WINGS OF FLIGHT

Travellers can now experience greater flexibility without the burdens and expenses of owning a jet. Empty-leg charter flights are gaining popularity as they allow fliers to select specific routes and enjoy the flexibility that perfectly suits their requirements.

CHOICES AND CONVENIENCE

Although jets remain the top choice, several other types of private aircraft are now available, greatly enhancing the convenience and cost-effectiveness of this mode of travel.

NEW FLYERS

A newer customer base includes frequent first-class and business-class flyers. While previously marketing emphasised the joys of luxury and speed, operators are now showcasing the benefits of flying on private jets.

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT

Corporate aviation integrates advanced digital technology to enhance the flying experience, such as in-flight wifi that enables passengers to work or relax during their journey. The rise of digitisation is driven by safety considerations and is essential for its added convenience.
