Corporate jet


Author: Nitin Agarwal

The Corporate jet has come a long way from its early days as a symbol of power and luxury. The pace of modern business has made it an almost standard feature for every corporation with large numbers of Executives traveling between multiple company sites. The Corporate jet offers unparalleled privacy and flexibility. You can visit several places a day and use travel time for discussions with colleagues, clients and associates. This impacts productivity and effectiveness in a manner that is not possible with scheduled flights of commercial airlines. There are some privileges as well-for example, you can rule out landing in a foreign place for an important meeting, without your luggage!

A pre-owned aircraft may be a better choice for a firm going in for a corporate jet for the first time. New aircraft tend to have long delivery periods. Old aircraft fitted with the latest communication and navigation equipment, can provide the same service and safety as a new plane, and at a much lower investment.

It is advisable to charter several models of aircraft before taking a decision to buy a Corporate jet. Ownership with less than 200 hours of flying a year is not likely to be economically feasible. Some companies may like to share ownership with others. Such fractional ownership can work only between like-minded organizations with schedules that do not clash.

Insurance of Corporate jets is a complicated matter that needs expert review so that the owner is covered against all eventualities and claims of various kinds. Such kind of comprehensive insurance is available for corporate jets.

Purchase of a corporate jet can financed by lease or loan. The kind of financing used depends on the availability of funds and the incidence of tax. Hedging against obsolescence is also an important consideration as new models with fuel conservation and other advancements, are under development.

The complexities involved in corporate jet purchase or lease require that an expert be deployed for the task. Brokers with professionalism and experience can help firms in lines of business unrelated with air travel, make correct decisions with regard to their corporate jet.
