Chartering a private jet or air taxi can be all things to everyone for almost any reason, but is not about hype. It offers real and serious benefits to individuals and businesses alike. Here is a simple overview of what makes private flying such a winner.
Private Aircraft Charter offers you the advantage
Saving Time
Booking a flight requires no more than a few phone calls and an email. We save you time by working out and planning the best route and itinerary while you get on with your day. Airports are often closer to your points of departure and arrival thereby minimising road time. Check-in times are minimal, seldom more than fifteen minute is required as you avoid terminals and queues and your luggage accompanies you throughout. Charter aircraft are fast and flexible in the air and usually make use of more direct routes than large scheduled aircraft.
Saving Money
Not to mention that saving time so often is saving money, when you charter an aircraft you do just that, charter the whole aircraft, not just a seat. Within the capacity of the aircraft adding passengers to your group incurs no cost at all. Very soon the equivalent number of individual tickets can add up to more than your charter. Personalised schedules can reduce or even eliminate the need for overnight accommodation away from your business; you reduce costs and improve productivity.
Integrity
Aviastra is founded on offering you the benefit of years of experience, practical unbiased advice and immediate simple access to worldwide aircraft charter. Information about yourself, your plans, your business and your schedule is kept in the strictest confidence.
Sometimes charter is perhaps not the way to go and we will always say so when we think this is the case. We are here to look after your best interests at every level. We earn the trust of our clients and we respect it.
Efficiency
Aviastra offers a central point of contact for all your air travel requirements. With your permission we keep your travel information on record making arrangement of short notice or frequent travel even quicker.
Time spent relaxing in the comfort of a private jet puts you in great condition to get on with things at your destination. Alternatively, don’t stop; a luxury cabin is ideal to continue or start that meeting, presentation or personal work.
Security & Safety
Here jet charter and air taxi flights have the edge on several levels.
At the airport your involvement with security protocols will be quick, polite and unobtrusive. Sometimes it will appear non-existent but be reassured that all the necessary administration has been done for you by Aviastra behind the scenes.
Charter passengers usually pass through private airport facilities with personal attention to everyone in the group throughout. Should you have them your own security staff can be accommodated and co-ordinated with airport and aircraft services.
Your luggage and valuables go to and from the aircraft with you. With few exceptions (certain restricted materials such as sporting ammunition) you decide what you carry on board and what you would like in the baggage compartment.
Aviastra will only ever fly you in an aircraft operated by a fully licensed operator, one holding a CAA issued Air Operator’s Certificate or national equivalent ensuring training, checking and operating standards are as high as the most prestigious national airlines. We keep records of all such certification and even then we are choosy, not all operators meet the highest standards of service that we insist upon on your behalf.
Flexibility
Changing plans, early finishes and business or holiday over-runs are not a problem – the whole purpose of charter is that it is your aircraft and your schedule. Charter operations are referred to as “ad-hoc”, they are based on quick and flexible responses to a quickly changing environment.
Occasionally important safety regulations on crew duty times may become involved and we will not promise that there will never be any change in costs (for example airports charge a fee to remain open after hours) but we do promise that we will do everything possible to accommodate your plans. Always you can avoid the total rigidity of an airline schedule.
Traveling with pets, special luggage, your meals, even preferring a particular newspaper or magazine; private aircraft flying is about you and what you require.
Exclusivity
A luxury perhaps but not always, the service given to clients and colleagues by the care and exclusivity of a private flight can make a big difference in a world where impressions count.
Business aside, you may choose to simply impress yourself. You work hard, you and your family deserve it!
Private charter is the preferred form of travel for many celebrities, dignitaries and VIP passengers. Aviastra makes the same degree of exclusivity available to our clients for whatever reason they are flying.
Service & Comfort
Once upon a time traveling by air was an event in its own right. With a private aircraft it still is, you only need to look through the aircraft guide to see the comfort and space afforded by the interior of charter jets. On the ground also you have the civilised comfort of your own lounges and staff to look after you.
Private air charter is bespoke; you will receive individual attention from start to finish. Every member of the team throughout your journey is there to ensure your safety and comfort.
