Summer 2020 has been one of the busiest times in the history of GlobeAir. For several reasons, July and August have had the common denominator of turning more and more business-class travellers to private jet chartering. 27% of GlobeAir’s newly-acquired passengers blame it on the unavailability of commercial airlines and biosecurity measures which – for reasons of size and travel conditions – are sometimes better followed by business aviation’s players.
On top of this, business class travellers have understood the convenience of paying for an entire private jet instead of risking a commercial flight. “Private jet” does not always mean luxury.
The cost of a GlobeAir flight is very close to a business class ticket if we imagine that a day-return business class flight from Zurich to Munich costs € 4,500 and the respective GlobeAir price is € 5,200. Those willing to pay the difference benefit from a high level of flexibility, stronger focus on biosecurity, no crowds as well as being able to save approximately three hours of their travel time.
