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...

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.

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.

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...

Book tours are frequently used by authors as an effective way to promote an author’s new offering throughout the country, and it often involves renting a private jet – here’s why. Flexibility: Book tours are about packing in as many events as possible where authors can network, meet fans, film promotions, do interviews and generally promote their work. This means flying to multiple towns and cities and often visiting more than one in a single day.
