Debating the most popular light jet available for air charter in the United States.

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

The most popular light business jet in the United States air charter market is the Beechjet 400. Many people would debate this statement; claiming the Lear 35 as the most popular business light jet. As far as business jet availability goes, they are correct. The Lear 35 does have market share dominance, but aircraft availability does not necessarily determine popularity or utility when it comes to business jets. Each of these light business jets has its advantages. The Lear 35 boasts low operating costs and higher speeds. While the Beechjet 400 offers longer range and a spacious and luxurious cabin.

When it comes to passenger comfort, the Beechjet 400 wins hands down. Both aircrafts can seat 6 passengers, but many of the Beechjet 400’s can seat 8. The Lear 35 typically has 4 club seats and a two place bench seat in the back of the cabin. The Beechjet 400 is a newer aircraft than the Lear 35. This light jet was designed to provide its passengers with room to stretch out. The Beechjet 400 typically has 6 individual club seats and a 2 place bench seat at the back of the cabin. The wider taller cabin of the Beechjet 400 provides for a comfortable more relaxing flight.

For longer distances the Beechjet 400 would be the preferred aircraft for charter. Its 1600nm range allows this light business jet to fly from Teterboro Executive Airport in New Jersey to Fort Lauderdale Executive non-stop. With a lighter payload and clear weather, the Lear 35 could also make the same trip. For individuals who charter jets for private use or vacations, storage capacity is going to be a consideration. The Lear 35 offers passengers 40 cubic feet of storage capacity. This should accommodate 5-6 overnight bags weighing less than 20lbs. each. One of the great benefits of the Beechjet 400 is additional storage capacity. The Beechjet 400 provides 56 cubic feet of external storage space and should be able to carry 4 sets of golf clubs and has additional storage space inside the cabin.

For individuals and businesses a like, unit cost (cost per passenger) is a primary factor when chartering a private or business jet. The low operating costs of the Lear 35 makes it an attractive choice for individuals chartering a private jet. Dependent upon the region of the country where the air charter originates, one can usually expect the price per hour of the Lear 35 to be around $2000 and $2500; whereas the price per hour for the charter of a Beechjet 400 can range from $2,750 to $3,200.

When you are determining which jet you prefer or is most suitable for your private or business jet charter trip, the best thing to do is to contact an air charter service provider. They have access to countless private jets all over the country and should be able to provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed decision.

Cheap Flights – A Guide to finding one way, empty leg and dead-head jet charter flights

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

In the private jet charter industry the term cheap flights is relative. To the average person a cheap flight is a $99 one-way they found on Southwest or Jet Blue. But for private jet charter flights, the term cheap flight means finding a one-way, empty leg or dead-head flight. Whatever term you want to use when talking about a cheap charter flight doesn’t matter, knowing how to find, create and book a cheap charter flights does. Every charter flight you purchase cannot be an empty leg, but this guide will help you know when to look for one. One ways help you save money on your charter flight enabling you to fly on a private jet for a price better than fair market value. The best way to take advantage of these cheap flights, it is important to know how the private jet charter industry works and what the traffic patterns look like in a market that is conducive to buying and selling empty legs.

Creating and finding empty leg and one way charter flights Just like you private jets have a home too. Dependent upon the duration of your jet charter trip, the charter flight may require that your aircraft flies home while you are enjoying your stay and then return empty to fly you home. When this happens, the aircraft generally flies home empty. That is how an empty leg or dead head is created. A savvy charter agent will recognize this and can market that leg for sale. This sale is known as a one-way charter flight. One way charter flights are cheapest when the charter flight consumer has the same routing as the aircrafts return flight. But if you don’t know your air charter agent well, you may never see the benefit of these sales, you may not even be aware when a sale has taken place. We recommend that you find an air charter agent that you trust and develop a relationship. This will help ensure that you receive the best prices for your jet charter flights.

