Light Cabin Jets Portland ME

Nearly anyone can afford a plane ticket these days - all you have to do is get online, look through any one of the myriad of cheap air fare sites, pick one, and presto, you're ready to go with boarding pass in hand and luggage safely checked. Of course, that means that you are dependent on the timing of the airline to get where you need to be, and chances are you will only be one of hundreds of passengers on the plane, sitting with cramped leg room and squalling infants down the aisle. While this is often the cheapest route, it is not always the best. If you need a little more than just a seat in coach, think about looking into private jets, and, if you don't feel like actually buying one, aircraft charters.

An aircraft charter company is essentially an aeronautical company that rents out light cabin jets, executive jets, and private jets to those who are looking for a little more comfort and convenience in their flying than the usual coach passenger on big airlines. There are factors beyond just comfort to consider, too - read the section entitled "why fly with aircraft charters and light cabin jets" later in this article for a more in depth analysis of the benefits of flying with aircharters or on executive jets, whether you own them yourself or are working with an air charter company.

Finding a good aircraft charter company is a little more difficult than it sounds, but certainly no serious problem for the successful modern businessman or businesswoman. Your first issue will be with finding the company itself. While it is easy to find options - just check the internet or your local yellow pages - comparing them is another problem entirely. Because both are online and in the yellow pages, all you are reading about each company is its own promotional material, you face the possibility of being fooled by a nicer looking advertisement than the actual aircraft. One way to make sure you only end up working with real, respectable aircraft charter operators is by going through an air charter broker, who knows the companies available and which are good. You could also, of course, pick a few and visit them yourself, and then make a decision after reviewing your options. This is an especially good choice if you have some background in aviation yourself and know how to examine a plane.

After you find a good possibility or a charter company you are interested in working with for your charter flight, you should check up on them to make sure they check out under official regs. You can do this through the FAA: the FAA requires that every aircharter company must have a Part 135 air taxi certificate in order to fly legally. Make sure you are flying under a legitimate name by making sure the charter company is using the Part 135 regulations rather than the less strict (and thus less safe) Part 91 regulations which signify an "owner owned" flight.

One major advantage to flying with light cabin jets, private jets, and executive jets is that, unlike the larger commercial jets which fly out of most commercial airports, smaller jets aircharters use are also able to land on shorter runways. Shorter runways mean that you can land in small local and regional airports rather than just the large airports found in big cities. That means you can forget having to fly to big airport and then transferring, or flying to an airport with a sixty mile bus ride at the end. With a small jet you can just fly into the nearest small airport to your destination, cutting down on driving and transportation time dramatically.

There is also the fact of privacy, quiet, and sheer comfort. Whereas even in the best seat on a commercial airliners you're still hearing noise from inconsiderate fellow passengers or crying infants, and smelling the smells of two hundred bodies cramped into a metal tube, on an air charter you and the group you're traveling with have the plane to yourselves. The food can be whatever you want it to be, you can stock the liquor cabinet with your favorites, you can stretch out - some of the more luxurious light cabin jets even include beds so that you can get a good night's sleep on an overnight flight across the country or even to another country.
