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 booking 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 rented out. Brainstorm different ways that you can rent out your plane and you will be surprised how fast you will see those expenses lower!

You will just have to get into the private ground transport to airportthat will be arranged especially for you. This will take you directly to the flight and have you picked up when you arrive at your destination. This is a great way of having to save money on all those parking costs. Another great advantage with chartered flights is that you will reach at destinations that commercial flights do not reach.

You may often wonder and ask yourself, is a private jet worth its high cost price tag? A standard-sized jet has a whopping price tag of $5 million, and it can go up depending on the age, size, and features. Furthermore, when you own a private jet, it is necessary that you shell out thousands of dollars each year for its maintenance and other charges. You will also need to hire a professional pilot to fly you to city, and a pilot with more than 5 years experience usuallycosts about $60,000 per year.

A private jet is worth all the money that you paid for it if you are going to use it all the time for business and pleasure. However, if you will only use it only a few times in a year, it is certain that the money that you worked hard for will simply go straight to the rubbish pail.

For many large businesses with continent hopping executives, traveling by private jet can be a cost effective business tool. Charter aircraft companies are located all over the map in the major airports and chartering a private jet comes with endless options for scheduling and offers passengers luxury, convenience and impeccable service.

Private jets for rent come in a variety of shapes, sizes, configurations and with different speeds and range. There are six categories from very light to super heavy jets. Very light jets like the Cessna Citation carry 2 to 4 passengers, have a cruise speed of nearly 400 mph and a range of 1300 miles. The Learjet 55, a midsize jet, carries 7 passengers, has a speed of 450 mph and a range of 2500 miles. On the far end, the Boeing business jet has room for 50, a speed of 470 mph and a range of 7000 miles.

When a corporate company travels they usually make use of a private jet to charter their executives. A lot of big name companies use private jet services because it is more convenient. The corporate executives don't have to wait in long airport lines to check in. They don't need to check their bags in before they board. A lot of big companies have their own private jets and they hire a pilot to charter them around when they have to go to other countries. A jet charter flight is more comfortable for the executives because there is more room in a private jet. A private jet has more amenities than a commercial flight does. The bathrooms on a private jet are usually cleaner than the ones on a commercial flight. There are not a lot of passengers on a private jet like there is on a commercial flight.
