In a world filled to the brim with recession and environmental crises, private charters have taken a bad rap. Major auto companies cruised to DC in expensive private jets, only to ask Congress for hordes of bailout money. In 2007, the now infamous Live Earth concert, a supposedly carbon-neutral event, hosted a bevy of artists jetting themselves, and their sizable entourages, on private carriers to the show – stomping-down a hefty eco-footprint.
Understandably, the world of private chartered flights has taken a downturn in the public eye. But still, there is an argument in defense of the economical aspects of private flights. CNN reported in April 2009 the many advantages for business to opt for private flights versus commercial airlines.
Founder of private jet company Jetpool Ryan Stone says, “A private jet can be a way to tighten the belt, if it is done properly. You have to do the analysis. In many cases, the results would surprise people.”
Maersk Air is committed to assisting all customers with finding the most convenient, comfortable, and affordable jet charter services available.
