Global Reach
Private jets give you far more scope and opportunity to travel, serving many small airports that are inaccessible to commercial aircraft.
Did you know that in Europe business aviation has access to approximately 1400 airports, whilst commercial airlines are restricted to approximately 500 airports. In the United States the gap is even more pronounced, with over 5000 airports available to private jets compared to 500 for commercial airlines.
And when you take into account the additional accessibility that a private helicopter flights gives you to hostile or extremely remote areas, there is little doubt that flying private is far superior.
A Time Saver
We have all experienced the hectic nature of flying commercially. How many hours should you give before your flight departs? Is security going to be long? Fly private and you’re generally in the air within 15 minutes of your arrival at the airport.
The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) reported that business aviation leads to large time savings for its travelers, saving an average of 2 hours (127 minutes) per flight over commercial aviation.
Sit Back and Relax
No stress, no cramped spaces, no waiting lines, no smelly bathrooms! Just sit back relax or perhaps work on your laptop? Arrive at your destination fully refreshed and raring to go.
Sustainable
Private jets contribute only 2% of the total carbon emissions from aviation and about 0.04% of the total global emissions.
Both manufacturers and operators are making a conscious decision to further reduce carbon emissions. The private aviation industry has been working tirelessly on green solutions, including sustainable fuel alternatives.
Gulfstream Aerospace has been testing sustainable fuels for nearly a decade. This year 23 of 58 private jets that were displayed at a business aviation trade show in Geneva arrived powered by such.

VIP Pet Travel
Pets are an integral part of your family’s life. Nowadays, most operators allow you to bring your pets whilst you fly private charter. Whatever your pet, dog, cat or bird, as long as they are healthy and up to date on all required vaccinations, they are more than welcome to fly with you on a private jet.
Baggage
Depending on your choice of private jet, there are often no restrictions to the amount of luggage that you can bring on-board. There are no additional charges for extra bags, and all your items are stored within the aircraft hold or in luggage compartments within the cabin – easy to access your luggage during the flight. And not only do you avoid the lengthy check-in queues as your luggage is directly taken to the aircraft when you arrive at the private jet lounge, but there is no chance of your luggage ending up at an airport on another continent to you!
A Culinary Delight
Flying private is like traveling in a five-star restaurant. No more being stuck with the food and drink provided by the commercial airline. Your culinary requirements are yours to make prior to the flight, even down to your favourite snacks and beverages – a totally bespoke experience.
