For the mid-to-small business market, the aircraft and jet charter business is gradually becoming more available and easier to use. Even in the face of rising fuel costs and the ease of meeting through video and web-conferencing, many businesses are still flying their top executives to attend their important meetings around the country, or even around the world. The increasing trend is to charter a private executive business jet if an organization does not own its own business jet, rather than flying its business or first-class CEOs on commercial flights.

Why a Private Company Airplane Charter?

Four reasons why chartering an executive business aircraft makes good business sense include the following:

In-Flight Safety- Chartering an executive business jet offers a higher degree of personal protection that can not be experienced today on most commercial airlines. Do not forget that you rent the whole aircraft, not just one seat when you travel on a chartered private executive jet. This is why, in terms of the protection of confidential business information, you can be sure of much greater security. You won't have to think about why the guy behind you is scribbling furiously away in a notebook as your meeting goes on.

Effectiveness - Instead of waiting in long lines at airport security checkpoints, chartered private executive jet passengers can save more time during departure by gaining direct access to the aircraft. Not only that but since the plane will wait for you at the point of arrival, you can depart on your own schedule. A meeting can be held early in the afternoon and you can still be home in time for dinner, allowing you to return to work the next morning.

Simplicity Chartering an executive business aircraft today is simpler than ever before. The internet is one of the simplest ways to locate an aircraft charter company. You can, however, also check for aircraft charter brokers who represent as your private charter jet liaison and can help you find the best charter company that fits your requirements.

Status Symbol - The use of the business jet is one of the greatest incentives given to quite a few coveted CEOs. Many businesses are aware of this, and they have to deliver the best perks to stay successful in attracting talent. For many mid-sized companies that can not afford to buy their own company plane, chartering a private executive business jet has become the norm. Yet another example of why the charter aircraft industry is on the rise.

At first, it can sound more costly, but this can be an excellent business decision. When you want to depart the plane will leave and arrive at an airport of your preference while avoiding the tension caused by long delays in security. In addition, the real price tag for chartering business aircraft can be similar to that of any scheduled commercial flight, depending on the number of passengers.

 Indian aviation industry to incur losses with decreasing revenue and growing costs in 2021-22.

To say that airlines have experienced turbulence in 2020 would be an understatement. Airlines have collectively lost $120 billion and counting in what is aviation's most challenging year. It is predicted the losses will worsen.

In 2021-22, the Indian aviation industry is expected to continue to incur major losses and IndiGo airlines will emerge significantly stronger than their competitors from the COVID-19 pandemic, said aviation consulting firm CAPA India on Monday.

The price of oil and the exchange rate are two of the key factors affecting the cost of operating an airline.

Although revenue remains under pressure, costs will also increase compared to FY2021, the aforementioned study added that the Brent Crude is expected to be USD 50-60 per barrel on average and that the USD/INR exchange rate is expected to stay in the 73-75 range over the next fiscal year.

In its report on the 'top ten trends to watch in 2021,' CAPA India said, "Airlines will have to carry the costs of a large proportion of their fleet remaining grounded, especially those that were earlier deployed on international routes." The report said that consolidation in the Indian aviation industry is inevitable and could result in a "2-3 airline system" in the near to medium term. "The structure of competition may change in the near to medium term, possibly resulting in a two-horse race in both the airline and airport sectors," it said.

The dollar is expected to strengthen further on the foreign exchange front, causing India's airlines a great deal of pain. This is because lease, maintenance and financing payments are in dollar terms while revenues are in rupee terms. The currency difference would lead to greater cash outflow pressures. It is likely that this burden will continue. 

The recovery in demand, particularly in international traffic, remains uncertain. Airlines will not be profitable in the absence of a complete recovery in higher-yielding sectors such as corporate travel. Unless the government intervenes in the form of sector-specific policy initiatives, lenders and investors will remain wary of the industry (especially airlines). The government, at least for the first half of 2021, might be tempted to retain price floors and caps.

For the near future, foreign flights are likely to continue operating under bubble arrangements rather than under bilateral air service agreements. Airlines have been operating special international flights under air bubble arrangements implemented with around 24 countries since July.

Airlines of the two countries can operate flights between their territories with some restrictions, under a bilateral air bubble arrangement.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐭?

 A question that nervous airplane passengers sometimes pose is this: What is the safest airplane seat? The reply: NONE. Since crashes can occur at any location within the aircraft.

Some people assume that the nearer you sit at an emergency exit, the better you are. Unfortunately, that is not completely true. As in any location inside the aircraft, a fire may begin near the emergency exit. And if the emergency exit is jammed, the person sitting closest to it is in the same situation as the person sitting farthest from it.

The risks to one's safety is reduced significantly by one thing above all else, regardless of where the passenger is seated inside the aircraft: by being alert and mindful of one's environment.

Being alert means being vigilant and watchful. Notice where all exits are located. Listen to all the procedures for pre-flight and in-flight. Do not have too much to drink. Use common sense and try not to do something that will affect your own safety, as well as that of others, such as carrying too much baggage, spilling hot drinks, being reckless with sharp-edged items or stuff. Use common sense yet again.

Despite the concerns and misgivings surrounding air travel, airplane accidents are uncommon. But if one happens during the flight, staying calm and not panicking are very important for the passenger. Fear is a disease which is extremely infectious. Had the chaos been contained, many deaths in crashes, including those that occurred on land, may have been avoided. Therefore, take a deep breath in the event of an accident, keep the tone of voice down, and follow the line.

There is no such thing as the plane's most secure seat. But if he or she wishes to, any passenger can still make his or her seat the safest one, wherever he or she is seated. After all, building a sense of security within oneself is a game of the mind.

