Prepare to Fly with Your Pets This Summer!


Pet Jets Travel Club owners certainly consider their pet(s) onboard aircraft as not just another piece of luggage-it’s a family member and they are treated accordingly. Despite the red-carpet treatment that many pets receive onboard private aircraft, pet ownersmust understand that dogs and cats can experience many of the same reactions and sensations that people do when flying, including airsickness, anxiety and dehydration. Owners must take the time to learn their pets’ behavior and to ensure that their furry friends will be secure and calm in the airplane. Before charterig an anircraft, here are some tips to condider:
•Take a trial run. Take your pet on a long trial run in the car before bringing it aboard an aircraft for the first time. Pets needs to be relaxed. That makes it less likely to become overly stressed, which can trigger urination and defecation. Emergency stops in private jets aren’t as possible as they are in the car!
•Teach your dog to sit. Having a dog who knows how to obey basic verbal commands such as “sit” and “down” can be very useful during a flight in the event the animal begins to pace and act nervous during the flight. I you can get youre pet to sit and lay down, this will allow it to breathe more slowly and focus its attention on you and being calm.
•Bring Your Own Water. Some pets are especially picky about the kind of water they drink. If they’re used to filtered water at home, they might not drink tap water offered at the airport or on the jet. Make sure your pet will drink water from various sources or, if it refuses, bring a gallon of his regular water onboard the flight.
•Stock favorite foods. Pack your pet’s favorite food, along with enough of their food and treats!
•Consider carriers. Pet owners must consider how the animal will be restrained during the flight, especially during takeoff and landing, turbulence, or flying with other pets. Smaller pets, such as toy-sized dogs and most cats, can be safely carried onboard in the same sort of handheld plastic crate or canvas bag one would use for bringing the animal onto an airline flight. Larger dogs may require a harness or padded crate.
•Visit your vet for a pre-flight physical. If you have any concerns with flying your pet, visit your pet. This is especially important for an older pet or one that might be quite anxious if this will be their first flight. Dogs and cats tend to be less susceptible than humans to pressurization-related ear and sinus discomfort because their auditory tubes are larger. Also, there is little evidence that they suffer from jet lag because, well, they sleep most of the day, anyway. It’s also a good idea to know the name of a veterinarian in your destination city in case your pet should get sick during the trip and your personal vet could certainly give you a referal.
•Research foreign rules. Do your homework before flying your pet outside the U.S. Information on traveling with pets throughout the European Union, for example, can be found at www.defra.gov.uk. Bring a copy of the pet’s rabies vaccination certificate on any foreign trip. Ask, too, about any regulations governing transport of animals into the country.
•Microchips. If you’re thinking about having a microchip ID implanted in your pet check with your destination country’s embassy to find out which chips are recognized there. Ask, too, about any regulations governing transport of animals into the country. Many veterinarians offer a procedure costing less than $100, wherein a microchip containing a unique electronic identification code is inserted under the pet’s skin. If the pet ever runs away and is later brought to a veterinarian or animal shelter, its identity number can be retrieved from the microchip via a scan. The number can then be entered into a database of registered pets, which would reveal your contact information and most likely lead to a happy reunion. Several companies manufacture these chips and scanners, including AVID (www.avidmicrochip.com), Home Again (www.homeagainid.com) and Pet-ID (www.petid.com).

Fying with your pets in the cabin of an FAA approved air carrier is becoming one of the few options pet owners have as the scheduled airlines continue to ban certain breeds and the growing concern for pets traveling in the cargo compartments, especially in the hot summer months. Pets are members of the family and should fly in the cabin, however, special considerations and planning is required when flying in private jet aircraft.

Why Do Companies Rely On Business Aviation?

While companies that rely on business aviation represent many different professions and locations, they all have one thing in common: the need for fast, flexible, safe, secure and cost-effective access to destinations across the country and around the world. In many instances, business aviation is the appropriate transportation solution, opening the door to global commerce for small-community and rural populations by linking them directly to population centers and manufacturing facilities. The benefits of business aviation are clear:

•Business aviation allows for efficient, flexible, safe, secure and cost-effective access to destinations across the country and around the world. Because employees can meet, plan and work with each other aboard business aircraft, productivity en route is greatly enhanced.
•In many instances, business aviation is the best or only transportation option available, opening the door to global commerce for small-community and rural populations by linking them directly to population centers and manufacturing facilities. Studies have also shown that business aviation contributes greatly to local economies across the country.
•Business aircraft allow employees to make a trip involving stops at several locations, then return to headquarters the same day. Hundreds or thousands of dollars can be saved on hotel rooms, rental cars, meals and other expenses that would be needed to make the same trip over several days via auto, train or airline transport.