Market Research – The right conditions for empty leg private charter flights

Knowing how empty leg charter flights are created gives you an insight into the conditions that increase the likelihood of scoring a cheap charter flight. But what other factors do we need to look at when thinking of purchasing or selling an empty leg? This is a good question. The routing or flight itinerary of the charter flight plays a significant role in the marketability and sale of an empty leg. You could imagine that an empty leg charter flight from Salt Lake City, UT to Pocatello, ID might be tough to sell, but what about a charter flight between New York and South Florida or a charter flight between Los Angeles and New York? The more common of routing for the charter flight the more likely that a one-way can be bought or sold.

While routing is an important factor in the availability and marketability of one way charter flights, demand for charter flights is heavily influenced by the current social calendar of its consumers. An experienced air charter agent can see the impact a busy social calendar has on charter flight traffic. They understand these trends and how to take advantage these opportunities when arranging charter flights for their clients. Often times a major event, such as the Super bowl or a change of the season will spur a lot of air charter activity that many of the charter jets available to on-demand fliers will be flying in the same direction.

Caveat Emptor –Safety Concerns with Charter Flights Provided by Non-Certified Pilots

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Stratos Jet Charters is a well known resource to those seeking information on jet charters and jet rental service. As the private aviation industry grows and welcomes a new wave of jet charter flyers to their ranks; Stratos Jet Charters will continue to provide assistance to jet charter flyers. Their goal is to help jet charter flyers make informed decisions by educating them on important issues related to private charter flights, jet charters and air charter safety.

Requirements for Legal Charter Flight Operations

The Federal Aviation Administration requires all charter flights to be conducted under Part 135 operations. Even though these rules are clearly spelled out, private pilots and aircraft owners regularly provide air transportation to friends and friends of friends. While this arrangement is perfectly acceptable under Federal Aviation Administration Part 91 regulations, they are forbidden from profiting from their service. Unfortunately, illegal charter flights of this nature are conducted everyday under the Part 91 guidelines. There are some key issues that one should be aware of regarding the safety and insurability of one who engages in this activity.

Part 135 – Charter Flight Safety

Part 135 requirements for aircraft maintenance and safety procedures are far stricter than that of the general aviation Part 91 requirements. The FAA requires that all charter flights be conducted under the Part 135 Operating Requirements. These requirements are designed to provide a standard for professionalism, safety and best practices within the private charter flights industry. The Part 135 rules govern pilot training and experience, aircraft maintenance, safety procedures, insurance requirements and the general best practices of the airplane charter industry. It is important to one’s own safety to make sure that the aircraft is a registered Part 135 Certificate holder and is in good standing with the FAA before chartering a private jet. One should first determine whether or not any limitations have been placed on the charter operator’s operations specifications (ability to fly charter flights). These limitations could be limited to the charter company’s ability to provide international charter flights or prevent the charter operator from conducting flights under the instrument flight rules. It is important to know the operational history of the company providing the charter flight. Make sure that your charter agent or broker works only with reputable FAA certified air charter operators.

Part 135 – Charter Flight Insurance Requirements

In tough economic times people begin looking for ways to bring in extra income in order to support their expensive hobbies. For most hobbies, this can be a great way to continue the activities one most enjoys. Like the fisherman who loves to fish that applies for his captain’s license in order to fish on the weekends or the golfer who gives a few lessons to pay his weekly greens fees. The general aviation pilot who charters his plane for private and business flights however, is breaking the law and putting their passengers at risk. Illegal charter flights violate the terms of the insurance required for legitimate Part 135 charter flights. This means that in event of an accident or injury the passenger may not have adequate insurance coverage to meet their needs or the needs of their family. This can be especially dangerous to jet charter consumers who unknowingly fly on part 91 flights. Even those who used a jet charter broker, who put his own interests ahead of their clients or did not do the appropriate research to verify operational history of the aircraft operator. Stratos Jet Charters recommends requesting a background repot of the aircraft operator for all charter flights.

Jet Charter Agents – Their Role in arranging charter flights.

