The private aircraft industry is by no means immune to regulations and restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Both the pilot and the aircraft go through a series of thorough exams and reviews.

Private aviation companies take safety and security very seriously. Their customer base demands that they do. Most private jet firms claim to exceed the standards and practices of the FAA. In fact, the FAA has heightened security standards at private airports.

Jet Chartering is another very popular method of exclusive private travel. When traveling in groups, jet chartering may be competitively priced to commercial airline travel. Considering the time needed to travel to the airport, and to arrive early at the airport departure gate, charter programs are certainly worthy of considerations. Unlike fractional ownership programs, jet charters have no monthly fees or high acquisition costs.