Give Your Business A Lift!

When a public uproar erupted over how and when airplanes are used by companies seeking government loans, the story told in the news media was often a one-sided account lacking voices of support for business aviation. Now the time has come to speak up for the tens of thousands of cost-conscious businesspeople who consider business aviation an essential tool.

To many business owners who make up 85 percent of the companies using business aircraft, airplanes are workhorses, not showhorses. Many companies depend on their airplanes to conduct our business efficiently. With the calculated cost of commercial travel, overnight versus one-day trips, and the value of our time, business aircraft makes more sense. Business owners use their airplanes to visit multiple sites in a single day, and carry and deliver equipment that is difficult to impossible to carry on commercial flights. Business aircraft can fly into most of the 5,000 public airports around the country, as opposed to the fewer than 500 served by commercial airlines. With 100 U.S. cities losing airline service in recent years, business aviation allows continued access to markets and customers.

Second, business aviation helps preserve and generate American jobs. General aviation, which includes business uses of aircraft, contributes over $150 billion to the U.S. economy, and provides employment for more than 1 million Americans in piloting, scheduling, dispatching, maintaining, manufacturing and supplying, and supporting general aviation at community and regional airports nationwide.

Third, business aviation helps keep jobs and production in America, in places like Wichita, Kansas where general aviation aircraft are manufactured and serviced. Remember that general aviation is one of the few remaining sources of good manufacturing jobs in this country, and a major contributor to the nation’s trade balance. Business aviation contributes to America’s competitiveness, growth, and continued innovation – all badly needed in the most unforgiving business climate in decades.

Jet Charter Firm Offers Electronic Cigarettes On Private Flights

Phenom100Interior

By Charisse Jones, USA TODAY

You can do a lot of things on an airplane. E-mail a friend, watch TV, even lie in a bed if you’re flying overseas in first class. But you can’t smoke.
One company hopes to change that. Blu Cigs, maker of electronic cigarettes that offer the taste but not the tobacco found in a regular cigarette, is partnering with a charter jet company to provide free samples to passengers. It hopes some commercial airlines will consider following suit.”Definitely it’s the first step,” Jason Healy, president of Blu Cigs, says of the partnership with Global Exec Aviation of Long Beach. “It’s largely to gather feedback … and just highlight the fact it’s an option.”

Smoking was prohibited on all commercial domestic flights and international flights to and from the U.S. in June 2000, according to the Transportation Department. It wasn’t banned on charter flights, but charter companies must provide a seat in a non-smoking part of the plane to anyone who asks.The department has not taken a position on whether the smoking ban applies to e-cigarettes, spokesman Bill Mosley says.

Electronic cigarettes are battery-operated atomizers that warm up a flavored liquid that then produces vapor. The user gets bursts of nicotine and the feel of a regular cigarette, but there’s no smoke or odor.The FAA and other industry officials say it’s up to individual carriers whether to allow the tobacco-free devices on board. For now, commercial airlines don’t appear to be budging. “We have no plans to offer e-cigarettes, and we currently do not allow their use in-flight,” Southwest spokesman Brad Hawkins says.Neither does American Airlines, spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan says. “We have no plans to allow any cigarettes on our aircraft,” she says. Jason Holi, an operations manager for Global Exec Aviation, says that the airlines might want to give electronic cigarettes a try. A key factor in why he welcomed them onto the private jets managed by his company was the loss of a customer who would have paid $300,000 for a trip to South Africa but backed out when he learned he couldn’t smoke during the flight.”We’re in a customer-service industry,” Holi says. “If I have a passenger who’s a white-knuckle flier but a heavy chain smoker, I want to make it as accommodating as possible for him. “Still, he says he understands that airlines have a wider audience to please, and some fliers might object even if their fellow passengers are puffing vapor rather than smoke. “When you’re in an enclosed environment with … so many different opinions,” he says, “that would create a problem.”