The air charter agent’s knowledge of the charter market plays an extremely valuable role in arranging charter flights. The primary role of the air charter agent is to know the operational history of the part 135 certificate holders and to ensure the qualifications of the pilots when arranging charter flights. A caring and professional air charter agent will put the safety of their client first will provide them with a detailed report verifying the Part 135 certificate and the pilots level of experience. If your charter flight agent does not provide this background report with your flight itinerary, you should ask to see it. Third party verification companies make it easy for air charter agents to quickly research the safety habits of the charter aircrafts operations.

International Charter Flights – Things you need to know

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Internationals charter flights are a bit more complicated than your typical interstate charter flight. When travelling internationally, there are customs procedures, restrictions on travel items and International fees. The FAA has numerous rules governing charter flights that enter or leave the United States. Dependent upon which country or geographical area you are entering or leaving from could determine your flight plan. For those planning to travel outside the United States, it would be wise to brush up on some of the rules governing international charter flights.

For those thinking of or planning to charter a jet to the US or British Virgin Islands, Mexico, the Caribbean and the Atlantic Coast; those charter flights will be subject to Customs Special Landing Requirements. In an effort to prevent drug smuggling, the US Customs Service has established reporting procedures for all private aircrafts arriving in the United States from a foreign location in the Western Hemisphere south of the 30 degrees latitude and for those charter flights entering the United States from the Pacific Coast south of the 33 degrees North Latitude will also be subject to these rules. The rules for charter flights of this nature, is that they must furnish notice of their intended arrival to US Customs and MUST land at one of thirty-one designated airports that are nearest to the border or coastline. Aircraft operators may apply for an “over-flight exemption”, which allows you to bypass this requirement.

International charter flights are subject to unique tax reporting requirements and thus international charter flights are defined by the IRS as “any charter flight that does not begin or end in the United States or the “225 mile zone” or is uninterrupted international air transportation.” For inbound and outbound charter flights that meet the above definition of an international charter flight are not subject to the 7.5% FET that is standard on all US domestic air charter flights. International fees imposed by foreign governments, may apply to international charter flights outside the United States. The previously mentioned “225 mile zone” only applies to air charter flights entering into either Canada or Mexico and does not apply to the Caribbean Islands. Therefore, an air charter flight from the United States to Jamaica or Grand Tortola would not be subject to FET. Whereas a flight from Monterrey Mexico, which lies within the “225 mile zone” would be subject to the domestic Federal Excise Tax. International air charter flights require travelers to carry with them their valid government issued Passports or Visa. This law holds true even for international charter flights that happen to be within the “225 mile zone”.

There are also special rules governing the operation of charter jets for all US and non-domestic charter flights. International law governs the operational aspects of charter flights travelling between two or more countries. This means that US registered charter jets must comply with the laws of the country in which airspace they fly. It is important for operators who fly internationally to observe the laws governing international charter flights as a violation could result in the seizure of the aircraft. One violation that could result in the seizure of a charter jet would be “cabotage”. Cabotage occurs when a non-domestic aircraft is used for commercial transportation or for the industrial benefit of business between two points within a foreign country. Each country has their own specific rules governing cabotage restrictions, so it is important that the pilot and crew know the rule of the particular countries before they fly.

To ensure a hassle free international jet charter flight, one should book their charter flight from a knowledgeable and reputable air charter agent or charter flight provider. With so many companies capable of providing jet charter service, it is wise to select a reputable firm with experienced and knowledgeable air charter agents that you can trust. Stratos Jet Charters have extensive experience with international air charter flights and would be happy to become your resource for your domestic and international air charter flights.

Aircraft Profiles – Citation X

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

As businesses world-wide are seeking out ways to cut costs and streamline their activities, business air charter service providers are making adjustments to their fleet in order to cater to the demands of their clients. As a result of this shift, the super mid-sized category of charter aircrafts is quickly growing as the preferred business jet category. The super mid-sized category has been recently introduced and was developed to offer many of the benefits of the larger heavy jet category of aircrafts at a more economical price. Many of the benefits businesses offered by the super mid-sized category are: the extended range of the aircraft, its increased seating capacity and high speed.

