Concord Private Jet to raise jet card rates on December 1, 2026; cards bought earlier lock in current rates
Why It MattersAnnouncing a rate rise six weeks ahead turns the increase into a sales deadline, showing how card sellers use advance notice and rate locks to pull purchases forward.
What happened
Charter broker Concord Private Jet will increase its jet card rates on December 1, 2026. Jet cards purchased before that date lock in current rates for 12 months from the signing date.
The increase applies to the light, midsize, super midsize and large cabin categories. Rates for turboprop, very light jet and heavy jet cards will stay the same. Only the rates will change; all other jet card terms remain the same.
Neal Impellizeri Sr., Concord's founder, said in a press release: "We'd rather tell you six weeks ahead than surprise you on an invoice." He added that anyone considering a card should sign before December 1 to keep today's rate for a full year, and that callers reach the family that owns the company.
Concord also offers bonus hours on renewals: one free hour for 20 hours purchased, two for 30 hours and four for 50 hours.
Industry impact & what to watch
Giving six weeks of notice before a price change is a familiar move in prepaid charter products. The announcement itself creates a purchase window: buyers who were undecided now have a dated reason to sign, and the 12-month lock lets them carry today's rate well into next year.
The split between categories is informative. Four cabin classes move up while turboprop, very light jet and heavy jet cards hold, which suggests the pricing pressure the broker is passing on is not uniform across the fleet types it sells against.
The next dated milestone is December 1, 2026, when the new rate card takes effect. The size of the increase in each of the four affected categories will only become visible once those rates are published.
