According to American firm New Flight Charters, the private jet industry is booming again after a tough time during the global economic recession. The company reports a 76 per cent rise in private jet hire bookings compared to the same time last year.
It seems, then, that luxury transport is still important to both business and leisure travellers alike, which means that the chauffeur and luxury car hire industry is also benefiting. Travellers want the full package; to travel via private jet and then be whisked to their destination in a Mercedes chauffeur driven car, in a seamless, convenient and comfortable journey.
The main benefit of these private journeys is that there are no unnecessary delays or waiting around – the passenger gets to their destination in the shortest time possible. All of this speed doesn’t mean that comfort is forgotten though; after all, the sumptuous interiors and private space are the main reasons why chauffeur-driven luxury cars are so popular.
Although the combination of private jet and chauffeur-driven prestige car hire is usually preferred by the business sector, for travelling to and from meetings and hotels, Mark Bower from holiday site lastminute.com has reported that:
“…an increasing number of our customers are looking for luxury travel experiences. Private jet charter can be more cost-effective than many people think, especially for group travel or special occasions.”
