Case Studies
Still not convinced
about the interest and benefits of Executive charters? Follows an example
of a business travel. 5 New York based Executives would like to have meetings
in Albany, Buffalo and Toronto the same day. Let's try to set-up that
travel for them ...

Using
the airlines ...
|
|
|
After
a long search it seams that our businessmen won't be able to make
it the same day. There is no flight between Albany and Buffalo early
in the afternoon and no
direct flight between Buffalo and Toronto ! One of the shortest
itinerary is :

The
total price for 5 executives traveling coach is $6925. Must be added
to the price, 5 hotel rooms, 5 dinners and 5 breakfasts (at least
$700).

Crowded Terminal

|
Using
a business jet ...
|
|
|
A
common small/medium size jet may be used for short flights with
5 passengers. A Cessna Citation sII is a good example, it carries
up to 8 passengers at 460mph and the average high cost per hour
is $1800.

The total price for the Executives to complete their travel is $6480.
Thanks to the flexibility of corporate jet, they can change their
schedule at the last moment, they don't have the constraint of a
scheduled flight. In Toronto they can save time by landing at the
City Center Airport and in all airports they can enjoy the quietness
of an executive terminal instead of the crowded airlines terminals.

Conclusion
|
|
|
The
use of a business jet for that travel will save time, money and
stress. It is a comfortable and rewarding experience for the Executives,
now spending their energy during the meetings and not fighting to
get from one city to another.
