Private jet charters are often viewed as luxury expenses, which is not necessarily incorrect, but charter jet companies do not exclusively market to the rich and famous.
Private aircraft is useful to a variety of clientele, like business travelers. Many companies need to send their employees on important business trips all over the world, and a charter jet company is the best way to get therm there. Here’s why:
- Business travelers have specific responsibilities they must tend to, and commercial flying is not conducive to strict time restraints. The majority of time in an airport is spent by checking in, waiting in security lines, and waiting in the terminal. None of these locations are practical for phone calls, email, or online activity. Crowded airports also inhibit the passenger’s ability to get to his destination as quickly as he or she may have otherwise. Private charters are able to fly out of thousands of airports — including those without any crowds — in order to expedite the time spent preparing for takeoff.
- On board the private jet, passengers can be accessible for business activity, as some jets have designated meeting areas as well as in-flight WiFi. Without the noise of other non-business passengers to consider, these travelers can feel free to meet with their clients virtually without interruptions. These people can also perform individual work tasks with ease, freeing up any time they may need to recover from the flight, or maximizing productivity time after landing.
- Many business trips tend to be longer. International trips, especially, can take many hours in the air. Planes operated by a charter jet company only contain passengers approved by the party who has requested the charter. Passengers can expect fewer people on these flights, which offer opportunities for relaxation, stretching, or sleeping, without the worry of bothering or being bothered by other passengers. Empty leg flights, which become available when a private jet is only booked for a one-way trip, remain empty when they take off to pick up another set of passengers. A substantial amount of money can be saved by booking a seat on an empty leg flight.
Businesses who require frequent employee travel can save time and money by hiring a charter jet company over booking commercial flights, as well as improve employee productivity and overall level of comfort.