One of the fastest growing business jet charter aircrafts in the world is produced by United States based company Cessna. The Cessna Citation X is dominating the mid-sized jet category and for good reason. The Cessna Citation X is the fastest aircraft available for charter and offers business and private aviation users the benefits of non-stop cross country range. In less than 4 hours, a Citation X is capable of flying 8 business executives from the executive airport at Van Nuys (VNY) in Southern California to Teterboro Executive Airport (TEB) near downtown New York and Manhattan.

The extended range and lightning quick speed of the Citation X allows it to cruise internationally as well. International charter flights from New York to London at one time required the charter of an expensive heavy jet like a Gulfstream GIV or Challenger 604. This is no longer the case. Not only can the Cessna Citation X fly across the pond; it can do it in record time! The typical 6.5 to 7 hour flight can now be flown in just under 6 hours when one chooses to charter a Citation X.

The advantage of the speed and range provided by Cessna’s Citation X not only provide businesses travelers with valuable time savings, but also does so without sacrificing the comfort of a large cabin. The 24 foot long stand up cabin offers a spacious interior that can be configured to seat up to 12 executive travelers. The advanced avionics and aerodynamic design features of Cessna’s Citation X also allow it to utilize a larger number of executive airports than any other large jet; as it is capable of landing safely on a 5,000ft runway.

The ultra high performance statistics of the Cessna Citation X are very attractive selling points to both businesses and air charter providers, but the greatest and possibly most valuable asset this business jet has to offer is the low acquisition and operating costs associated with owning or chartering a Citation X. The purchase of a new Citation X aircraft can be purchased or financed from Cessna for under 20million and can be custom configured to suit your needs. Compare the price of a new Citation X to that of the order of a new Gulfstream G200 at up to 25million; one can instantly see why the Citation X is so attractive. The lower acquisition costs of the Citation X translate into lower operating costs for air charter service providers. The impact of low operating costs on the Citation X has fueled the demand for this aircraft in the US business and private air charter market.

Cessna’s Citation X has led the way in defining luxury business air travel by constantly innovating and improving aircraft design and by providing significant value to their clients.

FAA Part 135 Charter Flights and Jet Charter Safety Standards for Air Charter Flights in the United States

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Safety in aviation has come a long way since the days of the Wright brothers and Amelia Earhart. There have been incredible advancements in aircraft design, engines, performance, avionics and materials. All of these advancements have collectively reduced the risk of flying. Over the past 100 years, the safety and maintenance procedures have been developed to contribute to the safety of the pilots and passengers. These standards have enabled the creation of a global industry for air travel. For many people, air travel and charter flights have become a necessary activity for business in today’s world. Unfortunately, aviation related accidents and fatalities are a part of life. So what can charter jet flyers do to protect themselves? Let’s take a closer look at the standards set forth by the FAA that regulates safety within in the private air charter industry along with ways that air charter flyers can research the level of experience their pilots may have.
The Federal Aviation Administration has created the Part 135 Regulations to standardize the safety and operations of aircraft charter flights taking place within the United States. The Part 135 Regulations govern non-scheduled flights where money is exchanged in excess of the direct operating costs of the flight. All non-owner flights where a profit is made are regulated by FAR Part 135 and require a Part 135 Certificate. This Part 135 Certificate spells out the specific maintenance requirements, pilot experience and appropriate level of insurance to be carried by the operator when making a profit.

While the Part 135 certification does set the standard safety procedures and pilot licensing requirements of all charter flights flown within the United States, these standards are recognized as the minimum standards required to conduct legal air charter flights. In order to provide jet charter flyers and charter jet consumers with the assurance that the charter jet operator does adequately meet the standards set forth by the FAA, third party companies are available for verification.

There are several third party air charter verification companies that can be hired to ensure safety; however two leading air charter safety verification companies ensure that charter jet operators not only meet the FAA requirements set forth in the Part 135 certification process, but also have increased safety standards of their own. These verification companies research the aircraft maintenance records through an onsite analysis; they review the pilots’ level of experience flying a given aircraft and the flight history of the charter jet certificate holder.

