Sales of private jets world has gone up by about 35%. This is an increasingly disturbing trend for commercial airlines since it has also been observed that the number of business class passengers flying regularly with commercial airlines, had halved over the time, from 18% to 9%.What can explain this trend, The ever increasing number of people turning towards the private charters, fractional ownership of planes and actually buying their exclusive private jets for either business or leisure purposes? It could be ever steeply climbing apprehensions about their safety, with the number of hijack instances steadily rising, the recent show of terrorism, increased frisking and security at the airport terminals which tend to put harried business people off.

However, the fact that the hair rising cost of these planes is justifiable or not is debatable and a million things could be said for and against it. The kick, the fancy, the time saved, the productivity gained, the access, the freedom, the power and the fact that he owns the craft he is flying in. Now, isn't all that quite enough for him to go ahead and pamper himself over The Atlantic, with his all new, very blue, high speed luxury cruiser? About the Author |
