In case you didn’t already know chartering a jet makes business sense. This is due to many reasons and if you want to run a successful business, then you need to get in the know when it comes to business jets.
Many companies are choosing to fly their employees privately to meetings. This is because it actually makes far more business sense. If you think about the last time you flew on a commercial airline, you will begin to understand why it may not be ideal for businessmen to travel in such a manner. The seats are crowded, there is little to no leg room and you will end up having to sit next to two or more people. This is not a conducive environment for someone who has to present a business proposal the next day. The next question that is asked, is why not fly the employee in business class or first class? Although the seats are far wider and the service slightly better, you cannot escape two big issues. Firstly, there will still be passengers on the plane with you that could be causing distractions and secondly, you will not be in charge of your flight times.
One of the main reasons why it makes business sense to charter a jet, is the fact that you are in more control. Private jet companies hire out there jets almost like taxis on the ground. All you need to do is find a company that can adhere to your needs and discuss pricing and flight times with them. The major benefit is not stressing about transit times and getting to your destination on time. The only aspect that can affect this, will be the weather, which of course the company cannot control. However, you can control what time you would like to leave (without the weather causing issues). Instead of looking at times that have been posted on a commercial airlines website, you can speak to the company about the best time for you to fly. This is especially important if you want to get to your destination in time and still have time to spare. It will no longer be necessary to catch the red eye to avoid being late for your all important meeting.
The other solution that has been undertaken by highly important companies around the world, is buying flying miles for their employees. This basically permits the employee to fly with a specific company a certain amount of times within the year, or until the miles they have purchased get used up. This puts them in control and subsequently they can call the company whenever they need to fly, again like a taxi service on ground. At the end of the day there are a number of reasons why flying privately makes better business sense for your company.
