Fly Safely by Private Jet

Flying Private and Private Jet charters are so much more than just a fancy way of flying, they are a safe, convenient and flexible alternative way to travel. The covid pandemic has changed society and its views regarding travel with air travel being of particular concern to many. Flying private is a great option that takes the tension out of flying. Private travel allows you to skip the airport, queues, check-in and safety screening and gives travelers more control on their surroundings. Not only is this a more convenient and enjoyable way of traveling, it is also much safer.

Air travel is the safest mode of transport with one fatal accident per million flights. As aviation has developed over the years, aviation has been getting safer and safer. This has not been by chance, but has been a targeted focus on making the industry safer. Over the years strict quality and safety standards have been adopted and a more structured approach to safety adopted.

Strict Regulatory Oversight

Regulation of aviation begins at country level with local bodies managing and regulating aviation within their jurisdiction. Regulators such as Transport Canada, and FAA in the USA, EASA in Europe and other authorities maintain safety standards in their relative countries and regions. Globally the ICAO and IATA are responsible for ensuring that international aviation standards are maintained. They monitor and regulate how aircraft are operated and ensure adherence to standards. The regulators have the duty to ensure that each aircraft on the register, each company and each crew member is compliant with aviation regulations.

Private Jet operators are rated for their quality and safety standards and each operator strives to keep the highest rating possible. Independent organizations such as ARGUS, NBAA listed below, also play an important role in working with the industry and regulators to ensure flight safety.

  • Regulators such as FAA, Transport Canada, TC, EASA, DGCAA, UK CAA
  • National Business Aviation Association (NBAA)
  • ARGUS International
  • Better Business Bureau
  • Flight Safety International
  • The Air Charter Association
  • Air Charter Association of North America (ACANA)
  • European Business Aviation Association (EBAA)

Airworthy Aircraft

Aircraft undergo regular and rigorous maintenance inspections in order to keep them airworthy. Before each flight and at given intervals aircraft are inspected to ensure that the aircraft is airworthy and can make the flight.

Competent Workforce

Millions of dollars are invested into the global aviation workforce each year. All staff that work on aircraft, pilots and mechanics are required to continuously upgrade their training. Pilots have special training for each aircraft type that they fly and are required to have refresher courses regularly so they remain competent and up to date. Mechanics(engineers), operations staff and air traffic all have similar requirements to be up to date with training before they are able to work. This is to ensure that staff are able to carry out their duties to the highest standards possible.

Avoid traveling through busy airports

Airports have been reported to expose travelers to at least 700 touch points. These are 700 surfaces that travelers will potentially touch when passing through an airport till boarding. This exposes travelers to higher risks of contamination and exposure to viruses such as covid. When flying private, travelers can drive directly to their jet and avoid the airport terminal completely. It figures that the less surfaces one touches, the less likely they are to get exposed to the covid virus.

Choose the people you travel with

A great benefit of private travel is the ability to choose the people you travel with. By being able to travel with just those around you or your immediate family, you are able to control the amount of risk you are exposed to. Being able to choose who you travel with and being able to fly private is a sure way of keeping exposure at bay.

Privacy and Security

One benefit of traveling private is the added privacy and security that private airports afford. Celebrities, politicians and well to do people choose private travel before of the limited contact with people outside of their group. It is much easier to manage security at small private airports than it is when walking through a busy airport. Privacy and security are invaluable and make chartering a private jet the perfect mode of transport for those who require privacy and security.

 

Brokers have your back!

Just like travel agents are able to break down and give you the advice you need to make your trips a success, brokers also have your back. Brokers like Charterly are diligent in making sure that customers get the best value for their money. They have the knowledge and experience to help clients make the best decisions and point them to operators that maintain high safety standards. Brokers help to keep safety standards high so that their customers keep coming back.

As statistics have shown, it is safe to fly private and the industry continues to strive towards even higher safety standards.
