Private jets are decadent and luxuriant, many people assume that they have no role in a world where many companies are having to cut back and global warming is more of an issue than ever: a private jet though either owned or chartered can create value and may not even be that bad for the environment if you consider how much more direct the flights can be thereby cutting down on miles traveled by road and rail just to get to the major airport you need for a commercial flight; the extra emissions caused by having to take indirect flights aren’t even worth considering.

Private jets are rarely used by individuals for pleasure and when they are it is normally rich but in demand individuals who can’t afford to take more time off work than they have to for a weekend break and so the time saved is worth paying the cost of a private jet for.

Charter flights on private jets are also ideal for transporting clients and potentially convincing them to come and see you at your offices by providing the private flight for them: it saves them time, impresses them in the first place and means you can show them your operation and talk to them in person which is often what you need to close a deal when you have stiff competition.

Private jets value usually comes from the time you or employees save and the extra value people can get out of the time spent on board. If your company has a few great men and women who you know are worth a certain amount to your business for every hour they are working due to their ability to increase efficiency, close sales, develop products or any other important jobs: then you don’t want them wasting three hours in airports for every trip they take: two hours checking in and going through security and then waiting at a gate, then an hour or so at the other end getting out of an airport through security, waiting at baggage claim before eventually being able to continue to their destination. So you can put a value on private jets in business, and that hasn’t even considered yet the time saved by being able to take a flight from a local airport to an airport or airfield closest to their destination and the fact that staff can be productive on board the private jet. If there are a few colleagues they can have meetings and plan for the meetings or events they are heading to, otherwise they can simply get on with work on a private jet as if they were in their office; some jets even have internet access on board now. A night flight also means that you can make sure your employee or employees actually get a good nights uninterrupted sleep rather than the type of sleep they will get on a commercial flight, even in business class: the result is they arrive at their destination ready to go having changed into fresh suits, had a wash and being rested and prepared for whatever meeting, event or other work is in store for them: if it is enough to give them that edge to clinch a major contract then you won’t blink an eyelid when your invoice for the charter flight comes through.
