Renting a Private Jet - Some Great Tips to Lower the Cost

Posted by National Air Transport on April 3rd, 2017

Sure, flying in a private jet can be an amazing experience - the priority service, increased luxury, indulgent amenities, and added benefits will definitely make you feel special. But remember you will also be paying royally for every minute you spend on such a plane. Renting a private jet isn’t going to be cheap. However, there are pretty effective ways to make the service more economical and affordable for you. Here are some tips to help you lower the rental cost for private jet services. 

Downsize your aircraft

Flying solo to your next destination? You definitely don’t need a 747 to take you there! A Very Light Jet (VLJ) is enough to help you easily manage the flight with all the comfort and luxury you desire without having to burn a hole in your pocket. 

Choose your airport wisely

Changing your airport choice can mean a significant reduction in your landing and handling costs. For example - choosing Stansted instead of London City Airport can save you upwards of 00 on airport costs. Wherever possible and feasible, use cheaper and less busy airports to reduce your rental costs. 

Manage aircraft positioning

Aircraft positioning costs are another head that adds up to the rental price for your private jet. Discuss with your service provider about choosing to depart from the airfield where the plane is already located, thereby reducing your positioning costs considerably. 

Choose to group up

If your travel plans allow for it, choose to rent the private jet on a group basis. The rental costs remain the same, irrespective of the number of people on board the flight. This can be like hiring a shared-taxi, wherein you can fly with likeminded people while distributing the per-head costs over every passenger with you. 

Empty leg flights

This happens to be one of the most effective and well-known ways to reduce private jet rental costs, sometimes by as much as 75%. If it is possible to be flexible with your travel plans and it is ok for you to book the flight at the last minute, then one-way empty leg flights can prove to be a huge advantage for you!

These tips will definitely help you in controlling the otherwise skyrocketing costs of private jet rental services. Use them to the best of your advantage and enjoy flying like royalty at royally low prices!
