Expensive Private Jets

Having a private jet aircraft was once reserved for oil barrens, business moguls and rock and roll bands. A private jet is expensive, 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.

Many people love having their own private aircraft but simply hate the cost of storing them. Some people are finding new and innovative ways to make money on their jets while they are not using them. Due to the advent of “enhanced pat downs” and “x-ray imaging” in airports, more people are starting to look into chartering planes. They want to avoid the hassle of dealing with the lines and violation of personal space. An owner could offer services over online classified ads to find “customers”. Another option is to sell advertising space on the side of your plane to businesses. Either way you are having space on your plane hired out. Brainstorm different ways that you can rent out your plane and you will be surprised how fast you will see those expenses diminish!

Most people will never travel in a private jet, but for the few who do, it is a wonderful experience. Heads of state and their families are among the lucky few who have that opportunity.
