Arik Kislin lends insight into the current Private Jet Charter Industry

June 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Charter planes are still doing a brisk business, all things considered, and many corporate flights that would once make use of an individual company plane are now being booked on the more - competitive charter market.

The private jet industry accounts for 1.2 million jobs and points out that private jets are a lifeline for tens of thousands of companies because they provide not only faster connections but also remote access to locations that aren't serviced by commercial airlines. For these people, time is money and they often don't have the patience to travel commercially, wasting countless hours in airports.

Those who are accustomed to flying in Gulfsteams are still flying in them for the most part, others who were flying in mid-size jets are finding the small Cessnas a more affordable alternative. Smaller planes from Cessna, Embraer, and others have another big benefit: they use less fuel. This could be a huge advantage in the future when fuel prices rise again.

"For those in the market for a plane, there has probably never been a better time to buy. If you've got the cash in hand though, you can get yourself a great deal," said Arik Kislin, Principal at Linx Industries. "There has also never been a better time to book a charter jet."
