2. Decidinghowtotravelwhetherviatheairlines,privateorbusiness
aircraft, or even by driving or taking a train involves many
considerations. While several of the benefits of business aircraft
are tangible and measurable, some are challenging to quantify
precisely. Corporate managers should routinely consider all the
costs and realistically value all the benefits of every travel option.
For business aircraft, those benefits can include security, safety,
efficiency, optimal scheduling and productivity to name a few.
For some travelers, the protection from uncontrolled public
exposure alone is justification for business aircraft use. Avoiding
eavesdropping, reducing travel visibility, eliminating unwanted
and unnecessary conversations and interruptions, all support
the use of business aircraft to safeguard passengers or executives
and their privacy. Business aircraft flown in Canada by two-
person professional crews have a safety record comparable to
or better than scheduled airlines. In addition to this there is
complete knowledge of every passenger and location of their
baggage which is a substantial security consideration.
A company traveling via business aircraft is the sign of a well-
run business, signaling the progressive nature of an organization
with a keen interest in efficient time management and high levels
of productivity. With a typical check-in time of 5 – 10 minutes
after your arrival, add in total scheduling flexibility inherent in
business aircraft, even changing itineraries en-route can be a
powerful tool. As aircraft can incorporate last minute passenger
changes, arrive and depart on the passenger’s schedule, typically
waiting for them in the ordinary course of business, meetings
can be moved up, back or extended without penalty, risk or
unnecessary scheduling pressures. Overnight trips can

because of the vast number of available airports to use. If
managed proactively, this benefit can improve executive
productivity and results significantly. The right person in
the right place at the right time can change everything in
the business world.
For executives, the ability to maintain reasonable travel
schedules, maximizing personal productivity therefore
assuring more family time is priceless and an important
consideration. For the corporations that employ them,
business aviation helps hold on to their valuable executives.
Having to replace these executives will cost the company
by spending time on resources and training replacement
employees. It is difficult to put a value on the level of
frustration that typically comes with commercial travel
especially around holidays. Arriving refreshed and ready
to do business substantially increases effectiveness while
reducing late night travel, longer than necessary trips, post-trip
fatigue ultimately damaging productivity in the days after a trip.
Business aviation can minimize this loss because it can facilitate
more efficient scheduling.
What would happen if the actual cost of employee time were
considered in business travel decisions? It would reveal aspects
that favour business aviation. Operators of business aircraft
have long known that because they can provide nonstop
travel in a confidential office environment between more than
6,500 airports in North America alone, their aircraft are the
most time-efficient way to travel. What they sometimes have
not known is how the actual cost of employee travel time, the
value of travel time, the value of productive time enroute, and
a count of non-business hours away from home, would alter
decision making and the perceived value of travel via business
aircraft. Using a business aircraft charter broker can provide
some distinct advantages especially when initially exploring
using business aviation travel. In addition to acquiring the best
aircraft and value for your trips, they should be able to evaluate
your business level productivity and show you how it affects
your bottom line.
Based in Toronto JET Solutions has worked with charter
operators locally and internationally since 2001, constantly
auditing and providing the best aircraft options for their clients.
Travel requirements are reviewed frequently using their Travel
Analysis System to generate meaningful reports. However, it
does not take long to realize the value proposition when the
common Toronto to New York return trip is typically $1,000
per person on one of the newer light 6 – 8 passenger jets. For
group trips, airliners using only first class seating configurations
provide all the same business aviation advantages.
