.

10 First-Rate Business Aircraft, according to Industry Insider editor Matt Thurber

1. Mitsubishi MU-2

Speedy and efficient, but make sure your pilot is well trained, and often.

2. Sabreliner

The pioneering bizjet and still going strong after decades of reliable service.

3. Learjet 25

Sure, the GE CJ610 engines are noisy and use lots of fuel, but dang does a Lear 25 climb like a homesick angel!

4. Gulfstream II

Progenitor of the big-cabin Gulfstreams, the latest being the bigger and ultra-long-range G650.

5. Dassault Falcon jets

Does beauty in the form of sleekly shaped aluminum matter? Dassault would say, “absolutement!”

6. Pilatus PC-12

The ideal business hauler, a twin-turboprop cabin with single-engine efficiency and bladder-busting range

7. Cessna Citation X

Why not go fast? Isn’t that why you bought a jet?

8. Hawker 4000

The ideal combination of passenger comfort and pilot pleasure.

9. Embraer Phenom 100

Quiet, strong, quick – what a light jet should be.

10. Eclipse 500

Under new owners, finally becoming the personal jet that launched the very light jet revolution.

Thurber, a senior editor at Aviation International News, is a certified commercial pilot, flight instructor and aircraft mechanic.

New Flight Charters Named in News Article on Private Jet Service

New Flight Charters and Charter Manager Nanette Poorman are noted in newspaper article highlighting one of our private jet operators:

November 28 2011 12:34

Minneapolis StarTribune

Article by: David Phelps

Charter Firm Gains Altitude

Red Wing Regional Airport is a sleepy collection of aircraft hangars on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River, three miles from the Goodhue County seat.

But inside the largest of those hangars is the headquarters for Red Wing Aeroplane Co., a growing airline charter service that counts captains of industry, Hollywood celebrities, sports stars and country western artists among its clientele.

It has gone from one to five eight-seat Cessna Citation jets since 2005 with plans for up to 15 more planes in the next three to five years, an expansion that would allow it to list Hawaii and far-flung Western Hemisphere locales as destination points.

In a flat industry, Red Wing Aeroplane is slowly building market share.

"Our service is the new first class for the airline industry. You can have anything you want but there's a cost involved and there's no free ride," said Wes Converse, who co-founded the original aircraft maintenance company of the same name with his dad, Bob, in 1990. "We're safe, reliable and on time."

These are not the strongest times for charter services and business aviation in general. When the economy tanks, so does business travel.

From the start of the Great Recession in 2008 until it officially ended in 2010, flight hours in the business travel industry were down 35 to 40 percent, said Dan Hubbard, senior vice president of the National Business Aviation Association. While business has improved, Hubbard said it's still 10 to 15 percent below the peak in 2007.

But Red Wing Aeroplane has developed a niche that is somewhat immune from the economy. That involves passengers who have the wherewithall to use a charter service and avoid the current-day hassles of commercial travel.

"This is a service industry and you have to set yourself apart from your competition," Converse said. "Passengers at the airport are miserable. They have to go through a security line and everyone accepts that and you'll probably be late. In our business it's always assumed you'll be on time, the aircraft will be clean and the crew hospitable."

In the charter business, operators get much of their traffic through brokers. A client calls a broker and says "I want to go from point A to point B" on a certain date. The broker posts that assignment on an electronic bulletin board and charter carriers bid on the trip. Sometimes the trips are planned in advance; sometimes they are last-minute.

One of the jet charter brokers that frequently uses Red Wing Aeroplane is New Flight Charters based in Jackson Hole, Wyo.

"We've been using them for at least six years," said New Flight's Nanette Poorman. "They're always available [to make a quote]. It's the smartest thing they do."

Converse said the Red Wing Aeroplane operations office is staffed from 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. seven days a week and that someone is always available to take calls after those hours.

Poorman said Red Wing Aeroplane's flight crews are generally experienced, with specialized training in mountain flying [think high-end ski resorts], inclement weather and short runways.

Converse is diligent about not identifying clients. But a Web page for New Flight Charters gives an idea of the types of people who fly charter. Among endorsements from dozens of satisfied New Flight customers is the office of former President Bill Clinton, the travel coordinator for former Mexican President Vicente Fox, an assistant to Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and comedian Kathy Griffin.

"We fly all kinds of people," Converse said. "We fly corporate executives, sports figures, celebrities, average people. Of the Who's Who, we've flown most of them."

Charter flights take Red Wing aircraft to both coasts, up and down the eastern seaboard, into the Caribbean and into South America and Canada.

Converse said Red Wing Aeroplane is "a floating fleet" that comes back to the headquarters hangar only for maintenance. "The whole idea is to not fly an airplane empty," he said.

Converse said Red Wing will cater to the needs or whims of its passengers. He said one regular traveler needs bottled Evian water on each trip, along with a New York Times. A country-and-western singer and his manager ordered $2,000 work of liquor for a flight from Washington, D.C., to Nashville.

"Whatever they want, they'll get it, but they'll have to pay for it," Converse said.

According to aircharterguide .com, the hourly price for Red Wing's aircraft ranges from $2,000 to nearly $2,600. {blog editor's note; New Flight Charters presents jet charter directory listings along with jet charter prices }

Converse said a trip from Minneapolis to Miami would cost about $12,000. "That's more than a commercial ticket, but that's not my clientele," he said.

