Private jets have been a means of corporate travel for a long time. In the current economy however corporations need to have a frugal public image and having their corporation figure heads flying around in expensive company owned private jets is not the image they want in the public eye.
While they may not actually be cutting back they at the very least need to make it look as if they have and that is the reason that many large corporations have turned to hiring private charter jets. These flights still provide their employees and clients with a first class flight experience however they do wind up costing the company less because they don’t have to maintain their own staff and fleet which can add up to a much larger investment.
Since private charters can be conveniently booked within just a few hours time they still provide the company with the convenience and flexibility they need and having everything fully supplied by the private jet company allows them to still individualize each flight according to who will be traveling with them. A much more efficient means of travel then commercial airlines, private jets provide a quiet work environment for business people on the go.
Using a private charter service allows large corporate figureheads to save face in light of the current economy while still allowing them to provide everyone with the comfort and customized service that makes flying a true pleasure. Saving face in this way while cutting expenses is a good solid business decision and one that many companies are using to improve their overall public image.
