Flights on private planes are enjoying great popularity, especially among celebrities and celebrities due to their comforts بلیط پرواز کیش.
Historically, buying a private jet has been a commodity reserved for a few. Although purchasing a plane is impossible for the average citizen, there are other more viable options such as renting them to take a specific trip.
How much is a cheaper private jet?
A 1967 Beechcraft King Air B 90 plane with capacity for 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot and 5 passengers is sold on the Mercado Libre platform for $380,000, being one of the cheapest options . In the case of newer options, such as an unused 2022 Piper Archer LX, with capacity for 1 pilot and 3 passengers, it has a price of approximately US$490,000.
Another option is a 2022 6-seater Piper M350 and its price is close to $1,500,000, while the M500 model is priced at $2,500,000. In the case of private jets, prices rise considerably, making them very difficult to acquire in Argentina.
For example, Lionel Messi owns a Gulfstream V, a plane from 2004 with a price of US$15,000,000, while the jet that Cristiano Ronaldo had, a Gulstream G-200 (there are only 250 models worldwide) With capacity for a total of 10 people, it had a price of 20 million euros.
Private flights: the business of 2023
Although buying a private jet is almost impossible, a more accessible alternative is to live that experience, renting a plane to take a specific trip.
This service is known as private flights or private charters and, although their prices are much higher than flying on a commercial airline, they have an audience that was growing in 2022 and could continue to do so in 2023.
For example, a flight from Buenos Aires to Punta del Este, prices start at US$4,300 for 5 passengers, while the largest planes, with capacity for 8 passengers, have a price that exceeds the barrier of US$10,000.
Finally, the largest planes, with capacity for 14 passengers (although they are usually used for long distances), have a price of approximately US$35,500. In the latter case, for long – distance trips like the United Kingdom, it has a price of US$140,000, that is, about US$10,000 per passenger.
Advantages of a private flight
Among the advantages of a private flight, we find the following:
Comfort: One of the main complaints from commercial flight passengers is comfort. Seats on private planes are usually more spacious and comfortable, and airlines that provide this type of service usually make sure that they all work properly.
Better flight experience: in addition to comfort, you must add a better flight experience and, therefore, a more comfortable vacation, starting in the best way from the first moment. Among the improvements with respect to commercial flights, we can find the impossibility of seats being oversold, the lower probability of suitcases being lost, better quality food, among others.
Speed: although the flight time between a commercial plane and a private plane (in planes that reach similar speeds) is the same, on commercial flights there are usually more delays: flights that are canceled, more time to check in luggage, a longer boarding process, etc.
Privacy: when hiring a charter, people enjoy a greater degree of privacy, being able to travel with their family and friends without having to share the flight with third parties. In addition, each passenger will be able to choose the seat they want without any type of restriction, unlike what happens on a classic flight, in which the availability of seats depends on the tickets that have been sold and there may even be unforeseen modifications.
Disadvantages of a private flight
Among the disadvantages of a private flight are the following:
Price: although hiring a charter is usually a much more comfortable option, it also involves a greater outlay of money. The prices of these are not usually particularly cheap, reaching triple or even quadruple those of a conventional airline.
Environmental impact: although organizations such as the European Business Aviation Association estimate that private flights only generate 0.04% of annual CO2 emissions, it is indisputable that, if the emissions generated by a commercial aircraft are taken and divided by the number of passengers carried, the pollution “per person” is significantly higher.
