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 :

Day City Dep Arr City Unit Price
1 New York 07:55a 09:09a Albany $260
1 Albany 05:31p 06:55p Buffalo $185
2 Buffalo
Rochester
11:55a
13:04p
12:30p
13:48p
Rochester
Toronto
$490
2 Toronto 07:00p 08:24p New York $450

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.

Day Dep. City Arr. City Flight time Price
1 New York Albany 0:45 $1260
1 Albany Buffalo 1:00 $1800
1 Buffalo
Toronto 0:35 $1080
1 Toronto New York 1:20 $2340

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.


Cessna Citation
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.
