Why Should an Executive Charter a Private Jet?
The most compelling reason to travel by private air charter is perhaps the one you would least expect. Simply put, it is cost-effective.
Private air charter makes sense to your bottom line because it allows for the productive outlay of your one non-renewable commodity: Time.
Why do most Fortune 1000 companies operate their own corporate jets or use executive charter services? Studies weighing the relative value of their top-level executives against the company’s bottom line have shown their time can be equal to thousands of dollars an hour. Time spent navigating the frequent hassles of commercial travel is quite literally a lost asset for your corporation.
Executives at all levels are learning that corporate jet travel increases the amount of time that is spent productively in a business day. Thus, Celebrity Jet Charter clients find that air charter is often less expensive than commercial flights, when one considers the cost of your time.
The numbers can be quite startling. A recent study compared airline and business jet travel times for the same trips conducted over a 12-month period showed a savings of $379,000 for the corporation that chose to utilize private air charter. Private aviation reduced the company’s total travel time 630 hours in commercial travel to 251 hours, a reduction of 379 hours. Modestly figuring the executive hourly rate at $1000 per hour produced the above savings.
If you spend even 120 hours a year in airplanes, a chartered jet is an excellent cost-effective option.
With your own private jet, under your complete control, you eliminate the airport check-in process and waste no time changing planes. Coupled with chartered ground travel, you simply drive up to your plane and drive away at the end of the flight.
In addition, because of the large number of airports that handle smaller planes, a charter can take a business executive much closer to his or her final destination than a commercial flight. Business jet aircraft can fly into 5,400 airports in the U.S, compared to the approximately 580 served by commercial airlines.
The itinerary of a chartered jet is completely at your discretion. Thus, a more productive business schedule is possible. If you can attend one out-of-town meeting using an airline’s schedule, with a private jet you may fit in two or three distant meetings in the same day. Even your time in the air is more productive; since privacy and discretion are priorities on a Celebrity Jet Charter flight, the jet’s cabin is the perfect spot to conduct business between destinations.
