KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- JetCharters.com, the Worldwide Air Charter Marketplace, has unveiled a new aviation alliance with a wide range of top private charter operators just in time for the holiday travel rush when predicted travel numbers are set to reach an all-time high. The new alliance with more than 265 operators across the nation makes more than 820 aircraft available for charter customers around the globe.

"This new wider range of partners means the perfect solution for any trip," said Robert Hart, president at JetCharters.com. "We have small air taxi for short range, as well as heavy jets for larger groups and everything in between."

Key benefits of choosing private air charter through the new alliance include the option of service to more airports than commercial airlines as well as ease of travel and a more personalized experience.

Additionally, JetCharters.com was recently featured in a New York Post article about how charter jet travel is becoming increasingly more popular among travelers because of how affordable it is.

Hart went on to say that "while there has previously been a belief that private jet travel is for the ultra-rich, we are working to de-bunk this myth. The new and increased options now available on JetCharters.com make private flight affordable and available for many."

In fact, JetCharters.com was initially developed to meet the growing needs of a growing number of domestic and international jet charter business travelers.

Thousands of companies and organizations of all sizes depend on private aviation to minimize travel time, and enhance the efficiency, productivity, safety and security of key personnel.

Business travelers are provided rapid, point-to-point, on demand transportation to approximately 5,000 airports in the United States alone (an amount which is ten times the number served by commercial airlines).

Often, the efficiency of flying via private charter allows travelers to reach multiple destinations in a single day, a feat which is impossible when traveling any other way.

The number of possible points of departure and arrival combined with the ability to maintain demanding business schedules make up more than 80 percent of reasons offered by passengers to choose private air charter. About a quarter of private aviation travel for business is for the purpose of visiting current customers while another twenty percent has been cited for new business development opportunities.

And it's not just business travelers who utilize private aviation. Due to the increased stress of flying commercial, many consumers have begun seeking alternative methods of air travel. The U.S. Travel Association recently released findings that Thanksgiving-like travel congestion will soon be the new normal for more than 30 major airports across the country.

While private air charter is certainly a more pleasant experience once in-flight, the booking process has traditionally proven to be challenging for many consumers. However, the mission of JetCharters.com is to remove the mystery from the experience and make all the necessary information readily available to consumers and that is demonstrated through the new alliance.

In conjunction with its new aviation alliance, JetCharters.com has unveiled a new website design and format which makes it even easier for consumers to find the perfect private charter solution in their area. This is crucial because having local options matters, as opposed to chartering from out of town which adds significantly to the cost.

The time and expense required to move an aircraft to one's point of departure is known as 'ferry time' and it can more than triple the cost of the charter.

"Many charter companies market themselves as being worldwide, but in reality they often have to ferry their aircraft to a traveler's point of departure before the flight, which can get very expensive," said Hart. "Our new wider network of operators, spread across the country, limits ferry time and cost for charter travelers because we have access to more local options."

Through the new alliance, JetCharters.com also maintains its strong commitment to passenger safety, providing charter solutions from FAA licensed operators and offering other safety ratings, including ARGUS.

JetCharters.com carefully vets only the best of the best charter operators to provide air charter travelers with peace of mind knowing they can select any operator to get an elite, first-class experience. 

Other features of the new alliance include significant improvements to JetCharters.com's technology to better match consumers with their perfect charter solution, for each and every flight. When consumers enter their trip details, whether for business of pleasure travel, an improved proprietary algorithm ranks preferred aircraft with desired features.

The fully responsive site has an updated look and is optimized for viewing on every possible device, making the process more streamlined for both charter consumers and operators who want to connect, no matter where they are. JetCharters.com also has a mobile app for Droid and iOS users. In the short time since the app was launched, it has gotten more than 5k combined downloads.  

"The new JetCharters.com was developed after focused research on the needs of both charter operators and private air charter travelers," said Hart. "Our goal is to provide operators more control and increased interactivity so they can better leverage the leads they obtain to serve more consumers."
