Air Share Programs vs Private Jet Charter

Air Share Programs vs Private Jet Charter Air share options offered by private jet charter companies have become a buzz-word since early this year again. These programs, which were more often called fractional ownership had become popular years ago, and were reintroduced under a new name to avoid the negativity surrounding the subject of fractional ownership. We have already disproved the viability of fractional ownership in this article here: Fractional Ownership vs. Charter of Private Jets. Now, for new customers and interested parties entering the market, air share programs are a program in which customers pay a fee based on the type of plane they would like to lease and then pay for a set number of hours. At a first glance, air share programs sell at an overall hourly rate slightly lower than traditional charter. And this is the reason air share programs have developed momentum recently. Let’s compare air share to traditional charter. With traditional charter, I am not locked to a certain aircraft type, and I can request any specific aircraft I wish. Whereas with an air share program, I am locked into an aircraft category. It remains up to the company offering said air share program to choose which aircraft are in which category. For example, a super mid sized jet would often be marketed as a large jet, meaning you would be paying a rate based on a large jet’s hourly rate, in this scenario, you, the customer would assume a large jet hourly rate is around $5,000 to $10,000. this said share carrier would offer a super mid sized jet which retails for $3,200 to $4,000 per hour, under the premise that this is a large jet, when it

Can i charter from any airport?

Can I charter from any airport? Private jet charter is known for its functionality and ability to fly out from nearly any airport you desire. Though the question remains, can I charter from any airport? In short, mostly yes, and sometimes no. Further inquiry into the subject tells us, first, we have to honor the runway lengths, so let’s take a look at that first. Smaller airports usually have shorter runaways, and larger, higher density airports tend to have much longer runways. International airports for example have many large wide-body aircraft such as Boeings and Airbuses landing per day. Aircrafts such as these tend to require enormous runways up to and sometimes exceeding 11,000 feet in length. Taking off from a runway, a Boeing 747 for example requires approximately 10,800 feet, while there are much smaller jets that can take off in 2,300 feet such as the Eclipse 500 VLJ (very light jet) while small turboprops can land in even shorter airfields. Next, let’s look at all of the airports in our database and see which are capable of meeting the demands for large jets, mid jets, light jets, and turboprops. Firstly, with a total of 15989 airports in our backend, that means all 15989 are available to piston aircraft. 12814 of which can accommodate most turboprops and some light jets 8762 can accommodate most mid jets and all light jets 5447 capable of accommodating most large jets and all mid jets And finally, 3077 airports capable of accommodating most wide-body airliners. That means, even if you plan to charter an airliner for a group of hundreds of people, there are over 3000 airports open to you. More conservatively, a traditional charter with a light or mid

How a Wet Lease Works

How a wet lease works - When is it better to charter? There are two very different ways of renting out aircraft flight time. The first method is traditional charter, this is what most trips and customers would fall in to. Charterting an aircraft allows you to have the aircraft for the minimum possible time for your trip, you will be billed an hourly rate for using the aircraft, in addition to fuel costs, and airport/crew fees. Meaning once your trip is over, the aircraft is no longer yours. For large multi-leg trips, one can charter an aircraft, or simply acquire a wet lease on the aircraft. Now for a large multi leg trip with gaps in arrival and departure dates, traditional charter would mean that said aircraft would have to return to home base for maintenance and refueling, the aircraft would only be yours for the legs of your trips, meaning any sudden changes in itinerary, and the aircraft could already be thousands of miles away. But when one wet leases an aircraft, the aircraft and it’s crew are all yours for the duration of your trip, you will be billed for additional unexpected itinerary changes if the hourly/fuel consumption differs from the projected one, but the essential fact is, you are the temporary owner of the aircraft, meaning even if the aircraft owner him/herself requires the aircraft for some sort of emergency, they would have to wait until the duration of your wet lease ends. Lets look at 2 example trips and figure out which is better for wet lease, and which is better for traditional charter: Our first trip’s itinerary: New York -> London 9:00 AM Jan 1 London -> Paris 4:00

