If you are a part owner of a jet, at the outset this seems to make sense because you have to invest a much smaller amount than if you purchased a jet outright. However, the problems begin when several part-owners need the services of the jet at the same time, typically at the beginning of the business week. In this instance, you would be paying your share of the aircraft yet could be left stranded without private transportation. With jet charter, a luxury jet is ready to go anytime you are. You can travel anywhere in the world with a jet rental, many more places than can a commercial aircraft, which is limited to 500 airports. With a jet charter, you have access to over 6,000 airports worldwide, so you can fly anywhere, anytime you need to go.

Another aspect to jet ownership requires you to expend funds for the maintenance of the jet. The jet that you partially own might not be located in your hometown, in which case that jet will have to fly out, often empty, to pick you up, then take you to your destination. All the while, you are paying for all those empty extra flights. Also, with several owners using a lighter business plane extensively, it will cause the plane to need to be in the hangar for maintenance and repairs for a longer time than would a heavier commercial airliner. All of this means a big expense to you, and yet again no plane available when you need it. When you use a jet charter, you pay for what you use, and nothing more. No more paying for fuel costs when a plane has to fly empty. You won't be waiting around for repairs to be completed. Instead, with one phone call, you can be up in the air and on your way anywhere in the world with as little as four hours notice.

Jet rentals are a more cost efficient solution to business travel needs than jet ownership. All you need to do is make one phone call, and leave all the flying details to your own personal air concierge, who will make all your desired arrangements for you. Every aspect of your jet charter flight will meet with your approval and to your specifications, unlike jet ownership where you might have to share the plane with others who have different needs and tastes from yours. When time equals money, make the smart choice and choose jet rental.
