The Facts About Private Jet Charter Safety

aircraft_safety

Some might assume that flying on smaller aircraft means there are more risks, but in reality the private jet charter industry has an outstanding safety record.  Private jet charter companies take safety very seriously.  They seek to work with pilots and aircraft that meet high safety standards.

The private jet charter industry strives to hire pilots who have extensive experience, most not only meet all safety standards, but go above and beyond with many additional flight hours.  Private jet charter aircraft have to meet all FAA inspection regulations, which means regular comprehensive aircraft inspections are done routinely.

Newport Jets is committed to safety as is evident by the protocols we implement, as well as the industry standards and federal regulations that we abide by.  Our safety guidelines remain untainted and transparent as we ensure that every aspect of a flight, from booking to takeoff,  is safe and secure.

Corporations are finding the enhanced security, safety and privacy offered when using private jet charter provides the executives and business teams the ability to work and hold meetings during flights, while feeling safe and secure. Most private jet aircraft can be equipped with a variety of business tools.  In addition, these aircraft serve outstanding food and catering to meet the individual needs of travelers.

Charter jet aircraft is the type of air travel that provides travelers with a high level of service and reliability that they can trust.  Remember a private jet charter company is far smaller than a commercial airline, which allows them to focus on customer service and safety.

When flying on a private jet charter aircraft you will find that flying is relaxed and enjoyable knowing they have not only maintained and  inspected the aircraft but have pilots and flight crews with years of experience.


Winter Travel – Tips and Advice for a Smooth Private Jet Flight

Tips for Private Jet Winter Travel

With the arrival of winter not only comes the holiday season, but often comes the much dreaded "Cabin Fever". As wintry mixes of sleet and snow fill our neighborhoods and morning commutes – visions of tropical beaches and pina coladas fill our minds. Winter is a time for private jet travel – whether it is spending the holidays with loved ones, escaping the blustery winter conditions or packing your skis and racing to them. As you plan your private jet travel this winter, it is good to give yourself and your air charter company as much notice as possible to avoid any unsightly winter related delays. There are also a few things that you should keep in mind (other than tropical beaches)!

Most private jet companies have Peak Travel Days. These are the days that historically have the highest flight volume. Many of these fall around the winter holiday season – the days before and after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. During these days, many private jet companies will increase the amount of notice you must give in order to confirm flights. Most air charters must be booked within a very minimum of 96 hours in advance. In addition, changes and/or cancellations must also be completed with more notice as well – most times within this same window. Always be sure to ask when booking your private jet whether or not your date coincides with any company "Peak Travel Days". If so, make sure that you have all departure times, passengers and other flight details confirmed well in advance.

Another consideration when booking your winter travel is "Slots". The FAA can at times administer landing slots for popular airports. A landing slot acts like a reservation for your private jet. Be advised, landing slots are most common in ski country, such as in Aspen and Vail. Like any other reservation, slots are subject to availability and are issued on a "first come, first serve" basis. If your desired landing or departure time has already been filled, you may need to have more flexibility with these times than is normally required when flying privately. Again, be sure to ask your private jet administrator whether or not your winter trip will be subject to landing slot availability. Booking your private jet trip early will give you the best chance of securing your preferred slot date and time.

So, as you depart on your winter adventures – keep the above in mind. Whether hitting the slopes or the shores this winter, planning in advance is key. Be aware that winter traveling, especially around the holidays, can require more time and flexibility than traveling during other seasons.

Newport Jets vs Net Jets- Fractional

Newport Jets vs Net Jets- Fractional

The Numbers-

$16,000/month (monthly maintenance) x 12 months = 192,000/ year

$192,000 x 5 years = $960,000

You will pay that $960,000 if you fly or not.

100 Hours on a Citation Excel/XLS- This is the least expensive medium that net jets offers

$1,370,000- (Cost of your 1/8 -100hr fraction with Net Jets) / 100 hours = $13,700/hr for a medium jet

Synopsis-

Ø Over a 5 year period you will pay near $1million in maintenance cost, or nearly $200k a year just for owning a jet. This has nothing to do with you flying that is to keep the Net Jets fleet in the air.

Ø $13,700/hr for a medium jet is nearly over 40% higher than the industry standard, and fuel isn’t included

Ø The numbers don’t make sense, and the bottom line is you can fly a lot longer for a lot less.

All information was verified through Net Jets marketing materials and collateral that was sent to me by Net Jets and confirmed by there Asst VP – Leigh Anne Munson-732-326-3773


Newport Jets vs Marquis Jets

The Combo Card – Marquis allows clients to split time on two different classes of jets ie. (light and medium / medium and heavy)

Ø The plan allows you to choose two different jets and the time is divided equally 12.5 hrs on each plane.

Ø They have added this option based on the same premise that we use for our entire company you can’t have one jet that fits every mission.

