The great plus is that you are not limited by scheduled routes. In fact, you can avoid major airports altogether. You never have to go through commercial hubs.

You make huge time savings and the joy of not having to deal with the big airport struggles are second to none.

Your own aircraft
Fractional ownership usually with lower usage between 50 and 100 hours a year (very common) , whereby you buy a share of a plane, rather than the whole aircraft. Even if you fly a lot, you will probably only be using the aircraft a fraction of the available time. So, it could make a lot of sense to own a percentage of a plane. Downside of this is that there might be less flexibility in using the aircraft as it might be used by one of the other owners. This could however be resolved by using good agreements and planning.
In terms of cost, owning or sharing an aircraft via fractional ownership is still requires an investment. A fractional share of a jet will set you back a certain percentage depending on the number of owners/investors. and thereafter the flying time will cost you an extra amount an hour.
For maximum and high utilization a good option could be to fully own the aircraft yourself. (usually more than 200 hours a year)
The aircraft will be fully and exclusively available for its owner or operator. However full financial responsibility is also with the owner regardless of the utilization . We can manage this operation also hassle free for you if so required.
The other option
As today's aircraft need to be fully managed due to the aviation regulations also when used privately, you can take it a step further and place the aircraft on a commercial license, the so called (AOC).
This way the aircraft can be used to operate commercially and thus making more hours a year and potentially helping to reduce the fixed and hourly operating cost significantly.
