Stanwix Heights Airport, Rome, Ny

Private jets are great resources for many large companies. They can use them in many ways. It could allow them to fly into very small communities that a larger plane might not be able to do. They do not have to wait for a commercial flight. They choose their own schedule, and what country they will fly into. Many businesses like the idea of owning their own craft, but do not need a jet full time. It is possible to buy into an ownership plan where the business acquires a share of the plane. They share it with other owners. They can sell their part at any time. They can use the plane for up to one hundred hours of flight time. They pay an additional monthly fee. It is much like a time share. This is the perfect situation for some businesses.

For many large corporations with continent hopping executives, traveling by private aircraft can be a cost effective business tool. Charter aircraft companies are located all over the world in the major countries 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.

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 businesses, 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 optimal 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 provide for longer traveling distances to your destination airport compared to the smaller versions.

When you are considering the option of chartering a private plane you might wonder why not just go on the regular commercial flight. It could be the same experience of traveling on a private jet, right? The answer is wrong; you must know that when you charter a flight for yourself you will be diminishing the time taken to travel as much as half. When you are on a private jet you will no longer have to wait on any long lines or wait while you are checking in.
