The only thing more luxurious than taking to the skies in a private jet is knowing it’s yours to use whenever you need to travel. This type of flexibility has always been reserved for those who own their jet or are part of a fractional jet ownership program.
However, Chartright is charting a new course for jet travel with one-year jet leasing.
By leasing, flyers have the privacy, convenience and luxury afforded to jet owners, without the cost of the ownership itself.
In addition to the upfront cost of purchasing your aircraft, jet ownership also comes with ongoing expenses, from flight crew salaries to routine maintenance and unforeseen repairs, hangar rentals, insurance, and more.
Fractional ownership reduces the cost of ownership, but these commitments typically lock travellers into three- or more-year commitments.
“Jet leasing offers the lowest commitment of jet travel, outside chartered flights,” says Graham Nierop, Director of Sales for Chartright Air Group – Canada’s largest private aviation group. “It’s easier and more affordable, without sacrificing availability or comfort.”
Chartright’s Jet Leasing Program offers superior flexibility, allowing flyers to select the jet that best fits their needs – from light jets that comfortably seat seven to eight guests, to midsize and super-midsize that can seat between eight and 10.
For short-haul trips, light jets are perfect, says David, noting that many travellers use this size to travel to American hotspots like Florida and New York. For L.A., Europe, or the Caribbean and beyond, a mid- or super-midsize jet is ideal.
The first step to crafting your jet lease program is to decide which jet size is best for you. However, with Chartright’s swap ratio program you can upgrade or downgrade your jet size seamlessly across their diverse fleet whenever your travel plans call for a different carrier.
“Lease one and gain access to all,” says Graham.
To keep costs down for their flyers, Chartright has designed their Jet Lease Program with a transparent two-fee system: you pay for your package size – whether 25 hours or 50 hours – and for catering, ground transportation, WiFi (when applicable), and de-icing. Everything else is included in your lease – no surprises.
Chartright is a trusted source for private air travel, with tailored solutions for every client. Chartright’s VP of Sales and Marketing, David Shaver shares, “We are the direct source for private jet leasing. We have the planes, the hangars, and the personnel to meet your needs.”
