Private Jet Services Group (PJS), one of North America?s largest air charter services firms, announced today ?Mission Accomplished?, evacuating a US Citizen from Thailand who fell gravely ill last week.

Private Jet Services Group (PJS) began implementing a strategic “Airlift Contingency Program” for its clients in 2006. The Airlift Contingency Program delivers rapid response flights 24 hours a day, 365 days a year anywhere in the world. This Airlift Contingency Program is designed to track availability of operators that provide similar aircraft types as the ones being used by a travelling member. Just last week, PJS received a phone call from a stricken member, who was vacationing in Thailand and required immediate care. PJS immediately sprang into action, spooling up a Global Express corporate jet, equipped with a full stateroom and 6,000nm range to safely return the gentleman home to the East Coast of the United States.

?He fell ill in one of the hardest to reach locales on earth? commented Greg Raiff, CEO of PJS, ?our extraction flight required over flight permits from the governments of Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan. I am proud of our operations team, who was able to put together all of these requirements under truly ?Life or Death? pressures.?

As a member of the Airlift Contingency Program, when an unforeseen requirement arises, PJS works to analyze all contingency options available. When an aircraft evacuation becomes necessary, PJS will generate the closest suitable aircraft that meets the specific passenger and routing requirements.

Demonstrating ever increasing demand for its services, The Private Jet Group of Companies announced today the expansion of its Boston, MA offices.

As a leader in providing top quality, consultancy-based aviation services to its customers, Private Jet Services Group (PJS), one of the Private Jet Group of Companies, opened its Boston offices in 2008. PJS?s sister company, Private Jet Commercial Group (PJC), regularly manages flights out of both Boston?s Logan International Airport (BOS) and Bedford?s Hanscom Field (BED).

In the last year, Southern Cross Travel Insurance’s highest paid claim for an individual Australian was in excess of $ 200,000 (AUD). The company paid one New Zealand claim costing over one million dollars. Both claims were for overseas medical expenses and repatriation.

Southern Cross Travel Insurance CEO, Craig Morrison said, ?In the US and Europe, medical costs can be astronomical for travelers ? and that?s before you take into account the cost of evacuation. In many countries around the world, if an accident or health problem strikes you may also be left with a hefty bill for air, boat or ambulance travel.

?Depending on the severity and type of injury or illness, travel back home may require the purchase of a first-class seat, as well as the travel costs of an accompanying medical professional or family member, or even chartering an air ambulance.

?What this highlights is, if you can?t afford travel insurance ? you can?t afford to travel.?

Though Southern Cross Travel Insurance (SCTI) only entered the Australian travel insurance market in April 2009, it has already emerged as a leader in consumer surveys.

Mr Morrison said SCTI?s ability to offer value for money was a result of its commitment to a ?direct to consumer? online business model. 100% of SCTI policy sales are transacted through its website.

?Until recently the majority of consumers were still buying travel insurance through their travel agent ? and paying substantial commission costs. By transacting online, we can create cost efficiencies and pass these savings directly to consumers, who are buying from specialists in the field.?

About SCTI

For the third year running, SCTI received a five star rating for ?outstanding value? in international travel insurance products by research house CANSTAR CANNEX. The survey compared 42 travel insurance brands and 233 insurance products to award ratings based on a combination of price and product.

SCTI was also the standout performer in consumer magazine Choice last year. A review of travel insurers for the Australian market rated SCTI ?best buy? in each of the magazines four categories, based on a combination of policy features and price.
