Charter Jets Not Just For Celebrities Anymore

Business professionals are taking a page out the books of celebrities and the wealthy elite and chartering private jet flights for their travel needs. The private, and expensive, flights can be considered increased business efficiency since an entire group of business executives can easily make it to and back from an important meeting without waiting from security checks or being at the mercy of commercial flight delays.

NATA, a charter trade group, reports that charter flights are growing at a rate of 10 percent each year mostly due to the increase in the number of wealthy and availability of private jet flights and the decrease in the quality of commercial flight service. Charter flights cost $2500 a hour and up for a small plane. A small group of people can fly on a Boeing Business Jet for about $15,000 an hour.