The Numbers –

Citation X/ Citation Excel- 25 HOUR Combination Card – $179,000 (price obtained from the company- www.netjets.com and verified by Leigh Anne Munson- VP)

($179,000 / 25 hours = $7160/hr)

The Citation X 25 Hour Card

Ø Marquis allows you to have the Citation X for 25 hours of flight time.

The Numbers –

The Citation X – 25 Hour Card - $209,000 (price obtained from the company- www.netjets.com

and verified by Leigh Ann Munson- VP)

($209,000 / 25 hours = $8,360/hr)

Synopsis

At $4,000 maximums on Mediums and $6,000 maximums on Super Mediums we are on average $3200/hr less expensive than the marquis program. In addition, with our maximum SkyCard pricing we are still 40.2% less expensive than the Marquis program, allowing you to decrease your cash outlay for private aviation from $180k – $210k to $100k – $125k. The bottom line is you can fly longer for less with us.

Other possible concerns-

Ø Guaranteed Availability (as little as 4 hours notice)

Ø No management Fees

Ø Refundable & Transferable

Ø One Way Pricing

Ø 5 -7yr Aircraft Age

Ø 2 Pilots on every flight -ALWAYS

Private Jet Charter To and From Los Angeles

Even with the country’s recent economic downturn, and a drop in private air travel, aviation experts are now predicting a notable growth in private jet charter service in 2010. One of the biggest reasons noted for this anticipated growth is due to the increased complications of commercial flights caused by security concerns.

A Return to Private Jet Travel

High net worth business travelers are expected to return to private jet travel once again as they face long lines, increased security and the extended delays pervasive with commercial jet travel.

Los Angeles a Hub for Regular Private Jet Travel

Businesses, celebrities, politicians and high net worth people are located throughout the country, but there are a high number in Los Angeles. The music, movie and entertainment industries have a particular interest in Los Angeles and have proven a need for regular private jet charter travel.

For these people private jet charter travel is far more time efficient than commercial flights, especially now when increased security measures are causing business travelers frustration before and after their flight.

Decline and Quick Turnaround for Private Jet Charter Travel

At the height of the country’s recent recession, industry experts estimate that private jet charter providers felt a deep 40% decrease in their business. Yet, the latest research is showing flights up more than 20% in late 2009 going into 2010. Most expert analysts see this trend continuing with expectations of continued growth. This perceived growth in private jet charter travel is due to the economy gaining momentum and as a result of the time lost with security crackdowns with commercial air travel.

Los Angeles to see Growth

Los Angeles private jet charter travel is expected to grow with important airports in Los Angeles that serve and cater to private jet charter travel service. Those airports include: LAX, Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Van Nuys Airport and Whiteman Airport.

Unparalleled Safety and Security for Your Charter Flight Travel

Charter Flight Safety is a #1 Priority

Safety is the solid basis upon which Newport Jets was founded.  At Newport Jets, no safety standard is left unaddressed with our private jet charter. Our company only sources aircraft from owner/operators who are members in good standing with ARG/US®, Wyvern®, NATA®, and NATA First®. By complying with the strict policies established by these groups, your safety remains our number one priority.

Every private jet charter flight we source from owners/operators, and each member of the flight crew, is subject to the most stringent safety screening in the industry. All aircraft owner/operator U.S.-based aircraft possess at least a Gold Rating from the Aircraft Research Group/US®, with equivalent ratings required for non-U.S.-based aircraft. Each aircraft is FAR Part 135 and 91 regulated and required to carry a log detailing its entire maintenance history.

Each Newport Jets private jet travel flight is piloted by two pilots – both of which are certified and type rated for the aircraft they are flying and have a minimum of 3500 hours of flight time (including 1000 hours of cross-country time, 100 of which must

have taken place at night). In addition, all pilots are required to hold an Airline Transport Certificate instrument rating within the Airplane category.

Not only do strict rules exist governing the maintenance of our operator’s aircraft and who may fly them, aircraft size, airport facilities, and runway length are all factored into the safety equation. No jet chartered by Newport Jets may land on a runway less than 5,000 feet long and no aircraft may operate at any airport that hasn’t been certified for that type craft’s use by the FAA.

Security: Peace of Mind, the Ultimate in Luxury

At Newport Jets we have the highest standards in security for every private jet charter flight.  You choose who you and your family flies with. In addition, you have the security in knowing that every passenger who has flown on the aircraft prior to your flight has been screened by comprehensive TSA standards. The TSA requires the full legal names of all passengers.  Each passenger over the age of 18 must present a valid, government issued photo ID prior to boarding any Newport Jets aircraft.

Crewmembers are required to display their Company issued photo identification badge, at waist level or above, when on or in the vicinity of the aircraft. In addition, all crewmembers are required to carry valid government issued photo identification while on flight status. All aircraft are locked and secured when crewmembers are absent from the plane. All passengers are escorted from the FBO to the aircraft by a crewmember.

No detail is left to chance. In addition to these standard safety procedures, Newport Jets can provide at your request, armed or unarmed security details to further ensure the safety of you and your family.
