During these times of uncertainty, many first-timer private jet flyers are now entering the private aviation space. From concerns over commercial airline safety to the reliability and convenience of flying private, there are many factors behind this influx of newcomers. Here are seven reasons why first-time flyers are choosing private aviation.
1. Private Aviation Is SafeR Than Commercial Air Travel
As the world endures the ongoing coronavirus crisis, many first-time flyers are choosing private jet travel as a safer alternative to commercial air travel. According to a recent New York Times article, a travel analysis shows that a “person on the average commercial flight has about 700 points of contact with other people and objects.” Meanwhile, private jets significantly reduce exposure risks by limiting touch points to just “20 to 30.” Many private aviation companies, including Magellan Jets, are also enacting enhanced health and safety standards beyond what’s required by the CDC and WHO, further protecting first-time flyers transitioning from first class or commercial business class.
2. Access More of the World
Utilizing private aviation offers travelers access to more parts of the world, as, unfortunately, most commercial airlines are scaling back operations in the wake of COVID-19. Private aviation is often the only option for traveling to some regions. Overall, private travelers can access more than 5,000 terminals and fixed-based operators (FBOs), while commercial aviation only has 500 available airports.
Another big factor for first-time private jet flyers is the level of guest services. Private aviation provides personalized experiences, with teams working tirelessly to ensure perfection. Here at Magellan Jets, our Guest Services team always puts your needs first. We can help arrange everything from in-flight catering and Wi-Fi, to ground transportation and more, making sure each aspect of your journey is just right.
4. Reliability & Convenience
Even first-class flyers have to wait in airports sometimes. Meanwhile, private jet travelers experience another level of reliability and convenience. Whether you’re chartering a private flight or flying as a member or jet card owner, flying private means landing and take off fit around your schedule. Overall, purely private solutions are more reliable and convenient than their commercial counterparts.
5. Ensure Business Continuity
Beyond leisure travel, private aviation is a great resource for businesses as well. Whether it’s providing safe transportation for executives and employees to transporting critical cargo and essential workers, first-time flyers trust private jets to keep business moving.
Whether it’s short-notice scheduling or changing aircrafts, private aviation is much more flexible than commercial travel. In particular, Magellan Jets members can schedule a flight on as little as 12 hours’ notice, with no blackout dates 365 days a year. Members also receive a 12-month locked-in hourly rate, so you’ll never be surprised by hidden fees or surcharges.
7. Guaranteed, Purely Private Solutions
Private aviation provides guaranteed solutions, so you always have an aircraft ready when you need one. Having this invaluable resource offers peace of mind, as you’ll know your experiences will always fit your needs. Explore Magellan Jets’ portfolio of purely private solutions below and start traveling on your terms today.
In episode 4 of From the Cockpit, the Magellan Jets podcast, Chief Operating Officer Todd Weeber discusses the safety measures needed to safely reopen services amid the coronavirus situation. In particular, Weeber explains why it will take the airlines a while to get back to business, as well as how private aviation is poised to see a surge in demand in the coming (and why you should book your private travel now). Click the link below to listen to the full From the Cockpit episode.
Following the FAA’s recent Safety Alert for Operators, which came 79 days after the WHO’s PHEIC declaration, many are wondering how airlines will implement these guidelines.
“It’s a daunting task for the airlines,” says Magellan Jets COO Todd Weeber. He goes on to explain that pilots, crews and their unions are concerned about how airlines will put new safety measures in place as states lift lockdowns.
“When it returns,” says Weeber, “they’re not going to want to be around crowds of people and risk infection.”
“It’s quite serious.” he adds. “We’re not messing around here in the industry.”
As for the FAA safety alert, it refers “the directors of operations and the people who conduct trainings inside the airlines” to safety measures established by the CDC, WHO, EPA and other federal agencies. “Simply speaking, social distancing and hygiene applied for a transportation organization,” explains Weeber.
“It’s going to take a long time for procedures to be put in place to do two things,” he says “One, make the average person feel comfortable with traveling in a mass transit environment while also feeling their risk of infection is low. And two, allowing the volume of human beings that move through an airport that is necessary to keep an airline economically viable.”
“It is going to cause significant delays to create a six-foot perimeter around each person and get them moving quickly,” he adds. “We can expect delays, we can expect doubt, we can expect problems.”
While private aviation demand surged in March before slowing in April, Weeber expects demand to rise as the economy rebounds. As people become more comfortable with wearing masks, social distancing and other safety measures, Weeber believes we’ll see another spike in business aviation, since it’s safer than first class.
“It’s going to happen a lot quicker than people think,” says Weeber. “Probably by mid-summer, the domestic demand for business aviation will be strong,”
Weeber encourages people to book with Magellan Jets now in order to ensure their trips. This is because it will take time for some operators to get back to business as well.
