You’ve decided to buy a jet. Maybe it was your most recent airline trip from hell that convinced you. Perhaps a growing business commitment increased the need for easy access to locations where even Emirates Airlines doesn’t go. Or maybe you just want the freedom and excitement of private flying and would like to be able to keep your golf clubs on the airplane. Actually, it’s probably not just one reason, but a complex matrix of factors that add up to one conclusion: it makes personal and fiscal sense for you or your company to own a jet.
If that’s the case, you could start your search for one by surfing the Web sites of business jet manufacturers, going straight to the “Contact Us” page and dialing a salesperson. But a better place to begin your research might be among your friends and business associates. Choosing your jet is another decision that could benefit from learning the good and bad experiences of others.
