ADAIRSVILLE, GA - May 25, 2010 - Barnsley Gardens Resort is excited to announce a strategic alliance with CitationAir by Cessna. The alliance will introduce Barnsley Gardens Resort customers to the benefits of CitationAir's private jet programs, while offering CitationAir customers special access to the luxury resort, located 60 miles north of Atlanta in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

“We are looking forward to working with CitationAir,” said Scott Mahr, General Manager of Barnsley Gardens Resort. “They have a reputation built on superior customer service that mirrors our own.”

Starting in May 2010, CitationAir will become Barnsley Gardens Resort's official private jet service provider. Through this strategic alliance, CitationAir customers will now have access to special packages and rates at the resort. The Couple Escape, geared toward couples seeking a romantic getaway, is $400 a night and includes overnight accommodations in an Arbor Cottage, a bottle of wine and a cheese platter, breakfast for two, a property tour and special surprise gift from the resort's Fairy Godmother, and late check out if available. Guests interested in hunting will also receive complimentary gun rental and ammunition, as well as a private tour of Barnsley's Springbank Plantation and kennels. CitationAir Family Adventures includes an exclusive rate for accommodations in the resort's Estate Cottages and a variety of family oriented activities.

Individuals travelling with Barnsley Gardens Resort's official private jet service will fly into Tom B. David Airport in Calhoun, GA, located about 20 miles from the property. A Barnsley representative will be waiting at the airport to shuttle guests to the property.

“This strategic alliance will allow our customers an exclusive opportunity to visit a truly unique place with their spouses and families,” said Woody Harford, SVP and Chief Revenue Officer of CitationAir. “At the same time, this gives us a great opportunity to expand our growing customer base from around the country and in the south.”

Designed in the style of an English country village, Barnsley Gardens Resort lies just north of Atlanta on 3,300 acres and offers a full complement of upscale spa, sporting and recreational amenities such as clay shooting and hunting at Springbank Plantation, an award-winning golf course, and horseback riding.
