What's Changing The World Of Private Jet Travel?

Travelling by private jet is an experience that’s all about customization – providing what you need, when you need it, and just the way you like it. Having a non-standardized form of travel means that choices can become overwhelming, from what size and type of jet that suits you to jet card and flight products. Here’s a guide to help you get on top of the latest trends and choices, from the team at Monmouth Executive Airport.

• Long-range = Lower Rates: Flying through a charter company or as a fractional jet owner usually means being charged based on hourly rates – you take the specific jet type and just multiply the hourly rate by the time it will take you to get to your destination. But lately, this has started to change. Many companies are trying to promote longer flights and reward clients by cutting rates for longer journeys both nationally and internationally.
• Value-adding partners: Flying by private jet is no longer just about getting you to your destination faster and in style – it’s about adding that level of convenience, privacy and luxury to every aspect of your trip. Private jet companies are partnering with other service providers clients can benefit from, including luxury tourism companies, limousine and helicopter services providers, and elite hotel chains around the world. By teaming up together, clients get more luxury and VIP treatment for less.
• Party partners: Private jet companies are booked out over event weekends, including The Super Bowl, The Masters, Art Basel Miami and Fashion Weeks, and many are taking the opportunity to increase their offering to clients with exclusive access parties for these events. These are great opportunities for entertaining clients who are travelling with you, as well as families as there are many events catering to kids too.
• Apps: Everyone seems to have their own app now and private jet companies are no exception! Each app is different, but they all aim to make the private jet experience easier and more convenient. There are also apps that allow clients to build their own group for booking a flight, reducing the costs involved for everyone.

It's Official - There's A CFI Shortage

There’s been a lot of chatter over recent years about a potential shortage of pilots in the industry. The enactment of new Air Transport Pilot (ATP) required pilots to have more hours of flight experience and thereby limiting the pool available to employers, and regional airliners have responded to the shortage by introducing lucrative bonus and employment benefits. But has this shortage also affected the availability of certified flight instructors (CFIs) as well?

The Career Path of a Pilot 

There are several stages that are typically found in the career of commercial pilots, namely:

• Learning to fly at flight school
• Teaching others to fly as a CFI (it’s a great way of getting the hours in that are required by the FAA)
• Moving to a regional airline
• Moving to a national airline

Due to the pilot shortage at the regional airline level, these companies are looking at CFIs at flight schools and actively recruiting them in order to meet the demand for pilots. At the same time, these offers are very attractive, so flight schools find it difficult to keep CFIs on after they’ve met the qualification criteria for the FAA and airlines. This leaves a gap in the market where there are plenty of people wanting to learn to fly and pursue a career as a pilot, but a shortage of CFIs to train them. This makes it essential for anyone who wants to have flying lessons to spend the time doing research on their flight school and making sure they have enough trained CFIs to deliver a high-quality training experience.
