GC: LUXURY ZELAJET If you are operating at the apex of any industry, then in the opinion of GC there is no better way of travelling than by private jet. If you believe that travelling in a private jet is just reserved for billionaire Tik Tok stars, then you are completely wrong. Imagine this scenario.You’re close to pulling off the perfect negotiation for your business when the clock reminds you that it’s nearly time to catch your return flight home; you hurry your decisions, and you are less likely to strike a favourable deal.
