Flying Private Jets in the olden days was a sign of super luxury. The private jets were generally owned by royal families, super-rich people, and big industrial houses. Today it is no more a taboo. Today, two distinct trends are seen: people on Page Six and TMZ with the Kardashians or Rich Kids of Instagram (kids of the stinking rich celebrities/people).
The other is as used by the industry. They talk about increased human efficiency and economic benefits by saving their top brass executives, ease of connection to remote airports and similar lookout. To emphasize, private jets can fly at 5000 airports in the United States, whereas only 500 serve commercial planes. The industry considers it as a “value-added” service.
Private jet flyers are not always men in suit, but today’s data released by one of the leading global private jet charter broker company PrivateFly can surprise us as 37 % of the passengers flying private jets are women. The other fact surface from this data is the average age of the passengers is 41 years, 14 % of passengers were children under 16, and six % of the flights had pets on board.
Another buzz private jet providers are generating is safety. Although all the planes have to meet FAA requirements in the US, the private providers have gone one step ahead. They are hiring safety auditors such as ARG/US (Aviation Research Group) and Wyvern to rate the operators, aircraft, and pilots they use. These are more stringent and close checks.
Also, unlike earlier days, the fares of private charter flight are getting cheaper. Though they cannot match a commercial airliner’s fare price, they are no more exorbitantly sky high to think to fly. The private business jets are now with in-flight hi-speed wi-fi, workstations onboard and other office amenities.
The U.S. engine- and equipment manufacturer Honeywell predicts nearly 10,000 new private jets will be in operation in the country by 2022. Depending upon the type of owner, the interior requirements are changing speedy, and top fashion designers like Donatella Versace have already come forward with highly innovative, practical and ultra-luxurious interiors for these jets that are fully customized. Elite rich and the industrial houses are also very conscious about global eco-footprint of these jets. Jet manufacturer Dassault claims, their fleet of jets is the most environmentally friendly jets on the planet.
Very high quality in-flight entertaining equipment such as a screening room, concert-quality sound system, integrating these systems with your favourite entertainment devices like – video game consoles, smartphones, and tablets are provided to entertain you. Most important is the “Low End” of the private jet market is growing, as the need of the hour is air taxi, short hopping flights!
