Private Jet Ownership, an Unrestrained Luxury.

Private jets are, and have been, the epitome of luxury. These pleasures, once reserved for the elite, have gained popularity for individual consumers as well. For personal, business, or emergency travel, private jet ownership is a worthy investment. Aside from the initial financial costs, there are also numerous costs and responsibilities involved with private jet ownership. Documents, quarterly and monthly reports, aircraft maintenance, and countless other inconveniences can become a nightmare for a private jet owner/

The price amount of the management fee varies, depending on which aircraft you choose, as well as the number of flight hours. Included in your annual buy-in and fees, a monthly management fee is included. Select Aero Private Jet Charter provides a variety of administrative services that are covered by this competitive fee.

Private Jet Ownership

Chartering private jets can become a massive expenditure. If you rent private aircrafts regularly, even for just 150 hours a year, you may find that jet ownership is a better option. Purchasing a private jet may be beneficial to your company and personal endeavors. There are many options available to purchase and ways to help offset the cost of ownership.

There are many factors that go into selecting a private jet. First, you must choose a make and model of jet that meets your preference. Select Aero has a large fleet of aircrafts, including lightweight jets, midsize jet, large jets, and business jets. Take into consideration how many passengers you will need maximum. Cabin size is an important factor in addition to seating capacity. The jet range capacity is also important to accommodate your flight needs. Light jets are ideal for family, personal travel, and small business ventures. Typically, a lightweight jet will accommodate six passengers. The following chart demonstrates examples of several factors pertaining to jet capabilities.

Jet Jet Length (ft) Height (ft) IFR Range (nm) Cabin Volume (cubic feet)
Hawker (midsize jet) 51.18 18.08 2,111 603.88
Citation Sovereign (midsize jet) 63.48 20.34 3,188 621.54

If you are seeking a private jet for your business needs, there are many large business jets available to accommodate your needs. The 550 Gulfstream business jet can accommodate nineteen passengers. This massive luxury jet has over a six-foot cabin height and is over fifty feet long.

For midsize jets, we offer the Citation Sovereign, Hawker 800 XP, and the Challenger 300. Mid-size jets are roomier than light jets and offer closed lavatories. These are the most cost-efficient, comfortable jets for travel.
