Meta Description: Develop a better understanding of the way that a post-pandemic world is impacting travel by reading our list of the top five private jet trends in 2022.

There was a time when hiring a private jet was something that was only possible for the rich and famous. Taking a private jet involved owning one, or knowing someone with one.

The advent of the private jet charter has made it a lot easier for the average person to book a private flight, whether for business or pleasure.

Even though traveling by private jet is still expensive, the price is not too dissimilar to flying first class as a family. That is why so many people are traveling privately over the past few years.

Below is an assessment of the top five private jet trends that are likely to dominate the sector in 2022 and beyond.

1. More First-Time Flyers

Private jet companies are awaiting more first-time customers in 2022. People who understand the importance of saving time by traveling privately, and staying safe, know that such benefits outweigh the added expense.

Those with means are beginning to understand that traveling privately is a lot more worthwhile than paying for a first-class plane ticket. While renting an entire jet costs more than one ticket, buying four or five first-class tickets for an entire family or business group can end up being an equal or greater expense if flying commercially.

Athletes and models are also a significant portion of the increase in clientele for private jet companies, as they require being at different places at a moment’s notice, and prefer the privacy of traveling in this manner.

2. Biosecurity

Commercial airlines have reliable biosecurity measures, such as deep cleaning their aircraft and adding high-quality air filters, they can never manage to make the experience entirely secure. People gather in hallways to board planes and are sitting on top of each other during the flight.

Considering the global pandemic of the past two years, people care a lot about whether they are safe when flying. Private charters are far more secure from a health standpoint, as you are only flying with your family, close friends, or business partners.

Private charter planes are cleaned before and after each flight, while the pilot and crew members are regularly tested to ensure they are healthy to fly.

3. Freedom of Movement

When you buy a commercial plane ticket, you are bound by its itinerary. Even if you book a connecting flight, you can only travel to so many destinations around the world. 

If you are traveling abroad or within the United States, you may want to fly somewhere that commercial flights do not frequent. Perhaps the area where you want to go involves taking three connecting flights, which would be tiresome and time-consuming.

Flying privately allows you the freedom of movement that is not possible when buying commercial plane tickets. That is why so many people are willing to fly privately, when they may not have considered this option in the past.

4. Focusing on the Customer Experience

With so many people flying privately for the first time, charter companies are focused on ensuring they have the best possible experience. 

Imagine a situation where a family of four rents a plane for a domestic flight. They chose to fly privately, rather than buy four first-class tickets for an inferior experience. Now they want to see if they are getting their money’s worth on a private charter.

Companies must work tirelessly to ensure their planes are in great condition, snacks and beverages are provided to customers, and any crew members on board are helpful and attentive.

5. Greater Commercial Demand

Even though private charters focus a lot on the individual clients they can fly from one destination to another, commercial clients are also very important.

Companies are now seeing how private charters are worth the investment, especially as many private jet operations offer a discount if you are renting a jet frequently. Rather than having executives fly first class, where they spend more time at the airport than on the plane, companies can have them fly privately for a more seamless and efficient experience.

Businesses also want to ensure their most valuable employees are healthy, and flying privately is a lot safer in that sense. That is why private charters are anticipating even greater demand from commercial clients in 2022.

Charter and Travel Safely

The primary advantage of chartering a plane is safety. When you are traveling on a commercial flight, you are encountering other passengers in close quarters.

In an era of a global pandemic and other dangers, many business travelers and families believe that traveling privately is the only way to ensure they arrive at their destination safely and without any fears.

The above trends, and the general direction of the private jet sector, showcase how traveling this way has become a great deal more mainstream than it was five or six years ago.
