'In the US there are no business flights and you really don't have the service that you would expect if you are a very busy person. 'With private flights, you can decide what time you want to set off and arrive, at a time that suits the individual and their business needs.'

The ability to get anywhere, at any time, can be priceless when it comes to the limited leisure time most customers experience.
