What will you be doing next week? Attending a business meeting in another time zone? Showing up at a sports event thanks to landing a few last-minute tickets? Zooming off to a remote tropical island for a destination wedding? Or perhaps you haven’t made any plans yet?

If you are involved in any of these activities, or think that perhaps you might be, you are not alone. Every day, millions of people take to the sky to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. All these people have one thing in common: they might be looking for a chartered flight.

Why would they need a chartered flight? There are several possible reasons for needing to charter a private jet. Let’s look at two of them, in both the business and private sectors, and see some of the instances when private flights are a good and necessary choice. First, let’s consider professional work responsibilities.


Among the many possible reasons why an individual would charter a jet, there is one that is the most dominant reason and the one that comes to mind almost immediately: the business charter jet. A private jet charter for business would facilitate meetings, either bringing a client to a business setting or taking a business executive to a professional meeting.

A business jet provides an excellent environment for getting work done. In fact, business professionals claimed that working on a company aircraft actually made them 20% more productive, compared to being in an office, according to a survey taken in 2009.

In addition, there is a benefit to landing at a secondary airport where traffic and congestion may be less. It is no coincidence that 19% of flights land in large, major commercial airports and that secondary airports find a 33% rate of business aircraft landings.

Secondly, let’s consider some reasons that are more personal for choosing a chartered flight to get where you need to be. Among these would be attending a sporting event, or a destination wedding (although both of these events could also be business-related).

Sometimes a commercial flight would require several stopovers and plane changes. A private flight would be much more direct and save a lot of time. Plus, there would be less of a chance for flight delays and cancellations. Perhaps this explains the soaring rise in popularity of private jets registered in the United States, which, statistics show, numbered 11,261 in 2011.

So even if travel by chartered flight is a relatively new concept for you your business, and/or your personal life, it is definitely worth considering. It is good to know that there are chartered flight services that are experts in this area and accustomed to doing this sort of thing on a regular basis.

Most of all, choosing to travel on the best private jet available is one way to make sure that you travel safely and professionally, and that you arrive refreshed and ready for whatever adventure lies ahead.
