Private jet charter offers clearer schedules, greater security and flexibility, and vastly superior convenience of routing over scheduled carriers. All these factors are increasing in relevance as queues at major airports get longer and longer, luggage goes missing and air travel becomes a chore to endure rather than the adventure it once was. Flaps International Ltd is one such company that offers private aircraft charter. It counts royalty, business leaders and sports celebrities amongst those who are turning away from the cramped, expensive flights of the scheduled airlines in favor of its more civilized and affordable form of flying.
Flexibility is one of the main advantages of using our aircraft charter services. At Flaps International we try to recreate the efficiency and enjoyment that flying once epitomized by using smaller, more convenient airports, private terminals and remote check-in facilities.
Compare and contrast this with 'Air Sardine' operating to and from an airport 50 miles from home or office and 60 miles from your destination.Unlike flying with standard operators using private jet charter means your itinerary can be as flexible as you would like. If the flight is due to take off at 9.00 am all you need to do is show up 15 minutes before your journey rather than two or three hours. Should you wish to change your plans at short notice just give us a call and we can re-schedule your flight.
As many private aircraft are smaller than the average jet this means we can use local airports rather than the major airports. Using provincial airports means that you can land closer to your destination thereby saving you time. We can even provide a door to door service by arranging a taxi to pick you up and drop you off.
Using regional airports also means you can avoid all the delays associated with having to queue up for security checks. You will still have to go through customs but you might be one of two people in the queue rather than thousands.
Post 9/11 security is a real issue to consider, topic to think about]. Using local airports means you are unlikely to be a target of terrorism. If we do fly to any major airports you will not go through the usual channels. Instead you will be directed to the executive jet private terminal.
If you are wondering what type of aircraft you will fly in, this will depend on how many people are going to fly and where you wish to fly to. The most economically sized planes groups traveling domestically, or within Western Europe, are those carrying up to four, up to eight, up to 19 then up to 29, 34 and 42. The next jumps are around 70 then 120. The large intercontinental routes tend to be VIP-configured aircraft. At the opposite end, if you require an air taxi service, you can either hire a helicopter or charter a light aircraft.
Renting a private jet can be surprisingly economic. For example, if you needed to fly several people to Nice for a business trip this will probably mean putting these people up in a nice hotel for the night. What happens if your meeting runs on the next day? Hiring a private jet means you can have the plane on standby, ready to fly you back at any time. Should you need to stay an extra day the aircraft can stay with you overnight. There will be a charge for overnight parking and crew accommodation, but this is much less than having the aircraft make two return journeys to collect you.
More and more people are coming to realize that executive jet charter is a more efficient, more civilized and increasingly affordable way of flying.
