Private Jet Travel

18 Oct 07 00:12:49 GMT

Many of today’s travelers view commercial airline travel as a chore rather than a pleasure. In recent years, frequent flyers have found themselves burdened by security concerns, long lines and inconvenient departure times. For busy businessmen, the prospect of commercial air travel and crowded public airports is daunting. Flying commercial typically requires travelers to arrive hours before departure. For business travelers who can’t afford to waste hours in the airport flying each way, the hassles of commercial air travel make regular trips an unpleasant experience.

Steady economic prosperity in the United States, together with rapidly expanding growth globally; has put a strain on the already over-worked commercial airline industry. Increased demand for air travel, new technologies, and the development of a new business model has fueled the emergence of private aviation as a cost-effective alternative for weekly travelers. The flexibility afforded by chartering a private aircraft is perhaps one of the greatest catalysts to the growth of private aviation. In addition, the economics of the charter model is bringing private jet travel within the reach of an ever-increasing number of travelers.

Private aviation offers many benefits over the mundane commercial air line travel experience. Private air travel is arranged at the convenience of the traveler; eliminating the inconvenience of scheduled departure times and cancelled flights. One may casually arrive at the desired departing airport within as little as 20 minutes prior to departure time. When flying on a commercial airline one is limited to fewer than 700 commercial airports, potentially resulting in long drives and traffic setbacks further delaying the busy schedule of the traveler. Users of private aviation can take advantage of nearly 5,000 airports in the United States; enabling travelers to land just minutes from their destination. While this convenience saves travelers considerable time, traveling on a private aircraft also provides a comfortable and private work area. Since one travels only with guests of one’s choosing, sensitive business discussions are kept confidential, enabling the traveler to maintain productivity while in transit.

The advantages in time, efficiency and productivity offered by flying on a private jet are clear, but obtaining an aircraft at an affordable price offers challenges of its own. Stratos Jet Charters, Inc., enables would-be commercial travelers to easily gain access to a jet of their choosing from home or abroad.

Stratos Jet Charters, Inc., acts as an agent on behalf of their customers to provide assistance in securing aircraft and to provide assurance of fair market value for their private jet charter trip.

Stratos Jet Charters’ innovative approach to service has led them to launch a campaign to “Offset Your Jet” through their Eco-Jet Charter Program. This unique program was designed for the most discerning traveler who wishes to balance their flights environmental impact. Stratos Jet Charters and TerraPass have partnered to enable users of private aviation to make contributions that fund renewable energy research and conservation projects. The projects funded through their Eco-Jet Charter Program aim to develop long-term solutions to global warming. President of Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. “We encourage all users of private aviation to book their flights through our Eco-Jet Charter Program”.

Participation by clients in Stratos Jet Charters/TerraPass Eco-Jet Charters program exceeds expectations.

Orlando, Florida, October 1, 2007.

Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. reports that client participation in their Eco-Jet Charter program has improved as a result of their “offset your jet” campaign. Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. first partnered with TerraPass early in May of 2007. Joel A. Thomas President of Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. said “Stratos jets is an innovative company. We take pride in our ability to assist in all areas and concerns of our clients. In the spring of this year, we were challenged by an environmental group in North Carolina, to promote “carbon neutral” flights. Through our partnership with TerraPass we have met that challenge.” 6 months into the program Stratos Jets has helped a number of their clients offset the carbon emissions of their flight. Initially, many of these offsets came in the form of contributions from Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. on behalf of their clients. A shift in who is contributing has recently occurred. Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. reports that in the month of September, 2007 a total of 35,236lbs of Carbon emissions were offset by their customers. Joel A. Thomas President of Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. attributes this shift to “promotion of our “offset your jet” campaign. Joel A. Thomas also said “to help put this in perspective, our clients contributions are equivalent to having offset the carbon emissions of nearly 6 cars driven for an entire year” In Spring of 2007 Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. researched companies who provide carbon offsets. A decision to partner with TerraPass was made based upon the values and beliefs of the representatives of Stratos Jets. Joel A. Thomas of Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. believes that “taking part in a program like this ought to do more than just plant trees. While that is important; we feel that a long-term approach to protecting the environment requires investing in the research and development of renewable energy and energy conservation technologies. That is why we chose to partner with TerraPass.” TerraPass is the premiere carbon offset company. Carbon Credits purchased through TerraPass make contributions to companies who provide for long-term solutions to the climate problems we currently face. Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. can help you offset your carbon emissions from you private plane flight; however cannot help offset the carbon emissions from your car or home. Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. encourages all of their clients to offset their entire “carbon footprint”. To learn more about carbon offsets visit TerraPass on the web at www.TerraPass.com.