“Only the operators that have continued to operate successfully will be available to pick up the demand,” says the Magellan Jets executive. “What we’re recommending people do is take a hard look at what they want to do for their personal or business travel in May, June, July and book the trips now.”
Taking the leap from first-class to a private jet charter is quite the experience. While many aspects feel familiar-like the thrill of soaring through the sky en route to your favorite destination-others may need some getting used to. In order to help get you onboard, here are 10 frequently asked questions answered for first-time flyers.

Jackson Hole Guide: The Ultimate itinerary for Private Jet Travelers
How to fly Private to Jackson Hole
Flying private to Jackson Hole promises a panorama of natural wonders; the valley town is tucked away amidst the Teton Mountains and the pristine landscape of Grand Teton National Park. Booking a private jet to Jackson Hole is the ideal way to get there, in part because of the area’s beauty, which you see up-close from the air.
Additionally, a private jet trip is one of the only ways to get to Jackson Hole, as options are limited. In general, direct flights to Jackson Hole are only offered from U.S. 12 cities Fortunately, there is a dedicated private jet terminal at Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), the only airport serving Jackson Hole.
Flying here is especially exclusive because JAC is actually the only commercial airport in the U.S. located within a national park. Because of this, there are noise restrictions to consider; only specific jets with quiet capabilities can land at JAC. At 6,300 feet, the runway length is suitable for all types of commercial aircraft and private jets. However, only stage III jets may land at JAC due to these restrictions.
Located at an elevation of 6,451 feet, Jackson Hole also requires the expertise of an experienced private jet pilot. But, the journey is worth it: JAC’s location at the base of the Teton Range makes for spectacular take-offs and approaches, especially at sunset.
JAC is located 7 miles north of the center of town, so once your private jet lands, you don’t have far to go. Our Jackson Hole guide will show you the best spots to stay once you land.
Of course, no vacation is complete without mouthwatering eats to match. Book a table at Snake River Grill, Gather, or historic home-style eatery The Blue Lionfor a memorable meal. If you’re up for a culinary adventure, the slow cooked meats and exotic game options (think buffalo, venison and elk) at cowboy-inspired steakhouse Gun Barrel are popular for a hearty meal after a long day on the slopes. Overall, the top-rated restaurants in Jackson Hole tend toward the upscale but unfussy.
The Best things to do in Jackson Hole
Wondering what the best things to do in Jackson Hole are? The options for private jet travelers depend on the season.
Beloved for its award-winning slopes, Jackson Hole is consistently ranked as a top ski resort destination in a guide by Forbes. The tiny, scenic valley town offers impressive terrain, challenging runs and ample powder all winter long.
In winter time, skiing, snowboarding, and apres-ski activities are among the top things to do in Jackson Hole. You can also take a wildlife safari or book a day at a relaxing mountain spa, but dog sledding, ice skating, heli skiing and snowmobiling are also popular options.
In the summer, visitors enjoy extended hours of daylight and pleasant weather. It’s the perfect time to explore the wonder of the great American outdoors. Thankfully, Jackson Hole has a pair of perfect destinations with Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park.

U.S. National Parks: 3 Destinations to Explore The Great American Outdoors
Wondering which U.S. National Parks and remote destinations to visit for an upcoming private jet excursion? Here are a few ideas for your next trip with us.
1. Dry Tortugas National Park
The 100-square-mile Dry Tortugas National Park, located west of Key West, Florida, is mostly open water and 70 miles from the nearest city. Meanwhile, the actual Tortugas islands are only accessible by boat or plane (most commonly, a seaplane charter). Thankfully, Key West has a small airport of its own to fly into via private jet: Key West International Airport (EYW). From there, a seaplane or boat is necessary to access this part of the great American outdoors.
Across its 7 islands, Dry Tortugas National Park sports protected coral reefs, beaches, a lighthouse and the remains of an 1875 shipwreck. Also, visitors will find nesting sites for seabirds and even the 19th-century Fort Jefferson. Additionally Dry Tortugas National Park is popular for diving and enjoying time out on the water. It just may be the perfect place to entertain yourself on your private jet journey through the U.S. National Parks.
2. Isle Royale National Park
A remote island cluster located in Lake Superior, Michigan near the U.S.-Canada border, Isle Royale National Park is where people who fly private go when they’re seeking peace and solitude. Consequently, expect car-free, roadless backcountry with ample forests, lakes, waterways and wildlife. Generally, the only way to access this U.S. National Parks destination is via boat or seaplane.
To get as close as possible to this U.S. National Park, fly private as a Magellan Jets member or book a private jet charter into Houghton County Memorial Airport (CMX), Thunder Bay International Airport (YQT), Grand Marais/Cook County Airport (CKC, GRM) or Duluth International Airport (DLH).
