What are the advantages?
There are several factors that make business aviation more advantageous than airline travel. The first is the capability to change your travel plans when your needs dictate. Other factors are:
- No hassles with 1 hour prior to departure check in times
- Avoiding long security screening lines and restrictions
- Your luggage arrives when you do
- No penalties for changing your itinerary
The second advantage is the capability to access more airports:
- You can arrive closer to your actual destination
- Avoid the delays and hassles of larger and/or busy airports
- The airlines only serve about 4% of the over 5,000 airports across the U.S.
The third definitive advantage is the time savings
- Time is a finite resource
- Your time is valuable
- time saved = increased productivity = financial gain
- There is a direct correlation between time savings and improvement in your personal quality of life
Along with the inherent inefficiency associated with the airline’s ‘hub and spoke’ system, you may also be subjected to delays due to weather, maintenance, etc. With business aviation, you maintain the ability to change almost every aspect of your travel, and thus optimize efficiency.
