Time is Money

Save Yours With A Jet Charter

The Big PictureAlthough private jet travel is commonly associated with executive excess, the truth is that when weighed against other costs, chartering a private jet is a cost effective option for managing high-value employee’s time. Private air gets employees to their destinations faster and allows them to continue to connect with clients and other staff and complete projects while they travel.

Your Greatest Investment

Your high value employees represent one of your company’s biggest investments. Providing them with optimum working conditions will greatly improve their work product, and consequently, the overall well-being of your company. According to Business Travel News, corporate travel managers report that business travel has a positive impact on employee health and can be positive for productivity. Getting the fastest most convenient travel possible will help boost these benefits.

Getting There FastPrivate air travel is much faster than commercial air travel by almost every metric imaginable. Instead of having to drive to a large hub, you can take a private jet from your local airport. Instead of dealing with tedious onboarding routines, private air passengers can quickly board their charter jet. Private air can also take passengers to the airport most convenient to their final destination.

Distractions can impact you and your staff’s ability to focus on upcoming presentations, work or other important events. Commercial air travel has distractions galore – crying babies, delays and a cumbersome boarding and deplaning process. Private air makes travel easy and hassle-free, allowing you and your staff to stay focused on your mission.

Hassle-Free Air Travel

In-Air Productivity

Many business travelers rave about the work they can accomplish while flying private air. According to a 2009 National Business Aviation Association, travelers said they were 20 percent more productive onboard company aircraft than they were in the office. Commercial travelers reported a 40 percent drop in their ability to get work done.

When It MattersPrivate air travel is more customer-centered than traditional commercial air travel. While commercial air has set schedules, private air schedules transportation to meet client needs. When it is absolutely critical to get your people to a location, you can’t afford to be at the mercy of commercial schedules. Private air gets your people where they need to be when they need to be there.

A Simple FormulaNot convinced that chartering a jet can create a net savings for your company? Consider the formula to the right to get an idea of the savings you could realize with private jet travel.

• Add up the salaries of the number of people traveling and divide by the number of hours they’ll be traveling via a private jet.

• Make the same calculation for the hours your staff would travel via commercial air.

• Remember that on average commercial air includes 15 minutes to park, 90 minutes to check-in and 45 minutes to get off the plane, pick up luggage and pick up a rental car, while private air takes just 5 minutes to park, 5 minutes to board and 5 minutes to deplane.

• Also take into consideration that on many private flights, staff will be able to continue to work on various projects in the air.

• When you take these factors into consideration, you’ll often find that private air produces net savings in productivity.
