bernard Schwartz, a veteran hospitality entrepreneur and Michele Sullivan, who has 15 years of experience organizing similar members-only shuttles to Kona where Schwartz was a customer.
Plans call for twice-weekly flights from the Signature Flight Support terminal at Miami International Airport to both Eagle County Regional Airport in Colorado and Long Island's MacArthur Airport, using FBOs. While the Eagle flights will operate with a Boeing 757, the flights to New York will use 737s, in both cases configured 2-by-2 with first-class seating and at least 48 inches of pitch between rows.
Schwartz, whose APICII has helped develop hospitality concepts for clients ranging from Montage Los Cabos and Miami's Bath Club to the Seattle Mariners, says both private jet clubs are already about half sold to their maximum of 200 members.
He says Islip is an easy helicopter hop to Manhattan and is at the doorstep of the Hamptons, providing an appeal to those of you who split your time between Miami, New York City and Eastern Long Island.”
