Stranded at the Airport Due to Poor Weather? Get Private Charter Flights

Image
Travelling by commercial airline is becoming more and more of a hassle as demand increases, but nothing compares to the havoc that weather can play on your travel plans. It is the single biggest cause for travel delays and cancellations, accounting for 69% of them according the FAA. Whether you’re in first class or not, you’re all in the same boat when it comes to weather – so what can you do if you’re stranded? The answer is to choose  private charter flights . Private Jet Companies Can Fly When You Can’t  While some weather systems are simply too huge or severe to risk flying in, private charter flights can often fly when commercial aircraft are grounded.

Private jets can also utilize more airports than commercial aircraft, so we can take off from or land at unaffected airports that are close to your destination. What are the USA’...

How Safe Is It to Travel Using a Private Jet Charter Company?

Image
A frequently expressed concern by people who are considering private jet charter is whether or not private charter flights are safe. This is a completely understandable concern, and having all the facts at hand is essential to making the right decision for you and your guests. Private Jet Charter is Often the Safer Choice  Just like commercial airlines, private jet companies make safety for passengers and crew the top priority. Both are governed by FAA (Federal Aviation Association) safety policies and companies take their own measures to ensure they have an impeccable safety record. Statistics and facts show that, while any airline travel is exceptionally safe, there are far fewer passenger fatalities on charter or private jets combined than there are on commercial airliners. Factors Contributing Towards Safety on Private Charter Flights  Reputable private jet companies: It’s important to know the reputation and safety record of the company you want to fly wit...

Why Do Business Executives Prefer to Use Private Jet Rental Services?

Image
Time is money – if you can save the one, you save the other – and no one knows this better than the business executives that run the industry giants of our economy. That’s why their preferred way to travel is by private jet. So how do these services deliver this benefit? Less time waiting:  Commercial airliners work on a set schedule, and whether you’re traveling first class or in the back, you’ll all arrive at the same time. These aircraft operate out of select airports only, and because of their size, they need to wait to use the larger runways. This can mean congestion – and anyone who flies regularly knows just what it’s like to wait on the runway or in a holding pattern for ages. In contrast, private jets can access thousands of airports across the country. They can use shorter runways, fly less congested routes, and leave exactly when you want them to – you set the schedule, after all. In addition, you get to skip TSA security lines, so you can board and be up in the...

5 Important Questions To Ask Before You Choose Aircraft Charter Services

Image
Whether you’re flying for business or pleasure, it’s important that you partner up with the best  aircraft charter services  provider in order to have a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are some questions to ask before you book your next charter flight. Is your private jet charter company fully certified?  Your operator is required to have a current FAA 135 Operating Certificate. You have the legal right to verify this information with the FAA to ensure that the company has a clean safety record. The aircraft should be listed under the operator’s name with their D085 listing the aircraft’s tail number. How experienced is the flight operator?  Pilots need to have the right experience, training and certification in order to fly private aircraft. This includes a private pilot’s license through the FAA with 40 hours of flight school and flying time, and an additional 40 hours of flight/simulator time and 50 hours command time. How long have you been in busin...

How Much Does It Cost To Rent A Private Jet?

Image
Not so long ago, renting a private jet was an unattainable dream for most people – something reserved for the multi-millionaires and billionaires of the world. But things have changed. Commercial airline service is seen as stagnant and tolerable at best, even in First Class, and this has opened the way for private jet companies to innovate and offer an affordable, value-for-money service for clients looking for a way to travel that is truly efficient, luxurious and customizable. So, how much can you expect to pay for a charter flight cost at TEB or other commercial and private airports in the USA? Empty leg flights:  These are the most affordable private jet charter flights, because they occur when an operator has to get a jet from A to B in order to make a scheduled flight for a client. Since the jet has to make this flight regardless of whether there are passengers on it or not, the flights are heavily discounted – as little as $500 sometimes. The only drawback? The fligh...

How Private Jet Charter Companies Help Provide Lifesaving Medical Support

Image
When people think about private charter flights, they often think of them as being part of the lives of the wealthy, famous and powerful. And while that is one aspect of this exclusive service, there is also another side to private jet charter – providing safe, rapid transport for life-saving donor organs with  organ donor private jet charter flights . Why use private charter flights?  Organ procurement and transplants are complex and delicate procedures, but most importantly they are time-sensitive. There is just a short amount of time in which an organ remains viable for transplant – hearts, for example, have just 4-6 hours – so ensuring that these precious gifts of life get to their intended recipient in time is essential. This is where private jets provide a vital service. Not only are they faster than commercial airliners, they can be scheduled at rapid notice according to the hospital’s needs, and can fly a more direct route to a wider range of airports than an...

Flexible Flyer? Empty Leg Private Jet Charter Services Are For You!

Image
Empty leg charter flights occur on a regular basis when private jets and charter aircraft have to fly to their next destination without passengers, either to return to their home base or to pick up scheduled guests. Because the aircraft are forced to fly this route anyway, these empty leg flights are offered at a significantly reduced rate – up to 75% of regular charter flight costs – to anyone who happens to require them. The catch? Passengers need to be flexible about their flight dates and times. Why are these private charter flights so affordable?  Aircraft operators have to move their jets to where their clients want them, when they want them – it’s part of the exclusive advantages to flying privately. For many charter companies, this is seen like an unavoidable loss on their side, as crew, fuel and maintenance costs will still accumulate. Empty leg flights are seen as a way to reduce this loss as well as give passengers a chance to find out what flying privately throu...
