Few of the folks who use private flying as a lightning rod to support their narratives seem to know much about the integral role business aviation plays in our economy, nor its focus on sustainability. Yet millions who never step on a private jet benefit from the industry. Here are the facts.
Share to twitterToo often private aviation is an easy target for folks who want to bash the super rich, global CEOs or what they perceive as industries that are damaging the environment. Private jet users are of course an easy target, even though many of the same people who trash the industry use private aircraft, at least when they help them achieve their business objectives, which is the reason most people access private aviation.
Companies such as American Express, General Dynamics, Home Depot, Meredith, P&G, and Hertz donate empty seats on corporate jet flights to cancer patients flying for treatment. The program is operated by the Corporate Angel Network.
- While the popular stereotype is fat cat CEOs flying on large cabin, luxurious private jets, 50% of the business aircraft fleet is turboprops and smaller jets, and in fact, top management is onboard less than 50% of the time. While detractors position private aviation as excess, the facts tell another story. Companies that use private aviation outperform non-users by 23% in revenue growth and 95 of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Places to Work” companies use business aircraft. One last fact. It’s not just big companies that use private jets to make their business more efficient, 57% of business aviation users have under 500 employees.
