Unlock the world

One of the main benefits of travelling by private jet is the amount of time saved compared with commercial airline travel. Here at ACS, we believe this time saving should apply to the way you book and pay for private jet charters, too. The Empyrean Jet Card by ACS was created with regular fliers in mind, offering a flexible and seamless way to book and pay for private jet charters, five-star accommodation and other travel services, all in one place.

Opening an Empyrean Jet Card account enables customers to lock in availability at a moment’s notice. A dedicated charter consultant will arrange your flights, supported by a 24/7 in-house operations team and, depending on your destination, on-site flight representatives and customer experience professionals to enhance your trip. 

Unrivalled aircraft choice

Operator-based jet cards are limited by their fleet size. They have a finite number of aircraft and specific geography, making it cost-prohibitive to move their aircraft outside of specific service areas. As a global company, ACS works with thousands of aircraft operators around the world. Our unique jet card also gives you access to all aircraft types, which means you will get the most suitable private jet for your specific journey.

Effortless booking

There is no easier or more efficient way of confirming flights with ACS than using your Empyrean Jet Card. We eliminate the need to sign and return paperwork for each trip and remove any payment delays that could slow down confirmation of your aircraft of choice. All it takes is a one-sentence message for confirmation. 

“Flying privately is meant to be efficient and hassle-free. We wanted to mirror these ideals in our duty of care to our customers,” says Charlie Rogers, Jet Card Director. “Some programmes claim ease of use, while we actually deliver on that promise. We know we are in a time-sensitive industry, and we apply that mentality to everything we do.”

Flexibility for customers

Deposited funds are held in a separate third-party account, providing assurance that your deposits are used for delivering your flights. Your account has no expiry, so there is no pressure to ‘use or lose’ your funds within a set time. In addition, at ACS we always aim to provide an all-inclusive rate before confirmation, so, unlike other programmes, there will be no surprise costs such as management fees, subscriptions or fuel surcharges.

“Flexibility is the watchword among our customers,” explains Charlie. “When many programmes in the space were moving towards more restrictions, more peak days, more term limits and expirations, we wanted to take the Empyrean programme in a different direction.” 

Tailored to you

Once you have deposited funds onto your card, we offer variations to the way you can use them against aircraft charter or other aspects of your trip. ACS customers have access to The Travel Division, a team of destination experts whose local knowledge ensures they are best suited to arranging other elements of your journey, from hotels and resorts to other luxury experiences to combine with your trip. Enjoy a simplified booking process by using the funds on your account towards any of these services and let ACS offer you an all-in-one solution. 

“Certainly, we can arrange your private jet. Would you like to pair that with a yacht? Villa rental? Resort stay? The Empyrean programme delivers a total travel experience,” continues Charlie.

Empyrean your way

ACS doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution in any area of our business. As such, there are different types of Empyrean accounts available to clients and our Jet Card Specialists will recommend the best type to suit your requirements. They will also assist you with getting the most out of your funds based on your travel patterns and preferences. We collaborate with our customers to understand every aspect of their needs to make the precise recommendation that provides the most value to each customer.

In most countries, there are two types of Empyrean account which offer variations in flexibility, rates and commitments.

Empyrean Classic offers you access to private aircraft at the best market rate at the time of booking. There are no restrictions on service area*, peak days or monthly fees. And the money you deposit is fully refundable.

Empyrean Elite (known as Empyrean Gold in the US) works in a similar way to Empyrean Classic by offering you the best market rate at the time of booking, but with a maximum price guarantee on any flights within your service area*. 

In the US, there is a third option: Empyrean Platinum, offering a fixed hourly rate on flights chartered within your service area*, so you always know exactly how much you will get for your money.

Whichever option you choose, the Empyrean Card enables you to charter a private jet to any destination in the world accessible by private aircraft at a time of your choosing. The local knowledge, immense global buying power and ability to access aircraft in every market means that ACS can deliver the best private charter solutions to you, every time.
