The Jet Republic was a business aviation company , based in Lisbon, Portugal.
founding
Jet Republic was founded in 2008 by English entrepreneur and former Royal Air Force pilot Jonathan Breeze. The Austrian Euram Bank ( European American Investment Bank Aktiengesellschaft ), in the Palais Esterházy (Wallnerstrasse) in the first district of Vienna, under the direction of Viktor Popovic , acted as the financing bank .
Products
Two products were offered:
- The purchase of aircraft shares ( fractional ownership )
- The purchase of flight lessons using a customer card
25 firm orders and 85 options for the Learjet 60XR valued at 1.5 billion US dollars were placed with the Canadian manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace . Delivery of the aircraft should begin in October 2009. For the flight hour, including catering, the customer should pay between 5,000 and 7,000 euros.
liquidation
The company ran into financial difficulties with the financial crisis from 2007 , which delayed the start of business activities. Irish bookmaker Paddy Power put up a bet on whether the company would ever operate airplanes.
