TAMPA - Most years, Tampa-based ExecuJet Charter Services Inc. gets a business boost from flying local residents to the Super Bowl, but this year is different with the game in Tampa on Sunday.

ExecuJet, which was founded in 1994 at St. Petersburg–Clearwater International Airport and moved to Tampa International Jet Center at the Tampa International Airport in 2006, has a plan to possibly capitalize on corporate jet passengers in a hurry to get home after the game.

"If a traveler's aircraft has some kind of mechanical difficulty or someone who doesn't have a flight scheduled wants to get out of town early, ExecuJet will be there to meet their needs," said Diane Jones, a spokeswoman for the company.

ExecuJet will station two aircraft at St. Petersburg-Clearwater International because the Pinellas airport is beyond the radius of Federal Aviation Administration temporary flight restrictions on general and corporate aviation aircraft during the Super Bowl period.

Four others will be on standby at Tampa International Airport, and one has been booked for a Super Bowl flight from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa and back on Sunday night, Jones said.
