CINCINNATI, April 2, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Delta AirElite Business Jets and Cavendish White have signed an agreement, creating a unique opportunity for customers interested in both private jet travel and yacht charter or purchase.
Customers will benefit from a seamless booking process, providing a one-stop shop for aircraft and yacht charter needs. Both companies offer premier service, the ultimate in top-of-the line products and exclusive benefits.
