benefits of using air charter
COST |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A
single passenger traveling from Grand Rapids, MI to Chicago's O'Hare Field might spend $800 to $1100 on a round trip ticket purchased less than 7 days in advance. If two or more persons are traveling, the total cost would be at least $1000, and even greater for three or more. We can fly this party (3 persons for this example) in our Piper Seneca to Chicago for $1100, round-trip, total cost. The savings for two is evident and is even more significant if three or more travelers are considered. Regardless of one passenger or four, the cost would be the same; $900. There are however, many reasons other than cost to choose private air travel. This example affords an approximate 66% discount for these 3 travelers. |

SECURITY |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| By
chartering an aircraft you are riding with only those persons in your group. This eliminates many types of potential security problems that corporate executives may find of concern. Special equipment and other items that you may not be able to, or comfortable checking through airline baggage, can travel securely with you on a charter aircraft. |

CONVENIENCE |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We depart when you choose to. Business travelers especially appreciate the ability to get there exactly when they need to and leave when they are ready. No airline schedules to keep track of and no last flights out to miss. Very often an overnight business trip can be turned into a day trip, eliminating the added costs of hotel rooms, meals, rental cars, etc.. |

TIME
SAVED |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Although
our aircraft are generally slower than a commercial jet airliner, our point to point time en route can be shorter. When our passengers arrive at the airport for a charter trip, we leave immediately. No ticket lines, no baggage check-in, no waiting to board and pushback. We would have our hypothetical Chicago bound passengers halfway there by the time a commercial airliner requested takeoff clearance from the tower. We cannot say that a passenger would never experience an unexpected delay on a charter, as we are subject to the same air traffic and weather exposure as the airlines, but we do not face many of the other delay factors that they are subject to. The approximate time the party would take from arrival at Grand Rapids Airport to exiting the airport in Chicago would probably be well over two hours on a commercial airline; we can do it in one. For the business traveler, this could mean a shorter day because they will get the same benefit on the return trip. The time saved becomes even more significant where compared against a destination that incorporates a connection through another city. |

AIRPORT
OPTIONS |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The
large size of today's commercial jet aircraft preclude them from landing at 80% of the airports in the USA. Many of these fine smaller airports are located in the same small towns that are the final destination of many travelers. Using the commercial airlines, these folks often need to fly into a large city airport and then drive 50 to 100 miles or more to reach their final destination. Most smaller cities have an airport nearby and we can often deliver the traveler to within a few miles of their final destination, saving time and rental car costs. |

THE
INTANGIBLES |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Arriving
by private charter can provide an 'image boost' when doing business with an organization out of town. It also enables traveling employees to arrive at their destination a bit fresher than they might otherwise be after having gone through the multiple phase airline procedures involved in even a single segment airline flight. The charter aircraft experience also "puts you in the sky" much more vividly that an airliner; instead of that little 9"x11" view of the world (if you have a window seat) you get in an airliner, you have almost a 320° panoramic view of the flight. Coffee, soft drinks & other beverages, donuts and light snacks are all standard amenities. We also provide specific food and beverages on request. |
