If you only need to charter flights occasionally, it probably makes more sense to rent than buy. On the other hand, if you’re constantly flying around the state for business meetings and other events, purchasing a private jet may be worth the investment.
The law requires all private jets have an FAA certificate before they are allowed to fly passengers. To obtain this certification, private jet companies must meet specific requirements that demonstrate their aircrafts’ safety and service standards.
Private jets are fairly expensive, but private jet hire can be cost-effective for groups of people who need to get somewhere fast. Private jet hire companies offer flexible rates that depend on the size of the group and how far they will be traveling.