3. American Samoa National Park
If you want to go really remote while perhaps helping carbon offsetting projects, then consider exploring the great American outdoors in the National Park of American Samoa. Due to it being in U.S. territory that’s many miles from almost everything, only a few thousand people visit each year. It’s comprised of 7 unspoiled islands and atolls floating in the South Pacific, teeming with reefs, rainforests, volcanos. and aquatic life. It’s a perfect getaway for private jet travelers who love visiting scenic U.S. National Parks.
Overall, American Samoa National Park is about as exotic and remote as it gets. Visitors should specifically fly private into Faleolo International Airport (APW), Fitiuta Airport (FAQ), or Ofu Airport (OFU).

We may be in the waning weeks of winter, but flu season isn’t slowing down. Since flu activity remains high across the U.S., it’s important for parents to keep an eye on their children while traveling, as they’re especially vulnerable to the virus. Read on for a list of helpful tips on how to survive the flu this season.
How to Survive the Flu: HEalth Tips for flying with Children
1. VACCines work
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the best course of action for combatting the flu in kids, as well as adults, are vaccines. The CDC recommends that everyone six months and older should get the flu vaccine every year, ideally before the season starts in the fall. However, since the season peaks in the winter, “getting vaccinated later can still be protective.”
For commercialand private jet passengers preparing for a trip, the CDC suggests getting vaccinated at least two weeks before traveling. This is because it takes that amount of time for the immunity to develop. Vaccinations are incredibly important for preventing the flu in kids who are traveling to contagious areas.
There are two types of vaccines. First is an injectable influenza vaccine (IIV) for ages 6 months and older that’s administered via a needle. The second type is a live inactivated influenza vaccine (LAIV), which is given as a nasal spray and is approved for ages two through 49. Always consult a medical physician on which is appropriate for your child.
2. Take precautions
In addition to vaccines, parents can take other precautions to prevent the flu in kids while flying private or commercial. As is the case with most disease prevention, avoiding contact with sick individuals and other best practices are key.
Instill healthy habits in your children, and make sure they know not to touch their eyes, faces, and noses. Washing hands with soap or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer is also vitally important.
Make sure your children also get the right amount of sleep, stay active, drink enough water, and eat a nutritious diet, as they all help in staying healthy and preventing the flu.
Since the flu is particularly lethal for young children, it’s important to know the symptoms. Identifying the warning signs early means you can get your kid treatment before things get worse.
The CDC advises to immediately seek medical care if your child has the following symptoms or any others that are causing concern:
-Fast breathing or trouble breathing
-Bluish lips or face
-Ribs pulling in with each breath
-Chest pain
-Severe muscle pain (child refuses to walk)
-Dehydration (no urine for 8 hours, dry mouth, no tears when crying)
-Not alert or interacting when awake
-Seizures
-Fever above 104°F
-In children less than 12 weeks, any fever Fever or cough that improve but then return or worsen
-Worsening of chronic medical conditions

Private flyers turn to business jets for their seamless ease and the convenient nature of private aviation. If you’re treating your in-flight time like a board room in the sky or an airborne office, the Falcon 2000 is your key to maximizing productivity and ensuring your investment works efficiently for your benefit.
For those who own this aircraft and would like to ensure access to the same jet during times of maintenance, or are considering a jet membership as a supplemental lift on this aircraft, read on.
Why the Falcon 2000?
Between its large cabin, long range, and fast speeds, Dassault’s Falcon 2000 is one of the most popular private jets in business aviation. The aircraft is equipped with advanced aerodynamics and avionic systems. These measures ensure flexibility, speed, and passenger comfort–a well rounded private aviation favorite.
In addition, most Falcon 2000s offer the ability to convert some seats to lie-flat beds. Pair that with the fact that crew can lower the cabin pressure so it feels like you’re flying at a much lower altitude, and you’re sure to arrive at your destination well rested and ready for the tasks ahead.
The Falcon 2000 flies at an average cruise speed of 450 knots and can carry 8 to 10 passengers. It has a range of nearly 3,000 miles, giving you the ability to reach beyond borders and across continents with ease.
While this aircraft is similar to jets like Gulfstream’s G450 and other comparable aircraft, it’s in a league of its own. To review additional aircraft, visit our aircraft comparison page.
Interesting Facts
One perk of the Falcon 2000 is it doesn’t require as much downtime as other aircraft on the market. The Falcon 2000 features fault monitoring and digital diagnostics systems. These features make maintenance more efficient than most jets of a similar caliber.
Passengers and owners can expect less turnaround time and less time needed for preventative maintenance and repair work. The Falcon 2000’s ease and efficiency are part of what makes it so popular among businesses and private flyers. Even Taylor Swift is a fan of Dassault’s Falcon series.
Flying the Falcon 2000 with Magellan Jets offers customers the ability to move at a moment’s notice as well as guaranteed, reliable access to the key places and people that matter to you and your business.
