SAGGING CHARTER MARKET - GOOD DEALS FOR YOU

Within the past 8 months, the US Air Charter Market has suffered from the perfect storm of exceptionally high fuel prices, a sagging economy, and bad press.  Fuel prices reached their highest in mid-July 2008 and have since retreated significantly, but at that time, a gallon of Jet-A fuel was going for about $7.50 in New York and California.  The economy has been a wreck for several months now with story after story of corporate greed and monumentally bad leadership leading up to a major credit crisis followed by drastically decreased consumer spending.  Additionally, the federal government is attempting to depict anyone using a private jet as an evil corporate fat cat.  What does all of this mean for you?

The net result of this trifecta is that charter companies are becoming increasingly willing to negotiate prices on private jet charters.  With a surplus of charter agents and companies in the industry coupled with a diminished market, the pressure to locate and secure charter business is leading to a buyers market.  Many companies are also offering extras such as complimentary catering, ground transportation, and even spa certificates.  Here are some sample prices of current one-way charters being offered:

Expect these prices to hover right around this mark for as long as the market continues to be bogged down.

The Convenience Of Private Aviation – A Personal Perspective.

ECS owner Shares Recent Travel Experience

>imageYou’ve heard the examples of how private aviation is superior to commercial aviation when traveling to a far flung location not easily served by the traditional regional and major airlines.  However, let me share a personal experience I had just last week flying from two major cities with direct airline service between them.  A new client was departing from the West Chester County Airport in White Plains New York and Executive Charter Services arranged a Hawker 1000 for the trip.  I try to personally meet as many of my clients as possible and this was a good opportunity to do so, as I had other business in New York on the same day. 
I had originally planned to fly down the night before, attend my meeting in NYC during the day, meet my new client that afternoon, and take the Amtrak Acela back to Boston in the evening.  However, with the Hawker 1000 being based nearby, I decided to fly down on the jet in the morning and take the Delta Shuttle back to Boston.
The flight to New York was about as easy and carefree as you can imagine.  The captain met me at the corporate terminal lobby, took my bag aboard the aircraft, and within 10 minutes we were airborne - 40 minutes later we landed at Westchester Airport.  I took a car into the city, attended my meetings and was back at Westchester by 3:30pm to meet my new client. 
After meeting my client and getting everyone loaded up, the jet departed on time for SC.  I jumped back in my car and headed to LaGuardia to catch my shuttle flight back home.  Little did I know, but my easy day of travel was over!
Upon arrival at the airport, I was informed that the flight was delayed for 30 minutes.  Then an hour…finally, already 2 hours late, it was cancelled.  At this point it was too late to locate another commercial flight to Boston, and the first flight out the next day with an available seat left in the early afternoon - I gave serious thought to renting a car and driving home.  But, I stayed the night and planned to take the train back first thing in the morning.  Checking in at the station, I found that the train was already running 1 hour late.  I finally boarded the train 1 hour and 22 minutes late for the 3 hour ride back to Boston. 
So, I arrived back at Boston nearly a full day later than planned due solely to the inefficiencies inherent to commercial travel.  While the weather in New York was overcast and rainy, the real culprit was a line of thunderstorms that ran from Atlanta to Dallas causing multiple delays and cancellations which had a rippling domino effect throughout the rest of the air traffic system.  Once an airline starts to cancel flights, the hub and spoke system virtually guarantees that many more will affected.
Needless to say, while aboard the train, I spent several hours thinking about how easy, convenient, and time saving my flight TO New York had been.  Here’s a quick clip from Cessna that shows exactly what I am trying to say here…Private Jet Vs Airline

High and Hot – Not Bored Teenagers on Summer Break

Aircraft Operations in the Rockies

Recently we arranged a private jet charter flight to fly out of Eagle Airport in Eagle, CO.  This airport is the closest suitable to many of the favored skiing locations and as such sees much jet traffic in the winter.  But, Eagle Airport also has its fair share of summer air traffic as well, and summer in the Rockies presents us with a challenge known as “High and Hot”.

Not a movie about teens and their summer adventures, “High and Hot” refers to geographic and atmospheric conditions that limit aircraft performance.  As the temperature and altitude climbs, the air becomes thinner and generates less lift over the wings, the engines will not produce as much power, and the normal load that the jet can carry is significantly diminished.  For example in January it is common for a Hawker 800XP to depart Eagle Airport and fly nonstop directly to Teterboro, NJ with 5 passengers and baggage.  In July, that same mission profile would require a fuel stop.  These conditions take special training and demand experienced flight crew members.  Make sure to ask if your aircraft possesses the required performance for summer operations at high-altitude airports.

