Trends in Private Jet Travel

Edgar Alacan co-founded luxury air travel provider Jets.com in 2008 with the mission of providing high quality service while emphasizing safety standards. As one of the company’s most senior leaders, Edgar Alacan manages all day-to-day operations and has seen the company’s sales skyrocket to over 40 million dollars annually.

Increased private jet travel has been fueled by business passengers flying domestically. The vast majority of these passengers work for small to large companies, not multi-nationals, indicating that improvements in the economy are being felt in businesses of all sizes.

Some jet providers are experiencing record numbers of first-time customers, as many organizations are choosing private jets to transport their executives to conferences or important meetings. The increase in demand for private chartered flights has also attracted more flyers to member plans. With a membership or prepaid flyer card, guests are guaranteed access to an aircraft and may be offered other perks such as lower hourly rates.
