For most people chartering a corporate jet is not that common. It all sounds very glamorous and tempting, but who typically charters a corporate Jet? Why would someone charter a corporate jet if they can fly at a much lower price with a first class service on a scheduled airline? In this article we will look at the typical profiles of people that are likely to contract a corporate jet charter.

Beware! Chartering a corporate Jet is not restricted to the rich and famous only! In fact, most of the rich and famous will probably own their own jet anyways and don’t need to charter unless their own aircraft is undergoing maintenance or has technical problems. Below you will find some examples of profiles of people that charter corporate aircraft regularly in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Far East.

CEO’s and Entrepreneurs

For example, a board of directors may require to conduct site visits in several different countries in a short time frame; in such case a corporate jet charter will provide them with flexibility in their schedule. CEO’s are a popular profile for the chartering of corporate jets.

VIP’s, Artists and Sportsmen

This profile generally seeks the exclusivity of chartering as well as the anonymity. In fact at most airports, when you charter a corporate jet, you use a private Executive Jet Terminal and not the regular Passenger terminal.

Royalty and Royal Families

Royal families will often charter jets for exclusivity during their summer holidays; if they do not have an aircraft of their own, they will charter a heavy corporate jet and bring along their families as well. The most popular heavy jets used by Royal families are the Airbus Corporate Jet (also known as A319CJ’s) and the Boeing Business Jets (also known as BBJ’s).

High Net worth Individuals & Private Individuals

High Net worth Individuals charter corporate jets quite often and also seek exclusivity as well as saving time and avoiding big hubs during their journey.

Government officials

Particularly in the Middle East and Africa regions, government officials travel more and more by corporate jet. Although certain governments will have their own fleets, ministries, embassies and other similar entities will occasionally charter a corporate jet in order to save time, and ensure complete anonymity.
