how to choose a private jet charter Company

As the pace of your life accelerates, it’s clear that your time is becoming too valuable to spend waiting in airports for delayed flights to activities or meetings that had to be postponed until you arrived! You begin thinking about private jet charter -- a faster, easier, more customized way to travel to your destination.

Flying in a private jet is one of the safest and most luxurious ways to travel. Unlike commercial airlines, private jets fly in and out of smaller suburban airports that are closer to departure and destination points. Also, typically smaller airports do not have the long lines or delays passengers have come to expect at any of today’s large urban airports.

Getting Started In order to find a jet charter operator with high safety standards and great professional credentials, there are some important factors that should be considered. These factors include: (1) research on one or more charter operators that seem acceptable, (2) validation of the operator’s safety records and professional standards and (3) selection of the aircraft that would best suit your needs. The first step is finding a charter operator.

private jets

There are approximately 11,000 business jets in the wordwide fleet with the vast majority of them based in the United States or owned by US companies. The European market is the next largest, with growing activity in Asia and Central America. There is an active pre-owned marketplace in which aircraft are bought and sold based on their immeidate deliverability because new aircraft orders often take two to three years for delivery.

A large portion of the resale market is handled by members of an organization called the National Aircraft Resale Association (NARA [www.pre-ownedjets.com] ) which is dedicated to the ethical and professional conduct of pre-owned aircraft transactions. The Association was organized for the specific purpose of promoting a consistently high set of ethical standards in buying and selling business aircraft and to communicate those standards to the marketplace. Over 80% of business aircraft sales are handled by the broker/dealer network, and thus buyers and sellers tend to seek representation through a broker or dealer that meets the ethical and professional standards of NARA membership. NARA also has an office in Washington DC where it stays actively involved in communicating the needs of business jet owners and operators to policy-makers and legislators.

Business jet, private jet or, in slang, bizjet is a term describing a jet aircraft, usually of modest size, designed for transporting small groups of business people for commercial reasons at a time convenient to their business needs. Some business jets may be adapted for other roles, such as the evacuation of casualties or express parcel deliveries, and a few may be used by public bodies, governments or the armed forces. The more formal terms of corporate jet, executive jet, VIP transport or business jet tend to be used by the firms that build, sell, buy and charter these aircraft. The allied term "bizprop" is in use amongst enthusiasts to refer to turboprop-powered aircraft used in similar roles but seems unlikely to spread.
