Welcome to the Business Jet Guide 2010

For the first time in history business jets are moving out of the realm of the super-rich and into that of the everyday business traveler.

In decades past a Lear jet or Gulfstream was almost exclusively the province of the ultra-rich with cash to spare. They provided a level of privacy, comfort and convenience that no major airline could match. With separate airfields, schedules designed around the traveler's needs, not the airlines', private jets were the ultimate in air travel.

But now travel by private jet or business jet is feasible for a wide variety of businesses, well beyond the top executives of the Fortune 500. Though recent rises in fuel costs have raised the bar, the overall economic advantages are still within reach for all but very small companies.

In the next two decades we could well see the day when half the flights now booked on commercial airline jets would be taken on private or business jets instead. Traveling from San Francisco to LA could be as easy as taking the train from London to Paris.

Our Business Jet Guide is here to help you navigate through the world of business jet travel today, tomorrow and into the future.
