There’s nothing that compares with the luxury of traveling by way of private jet, especially in this age of heightened airport security, and longer lines and delays encountered by travelers for just about every commercial flight. And when it comes to private jet travel, there is nothing that compares with ExcelAire. 25A magazine is happy to offer some information from David Rimmer at ExcelAire to pique your interest in this unparalleled form of travel. 

 

 

Convenience, productivity, comfort, service and reliability, to name a few. Private jets do what the scheduled airplanes simply cannot – fly business and leisure travelers on their own schedule to multiple destinations at convenient airports, without the hassles of flight delays, long security lines, misplaced bags and poor service. Business travelers can use the jet as an extension of their office, turning travel time into productive business time. And for leisure travelers, vacations start the minute they arrive at the airport, with personalized catering, in-flight entertainment and luxurious state-of-the-art airplanes. And everyone is treated as a valued guest. 

 

 

Without a doubt, charter is the least expensive way to travel via private jet because you pay as you fly. Unlike fractional ownership or jet cards that require customers to tie up massive amounts of cash, charter is pay-as-you-go. Also, private jet charter gives you the flexibility to use the right jet for each trip based on the length of your trip, number of seats needed, etc., rather than being tied into a specific aircraft. 

 

 

The most important consideration is safety; all private jet operators are not created equal. And you shouldn’t base your decision on price alone. Ideally, you should visit the private jet operator you are considering flying with, meet their key personnel and gain a level of comfort based on what you see and hear. You should ask for the operator’s third-party safety audit ratings (Wyvern and ARG/US), question how long the company has been in business, the longevity of the pilots with the company and their experience flying the aircraft you are chartering. Also, ask if the operator performs its own maintenance or farms it out to outside vendors. 

 

 

ExcelAire is one of the nation’s leading private jet charter firms, specializing in worldwide jet charters, aircraft management, maintenance and sales. It has a fleet of more than 20 jets, including the largest fleet of Legacy jets dedicated to charter in the U.S. The company maintains almost 200,000 square feet of office and hangar space at Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP), conveniently located for easy access to New York City and the Hamptons.
