Why own your own private jet?
If you are a businessman and can afford it, owning your own private jet has many advantages. Long hours of flying become hours of work. Private jets are real flying offices with technology and services on board that are as good or better than on the ground. Even in the sky, it is possible to enjoy a high-speed network, extreme comfort and staff at your service.
If you’re wondering, should you buy or lease a private jet? Buying a private jet allows you to have complete freedom in the use of your aircraft. However, leasing a private jet is much cheaper than buying one. Renting allows you to avoid a substantial investment that may not be very profitable.
