Avoid Airport Hassle By Private Jets
Posted on: Sunday, 2 October 2005, 18:00 CDT
To avoid the airport hassle of overbooking, car parking and long security lines, many U.S. travelers are seeking to travel via private jet.
Some buy time for the use of private jets, while some rent jets and others buy individual trips on small private jets, reported the Boston Globe.
Federal law allows companies to offer up to four scheduled round trips per week on specific routes before they are regulated as airlines. Linear Air LLC, offers private-plane service four days a week from Boston to Teterboro, N.J., across the river from New York City, for $438 round trip.
Safety concerns have not stemmed the industry's growth. The National Transportation Safety Board says operators of smaller scheduled and nonscheduled planes had 73 crashes that killed 65 people last year, compared with 13 fatalities for all domestic commercial airlines.
