Groups of business travelers are turning to private group air charters to get them safely and quickly to their chosen destination.
They have come to realize that rather than face delays or disappointments, a group can charter a private aircraft to take clients, business associates, incentive groups or even an entire workforce to some of the US’s top destinations.
Wherever your destination – from Aspen’s snowy slopes to the tropical sunshine of Hawaii’s Waikiki Beach – working with a group charter specialist will give you the advantage. You can choose your schedule, your choice of departure airport, your preferred destination, and all with complete peace of mind.
The landscape of travel, especially for groups traveling for business trips, conferences, and industry events has changed somewhat since the onset of the COVID pandemic. However, the question is being asked more than ever before, can we charter a private plane for a group travel experience?
What you need to know about group charter flights
Groups looking to charter flights usually want to avoid the delays, crowds, and inconvenience associated with busy airports. During the pandemic, more and more groups have been turning to charter companies to help ensure that safety is maintained before, during, and after the flight.
Whether the final destination is a sporting event with clients, an industry conference with colleagues, or even a workcation for the executive team, a charter flight service provider can provide an aircraft to match the group size, the destination, and any other unique aspects of the group. These details can include flexible multiple destination schedules, security, airport representation, corporate branding, ground handling, and even catering. Additionally, a charter flight broker can work with your budget while remaining flexible to the group’s unique requirements.
Since mid-2020 the idea of a ‘workcation’ – a mix of doing business and enjoying a vacation at the same time – has grown in popularity. Companies, corporations, educational institutions, and even government departments have been whisking their personnel away to reap the benefits of doing business while enjoying a vacation in total safety.
Their first port-of-call has been to seek the advice of an air charter broker to help organize flights for the group. Along with arranging every step of the journey, an air charter company can also recommend the most popular destinations for workcations right across the US, the Caribbean, and other near-home destinations.
