Charter Companies tactics to increase demand

As more and executives and pleasure seekers are going the charter way instead of the scheduled airlines, the charter companies keep on devising new and lucrative policies and packages to lure in more and more customers.

Guaranteed hourly rate. Instead of chartering one flight at a time at varying rates, most charter companies offer you to choose 25, 50, 100 or more hours of flight in the size aircraft you prefer.

Guaranteed free positioning. As customers usually have to pay for the entire round trip whether they intend to fly back or not. But now with increasing competition, you don’t have to pay to bring a plane into position, to return an empty aircraft to home base, or for another aircraft to meet you. One-way, round trip, overnight—all flights are billed at the same "no-surprises" rate.

Easy, low-cost entry. You don’t need to worry about the bookings of the charter flights and can avail the luxury at very short notice. Most of the charter companies are providing the services by contracting for just 25 hours of flight time.
Guaranteed availability. One call does it all. Need a bigger jet than the size you’ve contracted? With just 12 hours advance notice, you’re guaranteed an aircraft with the passenger capacity and range you need.

Earn Valuable Credits. Many charter companies have introduced jet cards program that lets you earn credits toward ownership. In fact, they pay up to four months of your charter jet fractional ownership management fee. Or, if you aspire to full ownership, you can apply a small portion (5-10%) of your total contract value toward the purchase of a new or pre-owned Bombardier Learjet, Challenger or Global Express. Additionally, some charter companies offer a credit plan that enables you to earn real dollars towards pilot training and maintenance at their service facility.
