APRIL, 2021
Business jet travel demand spiked in 2020 amid global business events cancellations, tighter travel restrictions and safety caution.
Even with the skies partially reopening in many parts of the world and scheduled flights taking off, more and more air travellers are considering flying on private jets because of their immediate availability, freedom in choosing the destination, short notice convenience and minimized coronavirus-related risk, that otherwise are faced during the repatriation flight by commercial airlines.
While the typical business jet travellers are still the main charter customers, the majority of private charter flights in the past months were taken by stranded individuals trying to reunite with their families in the GCC. This is largely due to the real advantages of flying by private jet – safety, convenience and flexibility.
This quantifies the following benefits:
- Time is the most precious commodity. Saving on this resource can be a great advantage not only in business but also in private life. Likewise, in one day a businessman can go on a meeting in two countries in the GCC, without losing time for the overnight stopovers. And just like that private jet saves considerable time for a passenger.
- Private jets are flying their routes planned to avoid commercial aviation traffic; they often climb higher and thus, will get you to your destination quicker than commercial aircraft. A private jet can take you to any small airport in the GCC, closer to where you need to be.
- The spacious cabin of the ASM’s Learjet 60XR with luxurious, comfortable seats that can be made into a bed, ensures a passenger will arrive at the destination refreshed and relaxed. This sense of ultimate comfort is all about a private jet.
- Not only all private jets must be registered and maintained to the safety standards required by the world’s air regulators, but in the conditions of the pandemic, every jet ASM operates is sanitized, before and after every flight. All ASM staff and crew are vaccinated and in addition, regularly undergo PCR testing. It is safe to say, a private jet is safe to fly.
- Flying private means flying at a time that suits you, into smaller airports closer to a destination that scheduled airlines don’t fly to.
- A private jet offers the confidence of a personal office. Business meetings and essential work tasks can be easily completed on board the private aircraft.
- Plenty of personal baggage can be taken on board and even pets can travel in the cabin, making the overall trip experience less stressful.