By hiring a third party to provide a detailed analysis for a proposed charter flight, can help to ensure that all of the standards set forth by the FAA are being exceeded and that only the most experienced pilots are in command of your charter flight. When scheduling a charter flight, an air charter agent can help to ensure that the aircraft you will be flying on is well-maintained and that your pilots have exceptional safety records. The knowledge of the charter jet industry along with the familiarity of pilots, crew and their experience that is held by most air charter agents, makes chartering a private jet simple. In addition to providing you with multiple options, air charter agents do the hard work and due diligence to ensure that the aircraft chartered on your behalf is the safest available.

COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF PRIVATE JETS AND JET CHARTER TRAVEL

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

During an important meeting with executives of your firm, you learn that some potentially large clients or investors want to set up a meeting with your company. The client has agreed to meet with you in your offices and is expecting you to make all of the arrangements for their travel. A good impression is meaningful and lasting. To ensure that the face-to-face meeting strengthens the relationship between the two companies, the idea of chartering a private jet has been tossed around. How do you decide that this circumstance warrants private jet charter over the purchase of first class airline tickets?

First, let’s look at the benefits of chartering a private jet opposed to purchasing first class tickets for your clients. The experience of flying on a private jet is relaxing yet exciting and will likely put your client in a good mood when he or she arrives for the meeting. Another benefit of a charter flight is that it is arranged around the client’s schedule, and eliminates delayed and or canceled flights. A private jet allows your client to avoid long security lines. Private jets also allow access to smaller private airports that are often times located much nearer to the place at which they intend to meet. On a private jet charter, clients can depart the same day and arrive home in time to beat the traffic. If impressions are truly meaningful and lasting, then chartering a private jet will send a clear message that your client is important to the firm.

The luxury and convenience of private jet charter travel comes with cost. When comparing the actual dollar cost of a private jet charter and a first class airline ticket, the airlines win hands down. The cost of chartering a private jet can easily be four times that of an airline ticket in the first class section. The value of jet charter travel is found in its convenience, not its price tag. For a small firm that is hoping to land a big client; chartering a private jet may come at great expense. But losing the opportunity to meet with an important client face-to-face due to airline delays or canceled flights could cost the company far more.

Stratos Jet Charters Arranges Private Jet Relief Mission to Haiti

Monday, March 1st, 2010

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost been two months since the 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the Haitian capital of Port Au Prince. Sadly, many victims are still in dire need of medical supplies and attention. Over the past several weeks, many individuals and missionaries have stepped forward to donate their time and resources; oftentimes relying on private air charter to deliver medical supplies and personnel to the disaster site.

In light of this tragedy, Stratos Jet Charters recently arranged a successful air charter flight back from the Port Au Prince Airport (MTPP) to the Ft Lauderdale airport. The passengers aboard the charter flight – medical staff and members of the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church – traveled to the Haiti to donate several containers of medical supplies and to treat victims of the earthquake. The church members worked in conjunction with Mission Haiti, an organization dedicated to helping Haitian orphans, to deliver the much-needed aid.

The private jet charter flight was coordinated by Stratos Jets senior air charter specialist Mark Bergau. After receiving a call from the church members, Bergau worked diligently to source the best, most highly-maintained aircraft to safely return the church group members back to the Ft. Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) on a private jet. He eventually found a safe and well-equipped Beech Jet 400 charter jet, capable of carrying up to nine passengers and 2,355 pounds of payload.

Stratos Jets agents have been expertly trained to handle all the logistics of air charter travel to destinations struck by natural disasters. Stratos Jets will continue to work non-stop to arrange private jet charter flights into the Port Au Prince airport, as safely and as efficiently as possible. For Christian church groups and missionaries contributing to the relief efforts, we promise to offer the lowest, best possible price for charter flights to and from the Port Au Prince airport.