How To Charter A Jet -102

Published on October 26, 2010 by in Uncategorized

Hawker900

In our last article on how to charter a jet, we discussed some of the first steps in chartering an aircraft and why it’s important to find a charter operator or experienced broker to assist you with the many details for private jet travel. Professional operators and brokers that have been in the business for a long period of time will have a check list of items to review with you based on your travel needs and financial requirements. Travel consumers should be aware of the various costs involved with chartering an aircraft and when possible, obtain a quote that includes all possible fees and taxes. Some companies will provide estimated costs to compete with other operators and brokers. Your initial quote may seem like a great deal. After the flight is completed you may receive an updated bill for actual charges and be quite shocked how much more the bill is than what was quoted. Actual charges can be legitimate for many international flight as these flight can only be estimated based on previous flights. International charges can change daily and can include the cost of over flying a country, flying through their airspace, security as well as value added taxes. Most operators will add a conservative estimate for international flights, but estimated quotes on domestic trips should have you ask a few more questions as to what the additional costs might be.

The final discussion in this article is what type of aircraft should you charter? The advantage of flying charter is that you have a large variety of aircraft to select from based on your travel needs. This again is where your operator or broker should assist you with selecting the correct aircraft and not oversell you into a more expensive aircraft than what is really needed. There has been instances where brokers have placed air travelers in more expensive aircraft because they are more motivated with the commission they are going to earn rather than selecting the right aircraft for you. For instance, if your flying into a ski-resort at a high altitude airport, you most likely want to stay away from a single-engine aircraft. If your flying a short distance with a few passengers, then chartering a large private jet such as a Gulfstream or Challenger is probably going to be 2-3 times the cost of chartering a small jet unless your looking to really impress someone! In most cases, most operators will not charter long-range large private jets on short distance flights without being a premium charge.

Most popular small and medium size jets seat 6-8 passengers such as the widely used Cessna Citation series of jets. Depending on the length of flight, and yes, the size and weight of your passengers, this might be one of the most important points. While most jets have seating for up to 8 passengers, 2-3 of these seats might be dedicated to a couch instead of a captain chair that will have more room. While a short, hour long flight from LA to Vegas might work for three large people, it will not be a comfortable experience flying on a roadshow business trip or cross-country! Have your operator send pictures of the aircraft as well as the interior to understand how your passengers will be seated and will they be comfortable. Adding catering or cabin baggage can even leave less space as it all must be secured for takeoff and landing and show also be part of the equation.

No doubt, chartering aircraft is a smart way to fly and save time. Professional operators such as Global Exec Aviation provide aviation consultants that will lead you in the right direction and recommend aircraft based on your travel needs, budget and other safety criteria. In my next article, we will discuss in greater detail the major types and brands of aircraft available for charter.

How To Charter A Jet -101

gulfstream_g500

Private aircraft charter is a key to success to many individuals and corporations that understand the value of time! No matter who you are, the commodity of time is truly valuable.  These aircraft are truly today’s time machines that allow business owners to visit multiple cities in one day, provide vital transportation to cities and towns that do not have airline service and allow families to extend a well deserved vacation instead of spending precious time connecting on multiple flights. In the U.S., companies that provide aircraft charter must be approved by the FAA as a Part 135 air carrier as well as the aircraft they operate and the pilots that fly them.

Consumers should insure air carriers provide documentation that the company is FAA approved as well as the aircraft they plan to charter. Charter companies can also provide the flight experience of each pilot as well as the dates that they last attended training. Aircraft captains typically attend training every six months and co-pilots once per year. Air carriers should also be able to provide evidence of liability insurance for their company as well as the aircraft.

Consumers can simply request a quote from air charter companies for their proposed trip that includes all taxes and fees that may include crew overnight costs, ramp fees, landing fees as well as handling fees for international trips. Other charges may include catering if requested as well as flight attendant services. Charter companies provide these quotes free of cost and it is best to request several quotes from the air carrier if they have a a variety of aircraft. In our next article, we will discuss aircraft options and what might be the best aircraft for your next trip based on the distance, number of passengers and length of time. In the meanwhile, you can contact the professionals at Global Exec Aviation for free consulting services and quotes for your next trip!
