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.
7 Reasons Why First-Time Flyers Choose 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.

Overall, purely private solutions are more reliable and convenient than their commercial counterparts.
