There are many misconceptions about business aviation and private jets. Private jet travel is not just for celebrities or footballers! And it can be quite affordable and sometimes even more cost-effective than flying commercially. If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution, consider renting small business jets that offer great value for money. While there are many options for travelling by private jet at lower cost, such as empty flights or group flights for example, AEROAFFAIRES presents a selection of the cheapest private jets for hire.
However, it is important to distinguish between public and private transport. This list of cheap private jets obviously only includes business jets for public transport, and not for tourist or leisure aviation (private transport).
