Since owning a private aircraft requires high maintenance costs, chartering private jets have become the most effective and functional alternative for air travel.
Practical, fast, and comfortable – these words describe the popular way to fly for exclusive national and international travelers. With just a call, you can specify the aircraft type and destination, and within hours you can have a private plane on a runway, ready to carry passengers within or outside the country.
Those awkward lines to check-in and dragging your luggage around the airport are no longer necessary thanks to service companies such as ours that allow for easy private jet charter. But beyond the obvious reasons of wanting to avoid airports for senior executives worldwide, chartering a private plane or charter flight has become an option that helps them save money and especially time.
“If a manager needs to review three factories in one day on a commercial airline, it would be impossible to do so due to stop, controls, and other delays. The question is, how much is their time worth? On a private flight, for example, they can accomplish video-conferences and boardroom meetings, which means that the time for productivity is not lost.” This is what Isaac Grimberg explains, CEO of Privé Jets – a service company for private flights with global coverage.

Participar en un programa de propiedad compartida ya no es la única forma de acceder a la aviación ejecutiva.

En casi 10 años se ha duplicado el número de jets privados en América Latina. Un mercado que crece con las grandes fortunas.
“Imagínese a Madonna en un aeropuerto”, dice Isaac Grimberg, CEO de la estadounidense Privé Jets para América Latina. “Colapsaría”.
Sin duda, la diva del pop no podría realizar sus extensas giras mundiales viajando en business, lo cual es extensivo a los presidentes, altos mandos políticos y militares y CEO de grandes compañías. No es cuestión de lujo u ostentación, sino también de seguridad, privacidad y eficiencia. “Es mucho más rentable tener a un ejecutivo volando en un jet donde puede ir trabajando, que tenerlo esperando en un aeropuerto comercial donde pierde por lo menos tres horas”, dice Grimberg.
Según un análisis de la compañía estadounidense Teal Group, en el mundo había 17.399 jets privados a diciembre de 2010, 63% más que en 2001. Dos tercios se encuentran en EE.UU. y Canadá, y 1.649 en América Latina, donde el mercado creció a un promedio anual de 9,5% (o sea, tres veces más que el hemisferio norte). Continue reading →

60% of the time, private jets fly without any passengers on board, Jets usually drop one client in point A and pick up the next one in point B. The distance from point A to point B could be a short hope like Miami to Ft. Lauderdale but it can also be a larger one like New York to Los Angeles. These flights without any passengers on board are called Empty Legs.
Empty legs are usually not offered by your local charter company, 25 hourly cards and fixed hourly programs. On the other hand, Prive Jets do offer empty legs when available to their clients at a point to point price and sometimes at lower prices. The most common routs for empty legs are the coast to coast flights such as New York to Los Angeles and vice versa or the north to south flights such as New York to Miami and vice versa.
Empty legs are not to be confused with one ways that are offered by 25 hour jet cards or fixed hourly programs. These programs claim to offer true one way pricing but the reality is far from the truth. A one way from NY to FL with a 25 hour card program can cost around $12,800 or $11,800 with a fixed hourly program when an empty leg can go for about $8,500 or less.
- What is the Visa waiver program (VWP)?
- Does it cover me?
- How do I apply for it?
Are you planning a trip to the United States and don’t know if you need a visa? Pay attention because you might be able to book a jet and travel without one as long as your country is one of the 35 participants of the program.
Currently 35 counties participate in the United States Visa Waiver Program or VWP, which means that nationals of these countries are able to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. But keep in mind that not all travelers from VWP countries are eligible to use the program. VWP travelers are first required to apply through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) on this site https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ , and once approved they need to print and forward the confirmation to the operator of the jet.