Boeing Delivers first 787 Dreamiliner

All Nippon Airways Took Delivery of 1st Jet Today

This aircraft was built using the advice derived from thousands of hours of research performed by psychologists on the traveling public.  Using surveys and focus groups, researchers determined exactly what the flying public wanted, then attempted to build those answers into the 787.  Some of the features attributed to this new approach are the new larger, higher windows, the new automatic electronic dimmer for those windows, indirect ceiling lighting, personal entertainment options, larger seats, and more legroom.  Boeing has done a remarkable job of balancing the need for the jet to be profitable and the desire to provide the public an aircraft they will WANT to fly upon.

Hawker 4000, The Defining Super-Mid Private Jet

Speed, Range, Passenger Load - This Jet Can Do It All!

Recently, Pro Airways of Plymouth, MA provided me the opportunity to review the Hawker 4000 (HA4T) SuperMid Private Jet.  My initial thought upon seeing the aircraft up close for the first time was “wow, that’s a big jet.”  I’ve reviewed Hawker 800, 800XP, 1000s before and I suppose I had already formed an opinion about the 4000 as just being a small step up from the Hawker 1000.  I could not have been more in error.  This jet is truly the class of Hawker’s fleet, and they did a great job on it.

From the overall increase in size and performance, to the use of high tech carbon-fiber building materials, this jet screams with performance, attitude, and styling.  The HA4T I viewed was configured with seating for 8 passengers in a double-club type layout.  The seats convert to berths allowing 4 passengers to travel on long overnight flights.  With nonstop range of 3300nm, flights such as New York to London or Los Angeles are easily accomplished.  Even better, the jet owns some truly outstanding short field performance, even at high altitudes – allowing nonstop range from all of the High Rocky Mountain airports popular with the skiing crowd.  Aspen, Eagle, Telluride, and Hayden are all easily accessible.  The same holds true for shorter runways in the Caribbean such as Tortola’s Beef Island Airport and St Kitts/Nevis.

A large baggage compartment solves a long-standing issue with Hawker 800/850/1000 type aircraft.  While these jets all have nice, wide, comfy interiors, baggage space has always been limited.  A close inspection of the HA4T’s available baggage space shows enough room for several pairs of skis or 4 large golf bags plus luggage.  Speaking of interior space, the HA4T has lots of it.  At 25’ long, 6’ high and 6.5’ wide the cabin closely compares to a Gulfstream G200.  I especially like the bulkhead mounted flat panel monitors usually found only on larger jets.  The all-electronic flight deck offers the crew the latest avionics and safety monitoring systems.

With the holiday ski and sun seasons rapidly approaching, I highly recommend the Hawker 4000 for all of your travel needs.  Many thanks to Pro Airways, of Plymouth, MA for the opportunity to climb aboard their jet for the tour.

The Flying Car Has Arrived!

Looks much cooler than the Jetsons

image

The folks at Terrafugia are at it again and their latest design is something that comes closer to the promise of rising above the congestion of surface roads.  For those of you unaware who Terrafugia is, their first model, the Transition (seen right), image still requires that you drive it to a conventional airport, reconfigure it for flight mode, fly to your destination airport, then reconfigure for street mode again.  The aircraft is struggling to meet certification requirements, but the company has orders for about 100 aircraft.

Personally, I would much rather have something that allows me to pop open my garage door, back out and fly off to any destination I choose.  The new aircraft, TF-X, will be capable of VTOL or Vertical Takeoff and Landing, as well as normal flight – the concept is very similar to the Marine Corps V-22 Osprey.  It is designed to be a “green” machine using hybrid electric motors and electric car charging stations.  The anticipated range of the TF-X is at least 500 miles, with a cruise speed of 200mph, allowing for a Boston to New York flight in as little as 50 minutes, while Boston to Washington DC would take only about 1hr and 45 minutes.  I can easily see this type of vehicle in use frequently in the summer months as weekend getaways to destinations such as Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, or the Hamptons become easier than ever to get to.  Development and certification is expected to take 8-12 years.This ultra-cool marketing video shows what the designers hope to accomplish with the new aircraft/vehicle.  George Jetson, eat your heart out!
