When Traveling to Durham, Consider the Convenience of Chartering a Jet

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 map 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 hire 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.

Pilots can make very good money as a private jet pilot. A private jet pilot is a pilot who charters famous people or really wealthy people. A pilot who charters a private jet can make well over one hundred thousand dollars a year. There are pilots who work strictly for one company. A pilot’s job is to charter the corporate workers to meetings that are in other countries. A company will pay a pilot by salary. There are companies that will pay a pilot a high hourly wage to fly the private jet. The organizations will even pay for the pilot’s hotel room and food and spending money when they travel. Each company that hires a private jet pilot will have different requirements that the pilot must meet in order to get the job. Some companies want the pilot to have a certain amount of hours in the air before they hire them.