Converse and his 81-year-old dad, both of whom live in the Red Wing area, have more than 80 combined years in aviation.

Bob Converse was an Air Force flight mechanic who served in the Korean War and later spent 30 years as a mechanic for Braniff, Western and Delta Air Lines. Wes Converse also is an Air Force veteran and flew for Comair, a Delta regional carrier, and Evergreen International, a freight carrier.

In 1990, they created Red Wing Aeroplane as a maintenance facility and morphed into a charter service 15 years later.

Today, Red Wing has 40 employees, including nearly 20 pilots operating 120 to 150 flights a month.

The success of the company is not lost on Bob Converse, who still comes to work every day.

"We've been lucky," he said. "But it's been a lot of hard work."

Jet Charter Rates with Empty Leg Flights or Discounted One-Ways

Private Jet Empty Legs,Jet Charter,Air Charter Pricing,Private Jet Rates,Private Jet Charter

An Informational Resource on Jet Charter Rates and Pricing with Empty Legs, One-Ways and Traditional Air Charter

To those searching for private air charter flights, much emphasis is made in internet advertising about discounted one-way flights or "empty legs" - private jets that are already flying a certain direction and can be had for pennies on the dollar. 

While that may be a bit overstated and an advertising hook to lure you in, there is usually a defininte, and sometimes significant, cost advantage in taking advantage of a discounted offer.  This is provided, of course, that your flight need is only one way, or your round trip flights are many days apart and a traditional charter aircraft would need to make two round trips to accomplish it.

Actually connecting with a private jet empty leg can be a rare event because the schedules and flight routes are very specific.  If you ask the airplane to deviate too far from its needed route, or if you need the flight on a different day or time, or if you need/prefer a different size or type aircraft, you may be better off with other charter options. 

Booking an empty leg is typically a non-cancellable affair, since the airplane needs to make that flight in a certain time frame and is counting on your fare.  Other charter options are usually fully cancelable up to 72, 48 or even 24 hours before the flight.  Be sure to get your cancellation details and check your charter quote paperwork.

Most often, one-way flight charters at a discount are best accomplished utilizing operators' floating fleets - aircraft that can be quoted and flown on a point-to-point basis - with better pricing than a traditional charter aircraft returning to base.

Exploring all your flight options, or using a quality and experienced jet charter broker, will provide you with the full jet charter listings of flight alternatives, aircraft and quotes to choose from.

Below are a sampling of actual charters that were booked within the past month.  The chart shows the aircraft and price chosen compared to a traditional charter quote.

Belmar NJ - Palm Beach FL	Citation Excel, midsize jet	$10,593	$18,650
Teterboro NJ - Ft Laudersale FL	Learjet 60, midsize jet	$10,023	$19,250
Oakland CA - New Orleans LA	Hawker 800XP, midsize jet	$23,962	$34,625

Van Nuys CA - Lihue, Hawaii	Gulfstream IV, large jet	$39,910	$69,575

Prices listed are all-inclusive; taxes, fees, etc.

Those looking for a one way charter flight who are lured by advertised private jet empty legs for "pennies on the dollar", "make an offer!" or "cheap-cheap-cheap", may be disappointed when they are finally offered actual availability, terms or pricing.  However, very good pricing can be had for many routings by those with realistic expectations and by using expert, long term and reputable air charter brokers. 

Stay tuned to this column for a coming article and resource on evaluating and selecting quality air charter brokers.

Haiti Orphanage Rescue Effort Coordinated by Private Jet Leader New Flight Charters

PRIVATE JET EVACUATES ORPHANS TO U.S., RE-SUPPLIES PORT-AU-PRINCE ORPHANAGES.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. – U.S.-based jet charter company, New Flight Charters, arranges private jet relief mission and evacuates orphans in Haiti relief effort. The company coordinated a Challenger 300 super-midsize private jet filled with two doctors, medicine, water purifiers and other necessities for delivery to the three Foyer-de-Sion Orphanages in Port-au-Prince. The luxury jet then, with U.S. State Department approval, evacuated ten orphans to the U.S. for the Morrell Family Charities organization based in Utah.

The January 19 flight from Orlando, Florida, arrived to the Dominican Republic since the Port-au-Prince airport was closed to civilian aircraft. The load was transferred to helicopters and SUVs for delivery to the Port-au-Prince orphanages. Soldiers and armed personnel helped protect the cargo and transfers to the orphanages since their prior-existing supplies had been ransacked in post-earthquake looting. Ten orphans were then flown by helicopters to the waiting private jet and evacuated to Miami where they met their newly adoptive families arranged by Morrell Family Charities.

“This was a terrific opportunity for us to help the hundreds of children at the Port-au-Prince orphanages and bring some back to the U.S., and we are thrilled,” said Rick Colson, New Flight Charters’ president. “The donation of resources from all parties in this relief & rescue mission for the orphanage and charity has been amazing.”

The private jet is owned by M&N Aviation out of Casper, Wyoming, whose considerable assistance on cost made the mission possible. The Challenger 300 private jet is a luxury aircraft with executive leather interior, galley, private lavatory, and state-of-the-art amenities. It is manufactured by Bombardier, Inc.
