It is right now possible to charter, rent or lease an aircraft for less than ever before and it has also become easier.
Why charter an aircraft?
Here are good reasons:
The increased security and hassle of commercial airline boarding.
There are fewer airlines around.
Fewer airlines are flying to fewer cities
Because of economy restraints there is fewer seats for more passengers.
It is right now easier to charter, lease or rent a plane because there is more companies entering the aircraft leasing business.
Also, a new generation of small jets is being produced as we speak, the so-called air taxis seating between 4 to 6 passengers for a total airplane cost of as low as 1 million dollars.
These small jets are being produced in a so-called cookie-cutter design, 100 at a time and are also being purchased 100 at a time.
Real Air Taxis will soon be on their way into major cities," says London based AVCEN.
Avcen is to bring its innovative Jetpod aircraft design off the drawing board and into proof-of-concept build and flight trials.
The Jetpod is a unique, lightweight, Very Quiet Short Take-Off and Landing (VQSTOL), 6-seat, twin-jet pwoered aircraft.
The Jetpod cruises at 350 mph and uses an unbelievable 410 feet of landing space. This is achieved through a combination of horizontal and vertical thrust management as developed by Avcen.
No runways are required so you can take off from a private parking lot or your neighbor's driveway.
There are similar small jets being manufactured in the US as well.
