Private jet charter has transformed from an ultra-exclusive service to a practical luxury travel option accessible to a broader range of flyers. This comprehensive guide explores the evolution of private aviation, breaks down jet categories, and shows how AeroBid makes chartering a private jet simpler than ever.
The Rapid Growth of Private Jet Travel
While still a premium experience, private jet travel has grown significantly in recent decades. Globally, private jet flights increased by 128% from 2008 to 2021. In the US alone, over 1.2 million private jet flights were recorded in 2021.
Several factors drive this surging demand:
Increased affordability and business models like jet cards and fractional ownership. The entry price for private flights has lowered.
Busy modern lifestyles with less tolerance for inconvenience. Private jets save time and offer flexibility.
Safety concerns during the pandemic increased interest in private options.
As more travellers experience this unique luxury service, the private aviation industry continues its upward momentum.
