Travelers across the world utilize private jets for their ultimate luxury. The ability to fly on a business jet also allows for a unique level of flexibility while traveling. Private jet users can choose the exact time that they want to depart for their destination and are, therefore, not restricted by scheduled commercial flights.
Additionally, travelers onboard private jets have the ability to choose the route to their airport and are also not restricted by scheduled flight paths that may connect through other airports, extending the travel time. Finally, private jet users can operate at a wider range of airports than commercial airliners. Business jets are typically smaller than most commercial airliners, which means that they have the ability to land and take off on shorter runways.
This effectively opens up a wider variety of airports, which may be closer to the traveler's actual intended destination. Including charter and membership providers. Because of the flexibility of flying privately, private jet companies have seen increasing growth over the years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Current private jet use has surpassed 2019 leve.
