5 Reasons to Get a Jet Card for Your Business

Jet cards offer all the advantages of aircraft ownership without the upfront investment, long-term commitments and ongoing maintenance costs that jet ownership brings. Private jet membership is also a more economical and convenient alternative to a one-off jet charter. Here are five good reasons your business could benefit from a jet card.

5 Reasons to Get a Jet Card for Your Business

Freedom

Jet cards offer total freedom to travel whenever and wherever your business needs without limitations. Since you and your employees won’t be reliant on the availability of flights from commercial airlines or limited to a narrow range of locations, you’ll be able to respond to your business needs in real-time. A jet card enables you to travel to multiple locations on the same day in a way that suits your schedule and to make and change plans at short notice.

Return

A 2019 report from an industry advocacy group, No Plane No Gain, found that S&P 500 companies that invest in business aviation outperform those that don’t by 70%. This demonstrates the potential ROI of private air travel for businesses.

As private jet ownership requires a greater upfront investment, returns are typically slower and often offset by the ongoing costs of maintenance and hangaring.  Private jet cards and memberships can offer more immediate returns on investment, so may offer the best of both worlds to businesses looking to invest in aviation.

Meetings

When flying commercially, travel time is frequently wasted as it’s near-impossible to guarantee that your flight won’t be delayed or that once in the air, you’ll be able to use your flight time productively.

However, employees flying on private jets can plan their journey to use their time best. This includes working during the flight and even holding meetings onboard the plane. On a private jet, business people can work effectively and discuss business en route without the concern of disruption, eavesdropping or espionage.

Communications

Most private aircraft are equipped with technology, such as in-flight WiFi, enabling business travellers to remain in communication with the ground during their flight. This can be crucial if you’re dealing with a rapidly-changing situation that concerns your small business and can’t afford to be out of the loop for several hours while flying from one location to another.

Bookings

A private jet card means you can quickly and easily book the flights your business needs without additional paperwork or red tape. With flights available with as little as 24 hours’ notice – or even less sometimes – you can immediately respond to your business’s needs instantaneously to manage developing situations, respond to crises or capitalize on business requirements.

In Summary

A jet card offers a middle ground for businesses who would benefit from the many advantages of private air travel, without the drawbacks of private jet ownership and for frequent flyers, jet cards are a more convenient and economical option than chartering flights ad hoc.
