FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TALON AIR OBTAINS CLEARANCE TO OPERATE SHUTTLE SERVICE TO WASHINGTON, DC’S

RONALD REGAN AIRPORT

NEW YORK –Talon Air, considered by many the leader in on-demand luxury air charter, is one of a handful of charter services in the entire country that has received the necessary certification permitting charter flights in and out of Reagan National Airport Following 9/11, the federal government ceased all charter flights into Washington D.C.’s Reagan International Airport. Until recently, the government lifted the ban on flights and implemented extensive restrictions on private jet travel into our nation’s capital. .

Talon Air employs one of the few private ASOs, Armed Security Officers, in the country that must be present on all flights into DCA. Talon Air must follow strict regulations and go through several pre-flight procedures to be granted entry, The pre-flight procedures include obtaining passenger names, social security numbers, DOB, as well as passport information. Once government authorization is given to Talon Air the slot time cannot be changed and Talon is able to confirm the flight. All of the pertinent information must be submitted 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure from one of the nation’s 12 portal airports, including Teterboro, LaGuardia and White Plains. Prior to departure the TSA must inspect all luggage as well as the aircraft

“Talon Air requires its pilots and staff to go above and beyond the necessary training. When the TSA created a list of checks and balances required to fly in and out of Reagan National Airport we knew we could meet their demands,” explains Adam Katz, Founder and President (and Pilot) of Talon Air. “We consistently give our passengers a level of quality, service and most importantly safety that allows us into airports that others are not and that is why once someone flies on one of our planes, they are Talon passenger for life,” he added.

Talon Air is not a “broker” but the owner/operator of its own fleet: the all new aircraft includes Gulfstream IVs, Hawker 800XPs, Beechjet 400s and King Air B200s. There is no contract obligation therefore no long term commitment. Charter air is the most efficient way to fly privately and costs less than “fractional ownership”. Talon Air guarantees the safest, most efficient, most cost-effective, and pleasurable flights for all your personal and business needs.
