GC: LUXURY

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. Such a scenario won’t apply to you if you are a private jet traveller for the simple reason that time will be on your side...why would you not fly private?

Not only does flying private make business sense, but it can make you healthier as well. Air travelling can be daunting with many suffering from the so-called “airport stress”, which is caused by long queues, the uncertainty of procedures and crowds.

Private jet companies work against “airport stress”, enhancing privacy and making airport procedures fast and hassle-free. When you are allowed to board away from the crowds, bring your liquids on board and travel with your cat or dog in the cabin, your “airport stress” will drop significantly giving you a chance to actually enjoy travelling.

Here are the reasons why GC loves to fly private...

You are in charge of your schedule.

Take off and landing times, unlike any commercial flight, can be rescheduled at short notice to suit unexpected longer meetings or accommodate possible changes of plan. Flexibility for passengers is maximal, and it’s not uncommon to reroute to an alternative destination than initially requested.

Boarding procedures last only 15 minutes from arrival to take off: Passengers fly on a private jet because of the high schedule flexibility ensured by smoother boarding procedures, faster journeys, and no risk of flight disruptions caused by strikes. Private Jet Terminals: Once at the airport, private jet passengers don’t share terminals with commercial airline passengers. On the contrary, they head through dedicated private-jet terminals also called Fixed Base Operators (FBOs). At the FBO passengers are welcomed by the desk staff and can usually make themselves comfortable by grabbing a coffee or a magazine. Thanks to record boarding times, however, passengers don’t often spend long lounging at the FBO.

All transfers are taken care of upon arrival: As the aeroplane hits the tarmac, there is always a limousine, taxi or helicopter ready to escort passengers to their next destination.

You can increase your productivity by 150%

Business Aviation drives an increase of about 150% in productive working time thanks to the absence of layovers in-between airports, which prevents employees from having to work intermittently.

Private jets also recreate the perfect conditions for silence and concentration when this is needed. By flying in a private jet, it goes as far as allowing your

four-legged friend to nestle around you while flying, recreating the same productive environment of your home office.

Fewer restrictions on board and more tolerance for carry-on baggage and liquids also contribute to creating efficiencies for passengers. When passengers fly on a multi-trip journey for business, they can visit multiple customers on the same day, thus leveraging costs. Although prices for flights are still higher than business class tickets, apart from empty leg flights, companies and individuals can invest in productivity.

You travel safe and sound.

By nature, private jets favour privacy and confidentiality. A quiet place on board a private jet can encourage concentration and the discussion of confidential matters when travelling as a team.

Passengers on their way to their destinations can discuss sensitive topics and prepare for their next meetings. FBO airport procedures are designed to avoid intrusive questions from security staff, and passengers don’t have to station in crowded places, which are more likely to become the target of terrorist attacks.

You have more time for you and your family

Business Aviation can save up to 2 hours of travel time on each trip, giving you the chance to travel faster and help achieve a healthier work-life balance. You have more time for yourself and can successfully invest in the preparation of your next meeting as well as having more time to spend with your loved ones.

With all these reasons to do it, you will kick yourself with all the time you have wanted in your life by not doing this before!
