The private jet sector is experiencing a significant rise in flights and demand from those who would not ordinarily fly on one.
This is primarily due to the coronavirus pandemic, commonly known as COVID-19, which has forced commercial airlines to cancel flights all around the world. In the international economy, world markets, and the aviation sector, the crisis has triggered unprecedented events. While commercial airlines are grounded, several private jet and chartered jet companies are seeing an increase in travel requests and passengers being flown.
Many nations are already closing their borders or prohibiting travel, making it difficult for travelers who wish to return home, attend essential business meetings, or finish personal matters to fly to their destination. Commercial airlines have been urged to maintain a low passenger list, which will inevitably make company unsustainable because they rely on customers to stay afloat. Many commercial airlines have grounded their planes as a result of these realities.
With international air travel traffic dropping by an estimated 70%, private and chartered flights may be the safest option. As a result, many people who want to fly even during the pandemic will have to hire a private plane.
Raymart Aircraft is still in business, providing high-end private aviation services to those who require them. To safeguard the health and safety of our flight crew and passengers, we have taken the appropriate precautions.
The standard requirements for health and safety are being complied to:
- Before every flight, we take our crew’s temperature.
- The crew is required to remain on board the plane at all times when it is on the ground.
- Every day, we sterilize the plane with medical-grade cleaning solutions.
- We also give the airport authorities a safety assessment and a flight plan, which they send to the health authorities.
Taking every care during these tough times isn’t excessive, but we pledge to retain the highest degree of expertise and continue to provide our premium services.
Here are some of the reasons why the private jet industry is booming at this time.
Private jets can easily fly in and out of lock down zones
Smaller passenger lists make landing and flying out of lockdown zones easier for a private jet. It is now easier to book a private jet flight than it is to book a commercial airline ticket to many places across the world. With the travel restriction in force in many countries, commercial airlines are facing increased screening measures implemented by governments concerned about a big inflow of people at their borders, forcing them to board fewer individuals.
Due to fewer passengers the private aircraft can be screened quite faster and the passengers can be on their way.
There are lesser crowds
When passengers on a private aircraft pass through security procedures at a private airport terminal and board their plane, they are reported to be at a lesser risk of contracting COVID-19. Smaller jets can’t handle a large number of passengers due to their size and capacity, thus there will be less people in the terminal and on the plane. Because there is limited touch with everyone, this concept makes a lot of individuals feel more at ease. Many people would rather fly solo or with a small group of people than travel commercially with a large group of people they don’t know or can’t adequately observe.
Better social distancing
In a time like this, social distancing is critical for air transport passenger safety. The private aircraft sector is focused on privacy and comfort, which aligns perfectly with COVID-19 passenger safety requirements.
Depending on the size of the jet, regular passenger numbers for small private jet flights range from 1 to 18. In practice, private jets feature a flight system that allows for social distance.
Private jets are cleaner
The elegance and superior sanitary requirements of the private aircraft sector are well-known. Because of the nature of the coronavirus and how it spreads, this naturally instills trust in passengers boarding a private plane. There are actions that must be taken to reduce the risk of exposure and contamination, the most important of which is regular cleaning of surfaces and hand washing, both of which are done adequately on a private aircraft.
It would be difficult to maintain commercial airplanes clean because of their size and nature. However, due to its size and the normal methods of providing premium service to customers, cleaning and sanitizing a private aircraft is easier.
You do not have to switch planes
The advantage of flying in a private aircraft is that you can arrive at your destination quickly. With the exception of refueling the plane, there are no stops on the trip. As a result, there will be fewer individuals entering and exiting the plane, reducing the risk of infection.
Because people embark and depart at different routes and destinations, commercial aircraft must make numerous stops at various airports all over the world. Passengers may become infected as a result of this, and passengers may lose confidence in flying commercially.
Conclusion
If you still travel by commercial airline, getting a flight to your location during the epidemic may be challenging. Although a private flight is more expensive, you can rest comfortable that you will be protected from the coronavirus by increased safety procedures.
