AVIATION
By the way , how much do private flights cost ?
It depends on the aircraft model , flight duration , and related services . One flight hour costs from 2.5 to 8 thousand euros . For example , a flight from London to Paris can cost from 5 to 9 thousand euros and from Manchester to Rome from 12 to 15 thousand . Business jets usually carry 4-10 passengers , and if the cost is shared among them , the price will be identical to the normal airline business class or slightly higher .
What aircraft models do your clients choose ?
Small , cost-efficient planes are suitable for the majority of our clients . The most frequent passenger mix is 3-5 persons . So it is profitable to rent five-seat HondaJet models ( https :// honda . promo /). These are ultra-light jets , and our company is the world ’ s largest owner of these aircraft .

Does anyone choose luxury flights today , or is everyone looking for budget options ?
Any trip by private jet is more comfortable than a regular flight . So I would not divide flights into ordinary and luxury ones . Our company provides all related services : transfer by business class cars , preparation of entry documents , delivery of restaurant meals and elite drinks on board , hotel reservations , concierge service in Europe , organization of VIP vacations and tourist programs on the Côte d ’ Azur up to the rental of villas and yachts . Travel is arranged from an airport of the client ’ s choice at an appointed time , and pre-flight formalities take only a few minutes . None of this depends on the aircraft model .
A budget option is to rent a seat on a private plane , because in this case clients have to adjust . This service became popular with the middle class during the pandemic . As for VIP-travels , we are always ready to offer our wealthy clients luxury aircraft with a bedroom , a kitchen and a bathroom , organize dinner with truffles and black caviar , pick them up from the airport by helicopter and deliver directly to the board of a superyacht ( https :// scanmarine . ru /).
They can fly from the UK and Ireland all over Europe , and we provide them on the most favorable terms , at a price 15-20 % lower than their counterparts . If you need flights to the Cote d ’ Azur , we offer additional discounts . All jets are new , with no more than 100-500 hours flight time , operated by highly qualified French crews , and based in Cannes . They are distinguished by innovative safety measures , increased sound insulation and environmental friendliness . Due to their small size , they can land in the world ’ s smallest airports , so the flight territory is almost limitless . We also give a bottle of French champagne to all clients who book HondaJets .
Of course , through Jet . Paris - Aviav TM ( Cofrance SARL ) you can also rent any other aircraft model . The company is a broker and provides business jets without its own markups , on suppliers ’ terms . Popular models include Bombardier , Embraer , Pilatus , Cessna ( https :// cessna . promo /), and , if necessary , we are ready to provide large airliners , such as Boeing 737-300 VIP ( https :// boeing737 . ru /) or Airbus 320 Corporate designed for 50-150 passengers .
But this is a rare approach . What is important for most clients is promptness , direct flight and quiet , comfortable travel to be able to work on the Internet , relax , have a glass of wine , and arrive at the destination feeling refreshed . Regular clients don ’ t even use the manager ’ s help . They rent planes on their own through the iPhone app ( https :// avia . app / en /), choose the model they prefer and related services .
Will demand for private flights go down when the pandemic ends ?
I ’ m sure it won ’ t . Many people have discovered the benefits of private aviation and realized that it is an affordable service , comparable to ordering an air cab . Aviation experts predict further growth in the popularity of private flights not only in Europe , but all over the world .
