Private Jet Travel On The Rise
Feb 23rd
Today’s New York Times, 2/22/09, has an interesting article by Joe Sharkey in the Business Section. In his weekly column Mr. Sharkey writes about private business travel being on the rise. This is definitely worth reading. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/23/business/23road.html.
After the reaction to the CEOs traveling on private jets to Washington, D.C.,many companies pulled back on private jet travel. This combined with the downward turn in the market saw a slide in private jet use for business travel. Mr. Sharkey points out that many people who hadn’t traveled on commercial jets for years were forced to do so and ultimately were very unhappy with the experience. No surprise there. Now these same travelers are going back to private jet travel but are looking for a less expensive way to do it. That is where Jet-It-Together comes in. People want to travel privately for less and are flexible on how they will do it. This could prove very interesting.