Sample Itinerary
Another reason the Falcon 2000 is a popular choice for business aviation is its transcontinental range. In other words, it can link faraway destinations in one seamless trip.
For example, the Falcon 2000 can make almost any trip in the United States nonstop. This includes routes like Miami to Seattle, Boston to San Francisco, New York to Los Angeles, even Palm Beach to Canada. It can link many large U.S. cities to destinations across both American continents, making major business trips less of a hassle.
Dassault’s Falcon 2000 is resilient and long range, trusted for the most sensitive and significant of travel needs. Dassault has long been a respected name in private aviation due to their high standards of performance and technology. It is among the top tier of business aircraft they have on offer.

‘Tis the season when winter travel commences for businesses, and so do ski vacations! And unfortunately, for some of us, ’tis also the season for icy airplanes and air traffic delays!
Winter weather brings special challenges for the aviation industry and its travelers. In addition to the hazards of snow-covered runways and in freezing temperatures, our pilots and operations staff work to manage air traffic control delays and de-icing procedures. It can be frustrating for business travelers to experience delays associated with winter operations, so we want to give you the inside scoop on why those delays occur.
Winter Travel Challenges: Snow and Ice
One might think flying through the snow seems daunting, but it’s really the snow-covered runways and taxiways that are more challenging for flight operations. Landing on a runway that’s snow- or ice-covered is a hazard pilots take seriously during the winter months. And at small airports with limited snow-removal equipment and personnel, it can take time to plow runways and taxiways, resulting in delays for aircraft in the air and on the ground.
Winter Travel Challenges: Freezing Temperatures and De-Icing Procedures
Freezing temperatures can mean an iced-up airplane, and the FAA has very strict rules about not taking off with visible frost or ice on an airplane. Taking off with even a small amount of frost on an airplane can reduce lift as much as 40 percent – so deicing is not only mandatory, but it’s always the right thing to do. De-icing can cause delays, as it does take time to de-ice before a flight.
Magellan wants to help reduce any additional costs and improve your comfort by putting aircraft in a hangar whenever possible. There are also rules about taking off into icing conditions. Since most business aircraft have anti-ice and de-ice systems onboard, light icing in flight is not usually a problem. But if the forecast calls for moderate or severe icing, or the pilot of another aircraft reports severe icing, delays or reroutes may occur in order to keep the airplane safely in the air.
Winter Travel Challenges: Low Visibility
Winter also means reduced visibility, especially in early morning when fog can be prevalent. Also, snowstorms can reduce visibility greatly for aircraft taking off or landing.
But why can some airplanes land in bad weather while others can’t? As a passenger, it can be frustrating to see a private jet fly into an FBO while your pilot reports you’ll have to divert to an alternate airport for weather. The FAA publishes minimums for each approach into an airport. Those minimums include visibility requirements and cloud height requirements, along with other limitations like airspeeds to follow and aircraft equipment requirements. In addition, each aircraft operator publishes their own, often more stringent requirements, for completing approaches at airports, especially if the airport is known to be a difficult one.
This explains why some aircraft are able to land at a particular airport while others can’t. Aircraft with specific equipment on board may have different visibility requirements for an approach. No pilot wants to hold in the air for weather to get better, or to divert. But, the minimums are there for a reason. That’s so that the pilots will be assured that they will see the runway in time to land safely.
Winter Travel Challenges: Air Traffic Control Delays
Air traffic control delays happen for a variety of reasons. For instance, airports have “rush hours” just like you see on the highways. These are particular times that require ATC to give airplanes a “flow time” or a scheduled arrival time. Poor weather slows this down even more, of course.
In the winter, the FAA may implement flow times and other delay programs. This is because of reduced visibility, hazardous weather conditions, de-icing procedures, or snow removal operations, to name a few. In addition, local airport procedures often dictate delays. For example, some airports are particularly challenging during the hight of the winter. An airport might have three runways, but only one runway that is designated for low-visibility operations. Low-visibility operations require certain lighting systems and weather reporting systems to be operational. Delays can occur is a piece of runway or taxiway equipment is inoperative, as well.
Winter Travel Challenges: Ramp and Vehicle Safety
Finally, it is just as important to us that we keep our airport staff and operations employees safe as it is that we keep our clients safe. Therefore, closed roads or winter weather may prevent an airport or operator from having a full staff during winter storms. Airport personnel work hard to ensure the airplanes are de-iced and the ramp areas are safe for everyone. Sometimes the weather just prevents operations from happening at full speed.
Winter Travel Challenges: Planning Ahead
At Magellan Jets, we work hard all year to ensure your safety. We know that winter travel months can be especially challenging with weather and ATC delays. We continuously work to mitigate delays by putting aircraft in hangars whenever possible and pre-positioning aircraft outside of snow events – so your aircraft arrives to pick you up warm and on-time.
