The Ultimate Guide to Private Jet Charter

Private aviation offers perks that cannot be rivaled by any commercial first or business class.

As a frequent business traveler, you would probably already know the pros and cons of commercial aviation, but if you haven't chartered a private jet in the past, you would probably not be aware of the benefits that a business aircraft can offer.

Flexibility

Commercial aviation flights are based on the commercial viability of the route flown which translates to (in the easiest case): if enough people want to go from city A to city B, airlines will start flying the route.
The viability of the route depends on numerous factors:

• The ability to fly the route (flying rights, slots,...)
• The aircraft type available to the airline and the capacity associated
  
• The manpower required to operate the flight
• The potential revenue generated by the tickets
• The costs associated to the flight

In regards to all these factors, we can understand that many routes are not served as the demand is just not enough to fill up a commercial aircraft. Hundreds of airports around the world are not served by any commercial airline.

An alternative solution, providing the airports are served by one airline or partner airlines is to transit through a 3rd airport and spend from one hour to one day or more trying to connect your flights.
As a result, the flying time would also increase due to the 3rd airport not being on the flight path as well as the extra take-off and landing.
Adding this transit time to the increased flying time decreases productivity for yourself and your business when you could be using this time to work or meet business partners.
Thousands of work-hours are lost every year for business around the world due to the time lost due to these factors.

As an example, you are planning you summer vacation and need to fly from Marrakech (Morocco) to Olbia (Italy), a quick search for a flight would tell you that it would take 12 hours and 30 minutes.
A direct flight would take 2 hours and 30 minutes, that's 10 hours saved without adding the time that you would spend at the airport on a commercial flight.

Private aviation allows you to fly direct routes as well as depart and arrive in airports which are not served by commercial aviation. You can depart at the time you need and suit your own schedule.


Increased Productivity

As detailed above, flying on a private jet allows you to save a lot of time which you can use for your business.
As your entourage and yourself will be the only passengers on-board (no-sharing - no strangers), this complete privacy allows you to continue working with your colleagues.
Business Jets are designed with the idea of increasing your productivity and the typical club seating configuration along with the fold-able tables are the perfect place for a briefing with your colleagues.
Moreover, most of the recent business jets offer in-flight connectivity with WiFi and satellite phone communication.


Luxury

Private Jets travel offers luxury beyond your imagination:
Food: you can compose your own on-board menu or have the catering prepared a Michelin-star restaurant.
Seating: luxurious wide leather seats, sofas, movies, Wifi, full size lavatory, bed, fully enclosed bedroom,...
Pets: travelling with your loved companions seating with you.
The luxury you can have on a private jet is now-where to compare with what you can have on a commercial airliner and only the only limit is your imagination.


Convenience

Running late after a busy day with numerous meetings and reunions ?
Flying on a commercial airline, you would have to stress about catching your flight, trying to find an alternative flight and lose precious time.
With a Private Jet, if you are delayed well, your aircraft will also delay the departure as it is waiting for you to arrive in coordination with the Airport Air Traffic Control to reschedule the departure time.
No more queuing at the airport waiting for those long lines at the security and at the immigration, flying commercialy allows you to pass through a separate VIP terminal in most airports with dedicated flexible security checks and immigration services (when flying internationally).
The whole process takes less than 10 minutes and you can be up in the air.
Another advantage is that on most aircraft, you can access the baggage compartment from the cabin and reach to your suitcases throughout the flight.


The Benefits of Private Aviation:

• Saving time - skip the queue, most airports offer separate VIP entrance for their private jet passengers and you can even arrive 10-15 minutes prior to scheduled departure and still depart on time.
• Skipping connections - flying privately offers you routes and flights which are not offered by commercial aviation.
• Custom schedule - your private jet flight departs at your chosen departure time.
• Complete privacy - the entire aircraft is used only by yourself and your entourage and most airports offer separate entrance / terminal for private aviation.
• Convenience - running late after a meeting ? Your private jet waits for you to arrive and we schedule a new departure time according to your needs.
• Luxury - catering is designed for you according to your preferences granting virtually limitless possibilities. In select locations, we can arrange catering through your preferred restaurant.
• Pets - If you wish to travel with your much loved companions, we will accommodate your request.

The Type of Jet Aircraft

Choosing your aircraft will depend on the requirements for your flight: number of passengers, distance of the flight, ability for the aircraft to use the airports that you intend to fly to (remember, not all aircraft can fly to all airports), restrictions on aircraft flag and availability of crew to operate your flight.

We can reduce the categories of aircraft to five:

• Turbo-Propeller - Powered by turbo-fan engines, ability to land in remote areas , flying slower.
• Light Jet - Suitable for short flights with a capacity of 7-8 passengers.
• Mid-Size Jet - Suitable for mid or long range flights (fuel stop) with a capacity of 9-10 passengers.
• Heavy Jet - Suitable for long to ultra-long range flights with a capacity of 10-18 passengers.
  
• VIP Airliner - Suitable for larger groups, with a capacity of 18-50 passengers, long range capability.

If you have never been on a Private Jet, it is important to know that stand-up cabins would be available for mid-size jets and above, therefore if you are flying on a light jet or turbo-propeller, you most probably would not be able to stand up fully in the cabin.
The choice of your aircraft is a matter of taste and personal preference but if you would like to be cost effective, you should use the category of jet most suited for the number of passenger and length of the flight. Flying alone on a heavy jet for a 45 minutes flight would of course be extremely pleasant you can imagine but not really cost effective.
