When would chartering an aircraft be the best solution for travel managers?
When it comes to managing travel for business trips, each comes with its own complications, so when does it make the most sense for travel managers to switch to an aircraft charter over scheduled service? As a provider of aircraft charters, with over three decades of experience, we’ve had seemingly impossible requests come through that we’ve managed to make viable solutions.
Small groups on tight schedules
When deadlines are tight, even small groups can get caught out by the time taken using scheduled airlines, let alone larger groups forced to travel over multiple aircraft. In cases such as this, our private jets department is ideally placed to ensure smaller groups can be agile, allowing them to navigate tight schedules with ease. You can find an example of one such charter, here - flying-business-executives-across-western-australia - this hasn’t been translated so will need translating.
Multi-stop tours and complex itineraries
When a trip has multiple stops, or an especially complicated itinerary, trying to get scheduled services to fit, can result in having to extend the trip to accommodate flight availability, and time spent transiting through airports. Choosing to charter an aircraft means it can be ready to go when you are, and with preclearance you can arrive and start boarding with minimal delay. Our private jets team have experience in arranging aircraft to suit all kinds of situations, some examples of which you can find here and here.
Large groups
When travelling as part of a large group, getting everyone on board a single aircraft using scheduled services can be impossible, and usually you end up booking seats across a selection of flights, then regrouping at the destination, waiting for everyone to arrive before enjoying the rest of your trip. We have experience in moving all manner of large groups, including this one, which was for a group of over a thousand passengers.
Multiple charters programmes
Another nuance of large group travel is when you’re bringing people from a multitude of places to converge in one, or vice versa, which requires multiple aircraft all coordinated to arrive at the same time. Our global network means we shine in these circumstances, as we can ensure we have people in the region to help ensure smooth transits no matter where your groups are leaving from, or heading to, an example of which you can find here.
Hard-to-reach destinations
Have you been asked to get a group of passengers somewhere off the beaten path? Or perhaps their timeline simply isn’t doable with the flights available. We have the expertise to ensure that no matter where or when your group wants to fly, we can find the best solution to their nuanced requirements. We’ve plenty of examples of when we’ve found a way to make the seemingly impossible, possible, and here’s one of our favourites.
