An important meeting between executives of your firm and some potentially large clients or investors has just popped up.  The client has agreed to meet with you in your offices and is expecting you to arrange their travels.  A good impression is meaningful and lasting.  To ensure that the face-to-face meeting strengthens the relationship between the two companies, the idea of chartering a private jet has been tossed around.  How does one decide that this circumstance warrant the charter of a private jet over the purchase of first class airline tickets?

Lets first look at the benefits, of chartering a private jet; as opposed to the purchase of first class tickets.  The experience of flying on a private jet is relaxing yet exciting and is likely to put the client in a good mood when he arrives for the meeting.  The trip was arranged around the clients schedule and has been effortless for them.  If impressions truly are meaningful and lasting, then chartering a private jet for a client leaves a strong impression.  What’s more is the jet charter allows the client to depart the same day and arrive home in time to beat traffic.  For sending the message that the client is important to your firm, a private jet charter makes a very clear statement.

     The luxury and convenience of private jet charter travel does not come without cost.  When comparing the actual dollar cost of a private jet charter and a first class airline ticket, the airlines win hands down.    The cost of chartering a private jet can easily be four times that of an airline ticket in the first class section.  The value of jet charter travel is found in its convenience not its price tag.  For a small firm that is hoping to land a big client; chartering a private jet may come at great expense.  But loosing the opportunity to meet with an important client face-to-face, due to airline delays or canceled flights could cost the company far more. 

     Private jet charter travel is arranged around the passengers schedule and eliminates delayed and or canceled flights.  A private jet allows your client to avoid long security lines.  Private jets also allow access to smaller private airports that are often times located much nearer to the place at which they intend to meet. 

     Small businesses considering the use of a jet charter should consult an air charter agent.  Agents for air charter assist clients in the chartering process.  They can provide significant value to businesses that are new to jet charter and for businesses that charter private jets regularly.   It is the responsibility of the air charter agent to analyze the market, identify the nicest aircrafts and negotiate to receive the best available price.  The air charter agent will provide assurance of fair market value when you charter a private jet.  An experienced air charter agent will also provide a detailed safety report to ensure that only the most experienced pilots are in command of the private jet that is chartered for your trip.  Another major advantage of hiring an air charter agent is aircraft availability.  An air charter agent is not limited to the size of the fleet under a part 135 certificate.  They have access to countless operators and can guarantee you pay fair market value for every flight.