Turboprops vs Light Jets

Turboprops: Why so unpopular? When asked the difference between turboprops vs light jets, a handful of everyday non-aviation specialists stated that they don’t use jet engines, and instead use propellors, this is true, but when given a chance to elaborate, some silly notions were shared. Things such as low range and noisy, bumpy flights were the cornerstones of the conversation. Most everyday customers assume that turboprops are smaller, less comfortable than light jets, but this could not be farther from the truth. Modern day turboprops are just as comfortable as light jets, most seating around 6-8 passengers, exactly like a light jet. The interiors can be customised in every possible way a light jet’s interior can, and the onboard amenities such as TVs and satellite phones are also available in turboprops. Can you differentiate the light jet from the turboprop? As for cabin noise levels, modern day turboprops have been outfitted with resonance technology that essentially causes noise to cancels out the propeller noise almost entirely, to the point of being equal or less noise than most light jets. Aircraft engineers build a series of tuning forks that essentially resonate at the same frequency as the engines during flight, and even without this modern day technology, turboprops, just like any other aircraft, aren’t too loud while cruising and just happen to get loud during takeoff. As for the range concern, turboprops are in the same ballpark as light jets in terms of range, with a few exceptions of course, a traditional turboprop will fly for around 1,500 nautical miles, which is right in light jet territory. Though the turboprops maintain one game-winning lead on light jets, and that is the ability to take off and land on

Private Jet Prices

Private Jet Prices Many people wonder what are the costs of owning or chartering a private jet. Very few people realise that the cost of ownership for a private jet is not only a one time payment, but a challenge. Upkeep costs, parking, registration, fuel costs, refurbishment costs, and of course mechanical upkeep can be valued at hundreds of thousand dollars a year, and can quickly pile up. Below we will explain a few different scenarios by giving real world examples of three different private jet prices. Firstly, let’s look at a lear 40. A light jet well known for its range, a great jet to own. The lear 40 usually is configured for 7 or 8 passengers and is quite comfortable to fly in, and is known for being quite mechanically stable. Many prefer the lear 35A but the lear 35 has been discontinued for 10 years now, buying a new jet is no longer possible. A new Learjet 40 costs approximately $9.5 Million. Where as chartering one costs approximately $2900 an hour to charter. Lets remove the cost of fuel, because a private owner would have to pay for fuel. Fuel comes to approximately $700 an hour, leaving us with a $2200 an hour cost. A flat calculation tells us if one were to fly more than 4318 hours, buying the Learjet 40 would be a better option. But realistically, even then, a frequent flyer with an average of two hours of flight per day, everyday, would mean the accumulation of those flight hours would take nearly 24 years. No private owner would keep a jet for 24 years, and even if they did, maintenance costs over 24 years would be something very

Advantages of Flying Private

Whether you’re flying for business or recreational purposes, you can choose to travel on private aircraft or fly with commercial airlines to get to your desired destination. With many executives looking at elegant private air charters as the most relaxed and dependable form of transportation, here is a glance at the pros and cons of commercial flights vs chartering a private plane. Flying private has many advantages. While it’s true that private jet can be lavish and pricy, the actual advantages of soaring on a private aircraft are convenience and efficiency. For instance, you can choose to fly out of any airport you’d like as long as the runway is sufficient for your jet, and as long as there are no restrictions. This is a perfect substitute for having to go through a busier airport. This doesn’t only benefit you in a way to avoid all the busier hubs, if your residence or office is around a general public airport, you can simply choose to take off from there, avoiding all traffic. Another example of how flying private could benefit you would be that you won't need to arrive an hour or even a half hour before flight time. The jet departs on your order. If you prefer a 7PM departure, no need to arrive at the airport before 6:53PM. And if you are running late, the plane will always wait for you. In many larger metropolitan areas, jets take off and land from minor close-in airports so the commute time is shorter. At FBOs, you are allowed to drive your car onto tarmac up to your aircraft, (in some cases without a security check) and get on while the team loads your baggage into the aircraft. Valet services are available to take your car, park

