Why not just fly the airlines?
Why are business aircraft sometimes a better alternative (to commercial air travel)?
Saving Employee Time
“Efficient employee scheduling” and “employee time saved” are key advantages of business aircraft use. Because business aircraft have the ability to fly nonstop between 3,500 small, close-in airports – ten times the number of locations served by scheduled airlines in the United States – highly efficient employee time management becomes a very real benefit. Additionally, the value of employee time often exceeds its cost to the company by substantial margins, further increasing the importance of employee time savings. Simply stated, business aviation helps a company obtain maximum productivity from its two most important assets – people and time.
Increasing Productivity Enroute
Employee productivity sustained enroute to a business destination – in a secure office environment, free from interruptions, distractions or eavesdropping – can have substantial value to an employer. Group productivity, maximized due to the common availability of club seating and tables, often is unique to business aircraft. Strategizing before meetings and debriefing afterwards are common practices often facilitated and encouraged by business aircraft cabin configurations.
Ensuring Industrial Security & Critical Employee Health
For many companies, the protection of personnel 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 company employees and the sensitive information they carry.

Employee Health: In the age of COVID-19, many businesses are wary of sending their critically-needed employees on travel itineraries involving crowded airliners.
According to the CDC: “(airline) travel requires spending time in security lines and airport terminals, which can bring you in close contact with other people and frequently touched surfaces. Most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes. However, social distancing is difficult on crowded flights, and you may have to sit near others (within 6 feet), sometimes for hours. This may increase your risk for exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19.”
