AVIATION
FLYING BUBBLES:
SUMMER TRAVELLERS GROUP
UP IN PRIVATE JETS
(AND HERE’S WHERE THEY’RE HEADING)
Private jet demand from UK travellers looking to get away this
summer is rising, with travel restrictions lifting, but many people
unable or reluctant to take airline flights. And many taking private
jets are doing so for the first time.
PrivateFly, a Directional Aviation company, reports that 65% of its
flights are for new clients, rather than the 25% it usually sees. The
company says it is also seeing a clear increase in leisure travellers
looking to share the cost of a private flight, by grouping up with
friends or extended families.
