When Traveling to Bates Field, Consider the Convenience of Chartering a Jet

Air travel is now undergoing changes and will continue to alter. U.S. security and safety is always the commercial air travel and private air hire, carriers top objectives.

Having a private jet aircraft was once reserved for oil barrens, business moguls and rock and roll bands. A private jet is pricey, it requires continuing maintenance, pilot salaries are high and federal hoops are in place to jump through concerning airworthiness and safety regulations. For individuals and even many corporations, the cost of buying and maintaining a private jet is out of reach and not cost effective. A viable alternative may be private jet charters.

There is an overwhelming number of private planes on the market today. Most people who fly private jets do not own their jet, but charter their ride. However, before looking into chartering a ride, a person needs to know what their options are. There are four main styles: executive piston and turboprop, light executive jets, midsized executive jets, and heavy jets.

Piston and turboprop jets are great for small groups traveling on business. They are not recommended for people traveling long distances and are some of smaller jets on the market. Light executive jets permit privacy and are a step up from the piston and turboprop. The interiors are still nice but they are not going to be the highest overall quality. When traveling in large groups you are going to need the midsized executive jet or the larger heavy jets. Both of these are very luxurious and have the space for large parties. These jets will allow for longer traveling distances to your destination airport compared to the smaller versions.
