PRIVATE AIR NEW YORK EDITOR'S NOTE Restrictions on cross-border travel and new boarding protocols continue to highlight the advantage of owning or chartering a private jet and avoiding the inconveniences mentioned above. Business jet aircraft companies are reporting that first-time buyers make up a strong group of customers globally. ese HNWIs have likely flown business jets on charter previously and have come to appreciate the comfort of owning. However, charter companies such as Bitlux have reported a steady flow of new clients seeking their charter services, especially among families who vacation in large groups. e advantages are self-explanatory. Booking a flight is simple, matching the right size plane for your group is easy, prices are competitive, and landing at smaller airports closer to your final destination is a breeze. But most importantly, there are no three-hour check-in, evasive procedures! e demand for charter flights is no longer mostly confined to business trips for executives. ey are now on the rise for leisure travelers. e way we travel continues to change in profound ways. However, chartering a flight or owning a jet makes getting from point a to b a lot easier. But you are reading this, so you already figured this out. Remember to tell a friend. While you enjoy life beyond first class, I'll be practicing for my helicopter license and look forward to seeing you soon. Enjoy the issue! Bon Voyage, Regina Russo Editor-in-Chief