Gulfstream 650 ER

Gulfstream G650 ER Gulfstream has decided today that the 7000nm range of the Gulfstream G650 was not enough for it’s customers' needs. The Gulfstream G650ER (extra range) was born, with a 7500nm range, it is without challenge the world’s longest range business jet. The G650ER will host the same interior and options as the standard G650, the only difference is a 4000lb fuel increase, which naturally means a heavier aircraft, the G650ER will require a takeoff/landing field of 6300ft instead of the previous 5900ft for the standard G650. Gulfstream announced that they will be using the same Rolls Royce BR725 engines used for the G650. The aircraft is available to order now for a price of $66.5 Million, or previous G650 owners may retrofit their own G650 for $2 Million allowing it to fly the 7500nm that the G650ER has to offer. The new 7500nm range will allow G650ER owners in New York to fly non-stop to kong kong, from Texas to Dubai amongst many new city pairs. And for middle east owners, the G650ER will cover the majority of every continent without hassle. Comfort remains untouched, with 16 oval windows(largest in the industry), a mach .90 cruise speed, and all of the bells and whistles you would expect from a high end Gulfstream. We hope the G650ER will be available soon, there has been a very large demand for the standard G650 already, with high profile owners flipping their G650 for 20-30 Million Dollar profits, hopefully Gulfstream's specialists can continue to manufacture and sell G650s at the same speed, the standard G650 waiting list, if joined now, will assure you a G650 in mid 2017. Though we hope the G650ER will be available to the

When is the Best Time to Book a Private Jet?

The Best Time to Book a Private Jet There is technically no best time to book a private jet, though there are some recommendations that aircharter has for you. Lets separate trips into small (1-18 passenger trips) and large (45 or higher). Smaller non-commercial aircraft are quick to be ready and the logistics can be taken care of in a matter of hours. While commercial sized trips may take a day or two to handle the passengers lists, catering options, ground transportation etc. The recommended time to book for a small trip is preferably at least one day before, this allows aircharter to sort through every possible aircraft that can accomplish your charter and offer you the best at the lowest cost. Smaller trips with 2-6 hour notice are generally more expensive, as there would not be enough time to locate every aircraft, and the best option in such a short timeframe would be the verified available option. These of course are recommendations, aircharter is capable of finding aircraft instantly, you can call while at an airport and we will find you the closest available aircraft for your charter. For larger scale charters, the recommendation is at least a week beforehand, charters of this scale usually involve much more logistics, in order to sort out every passengers needs, we need time. Though, with as little as 48 hour notice, we can arrange a charter for a trip of any scale on an airliner, anywhere from one to 300 passengers. There is one exception to this rule, for high traffic time of the year such as christmas and thanksgiving, it it always better to charter as far in advance as possible, this allows us to find

Last Minute Charters for the Fifa World Cup

Last Minute Charters for the Fifa World Cup Last Minute Charters for the Fifa World Cup are available from aircharter.com. Very soon, the top soccer teams from all continents will play in Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup! If you’re interested in attending, this would be the best time to book your charter to travel to Brazil in order to witness and be part of such historical event. Most of the commercial airliners are almost fully booked for such flights. Furthermore, air traffic in Brazil might just be super high causing lack of flight to games’ destination, resulting in obligations to take ground transportation which won’t be as comfortable and convenient as air travel. Jessie Parker, Operations Manager at aircharter stated: “AirCharter.com has been taking orders and inquiries for charter flights to, and within, Brazil for quite a while now. The competition will have 64 matches in 12 different cities, all over the country. With distances of up to 3,000 Kilometers to travel, ground or even coach traveling wouldn’t be the most pleasant experience. Chartering a plane is often the most convenient and pleasing way to travel from one game to another. Over the past few World Cups we have arranged numerous amounts of flights for fans, sponsors and teams and expect to have more in the very near future” With us, you can travel from your home country or city to any city in Brazil on a chartered jet and get there feeling rested, relaxed and ready to enjoy the culture, food and sport of Brazil. You can pick from any of our available collection of aircraft the best jet to fit your needs based on our group size and distance.
