Fed Up Corporations Turn to Private Jets

An article on news website Fox has recently been published reporting on how many American and worldwide corporations are turning to private jets, due primarily to the increased cost efficiency of flying privately and the many failings of commercial airlines.

Between exhausting lines at security and countless flight delays and cancellations, the concept of a “quick flight” no longer exists.
In reaction, many corporations are taking matters into their own hands by investing in corporate jets to fly executives and employees on business flights

This is of course nothing new, we have long known about the advantages private jet charter holds over commercial aviation. However, as the economies of the western nations begin to recover slowly from the downturn and those of developing nations and China grow feverishly, private jet hire is starting to truly come into its own, offering a level of service, speed and customer satisfaction very rarely duplicated by commercial operators.

No matter how comfortable business class gets, you are still restricted to set timetables. You still have to go through a terminal, you still have to check-in. You still have to share your private, personal space with other strangers. As we know, none of this is the case with private aviation.

With private jet rental becoming more economical and continuing to further demonstrate its effectiveness, perhaps now is the time, if you haven’t before, to consider it as an option for your travel needs. With Jet Booking Direct you can quickly and easily request a quote for your flight itinerary. It’s no obligation and you can also call us on 0800 6226 538 if you have questions or feel you need to discuss your requirements in more detail.

The English Grand National is one of the world’s most prestigious horse races. Each year 40 horses line-up to tackle the marvellous Aintree course. Four & half miles in length and with 30 fence jumps, the Grand National is arguably the toughest test of horse and jockey in the world.

This year the Grand National will be held on Saturday the 9^th of April and if you wish to avoid the chaos of driving and parking why not charter a helicopter and arrive in stress free style ready for the day!

If you are interested in helicopter transfers to and from the Grand National please get in touch with a member of the team today via the contact us page to discuss your requirements!

Citation X to be superseded by G650

When you fly privately with Jet Booking Direct, you get access to some of the finest Jets in the world. One of these is the Cessna Citation X. The X is particularly notable as it is the fastest civilian Jet in the world. That’s means it flies faster than any Airliner (e.g. Boeing/Airbus) topping out at an incredible Mach 0.92. This insatiable level of performance means that flying the X gets you to your destination faster than any other mode of transport – save strapping yourself to a missile!

However, the X is not a new Jet, it has been around since 1996. Whilst this is not exactly old by Jet standards (some Airliners you may have flown in could be as old as 30 years) it is now set to be superseded shortly by the Gulfstream G650. The G650 is currently under development, but when complete and released it will exceed the X’s maximum speed by .005 Mach. Whilst this is not a huge amount, it will also be a newer Jet with more modern and updated interiors, avionics and all round performance. Additionally, the G650 has a maximum takeoff weight three times that of the X, and the range is a whopping 7,000 nautical miles – double that of the Cessna.

So the G650 will be able to fly you further, faster, and easier than ever before. And of course, as soon as it is available, we will be able to charter the G650.
