PRIVATE JET CHARTER MYTHS
Since time immemorial, the society has had different myths that they hold on to or rather believe based on various aspects of life be it religious wise, business wise or even spiritual wise that are far from being true. The private air charter industry has not been left behind too as far as myths go.
There are several myths that people have about private jet charters that make them not want to even give a try to travel in private jets. Those myths mostly emerge from word of mouth from people that have never travelled in private jets. Most people prefer to use commercial flights as far as their monetary budgets go.
Today, I decided to compile some of the myths people have about air charters as well as dissociate those myths people link with the private air charter industry as a whole. On that note, the below subheadings explain the private jet myths people have against the reality of the same in the air charter industry.
- THE MORE, THE MERRIER..
People, at least most of the ones I know, have the mentality that private air charter companies deal only with the affluent people. That is one of the biggest myths in the private air charter world. You don’t have to be extremely rich or a celebrity as many may think to fly in charter jets.
Just like the way a group can plan on a road trip and hire a bus and cost share the price, the same is also very possible for private jets! Private jets can be cost shared too! This option can suit business people, organisations and even a group of friends as they can divide the cost amongst themselves.
The rental price of a jet is by the total amount quoted by the specific air charter company and not per passenger. That means, the more people on board, the less amount of money each in a group has to pay!
- OWNING A PRIVATE JET IS COST-FRIENDLY THAN REGULAR HIRING
Jets are very expensive to acquire and especially maintain since they require regular maintenance. After every flight, the jets undergo maintenance which is not a process that depends on pocket change.
Acquiring the documents to authorize the private jets to operate is not a walk in the park either. Hiring of cabin crew and pilots is also quite expensive too. Those heavy monetary reasons are enough to make you hire private jets on a set cost only when you need to. That is way better than opting to spend a lump sum on buying your own jet that you might not even need to use from time to time.
- LIMITED DESTINATIONS
People tend to think private jets can only fly to specific destinations which is utterly not the case. It’s the customer who decides where to fly to and their preferred airport to take off and land from. The customer is at liberty to decide on that since private air charters don’t run on scheduled operations unlike commercial flights.
- ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS
Private jets also tend to be associated with destroying mother nature through air pollution. However, what most people don’t know is that many jet companies have advanced their technology to ensure the emissions from the jets are controlled.
Private jets have a system that shows carbon footprints. This feature helps in showing any damage to the environment that has been caused during flights. The carbon footprints play a significant role in ensuring the jets minimize air pollution.
- PRIVATE JETS ARE SLOWER
Unlike commercial flights, private air jets are the fastest to use and at one’s convenience. One does not need to spend hours queueing at airport check points as security check processes are faster since its fewer people travelling.
A passenger boarding a private jet is at liberty to have their travel purposes fulfilled faster upon their landing. That is made possible since the passenger is free to land at their choice of airstrip or airport, making it easier for them to achieve their travel agenda even faster.
ALL IN ALL..
Myths are some of the few unrealistic norms that will continue to exist in the society even if light is shed to them. The myths I have highlighted above clearly show you that there is so much about private air charters that most people out there are still oblivious about. Private air jets are significantly the most reliable and fast means of air travel for a person based on their needs be it leisure, business or even medical matters. Jets are very time saving and ensures ultimate privacy of passengers and their comfort during one’s travel.