The Indian aviation industry will receive its newest airline, Flybig, in the first week of 2021, which will commence operations on January 3.

The airline founded by Sanjay Mandavia - a pilot-turned-aviation entrepreneur - will operate three times a week in the initial couple of weeks. "We will later scale up to have five flights a week, from mid-February," CEO Srinivas Rao said.

India's newest airline, Flybig, which obtained a permit from DGCA in December, will have its inaugural flight to Ahmedabad from Indore. The opening time for flying will be one hour and five minutes.

Flybig will connect the Indore-Raipur route to its network starting on January 13. And the airline will begin flying from Ahmedabad to Bhopal from 1 February onwards. The airline will have regular flights serving all three tier-2 cities by the end of March this year.

Even as domestic air traffic continues to increase, the launch of the new airline comes with a drive during the festive season and year-end travel. While the government has increased the ceiling, allowing airlines to use 80% of their capacity now, the expectation is that this will be further eased.

Flybig has an ATR aircraft, and is adding a second one in the process.

The airline, which had received its permit from the DGCA regulator on 14 December, partially began operations on 21 December when it was operating a chartered flight with an aircraft rented from SpiceJet on a wet-lease. To coincide with the Meghalaya government's decision to open the state for tourism, the airline flew from Delhi to Shillong, as domestic travel gradually recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

By serving snacks onboard, but un-bundling other services, the airline would follow a hybrid model.

𝐈𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐰 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.

Although the pandemic has impacted industries hard, the aviation industry was among the world's worst-hit in 2020. In India, when the Covid-19 lockdown was enforced in March, air travel was limited. Since May 25, scheduled domestic flights have been resumed in a restricted way.


In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge effect on the Indian aviation industry, and major airlines facing losses and tough times laid off staff sent them on leave without pay or reduced their salaries.

In April, AirAsia India cut the wages of its senior staff by up to 20 percent. Starting in April, Vistara launched a seniority-based leave without pay policy for its employees. Indian airlines currently operate domestic flights at approximately 80 percent of their pre-COVID levels. By March 2021, domestic services are projected to hit their pre-COVID levels.

In October, CAPA India predicted that the Indian aviation industry will lose a combined USD 6-6.5 billion in FY21, of which USD 4-4.5 billion will be accounted for by airlines.

It is expected that the revival of overseas travel will be slower and more complex than domestic travel. In particular, this will hurt Air India, as about 60% of its revenue was previously generated from foreign operations.

The October 17 bid to revive Jet Airways was won by a consortium of UAE-based businessman Murari Lal Jalan and London's Kalrock Capital. The airline is expected to start operating by the summer of 2021.

The consortium said it is awaiting NCLT and other regulatory approvals by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, including the reinstatement of slots and bilateral traffic rights (DGCA). Slots are important commodities in the aviation industry, which is the time zone at which a flight can land at the airport, as well as bilateral traffic privileges, the amount of flights that an airline can fly to the city of another country.

Consolidation, along with progress on the disinvestment of Air India, could also be a theme to look out for in the coming year.

In 2021, investors can watch for consolidation in the post-covid world of the aviation market. Eventually, we expect three major groups to survive—IndiGo, the Tatas and SpiceJet Ltd.

The Indian aviation sector is hoping for a much better year compared to 2020, with the anti-coronavirus vaccine likely to begin in 2021. On December 21, India announced that all UK-connected passenger flights will be suspended from December 23 to December 31.

The Indian aviation industry may get another new carrier, perhaps before the year's end, with Air Taxi getting the Scheduled Commuter Airlines Permit from the controller DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation).

The RCS, or the Regional Connectivity Scheme of the Government Authority, known as UDAN, provides airlines with an opportunity to begin services in urban Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The subsidy the government authority offers, per seat, to the transporters is one incentive.

Air Taxi will have a fleet of Tecnam P2006T airplane, a twin-engine four-seat plane produced by Italian firm Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam.

Information from the Airports Authority of India indicated that by November, 299 of the UDAN courses were operational. Air Taxi was granted courses in the fourth period of the plan. It will most likely be the first to begin services on routes granted in this round.

The exact month, Star Air, a Bengaluru-based provincial airline, begun services from Kalaburagi in Karnataka to Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad. This route was granted in the third stage.

Tecnam airplanes are less expensive to maintain than a turboprop. 

These airplanes don't run on aeronautics turbine fuel, as the other customary planes, yet on flying gas.

There were not many open doors that 2020, attacked as it has been by COVID-19, hurled for the Indian Aviation Business. However, every time it did, SpiceJet was presumably leading the squares to lock on to it.

On March 25, the cross-country lockdown happened, bringing to stop every single economic activity, including flight administrations. Ajay Singh-drove carrier turned into the first to run a cargo-on-seat flight, on April 7.

By that point, it had just hauled around 1,400 tons of cargo on 200 Domestic and Worldwide flights, utilizing its devoted cargo fleet. As the aircraft stood out as truly newsworthy for its various cargo flights, the majority of them conveying fundamental essential goods, its stock rose more than 15 percent inside seven days, a lot quicker than the Sensex.

The exact month, the aircraft likewise launched SpiceCare, its air rescue vehicle administration, to consider critical medical necessities of those incapable to head out because of lockdown limitations.

In July, barely a month after Domestic flights restarted in end-May, SpiceJet was assigned as a scheduled transporter to work administrations among India and the UK. It got comparative rights for traveling to the US as well.

On August 1, it operated its 'first wide-body flight' traveling to Amsterdam. A couple of days later, it got slots in London's Heathrow Airport. In October, the carrier declared plans to turn into the principal low-cost airline from the nation to dispatch direct flights to the UK. The scorn was on India's biggest low-cost airline IndiGo, which for since quite a while ago had held London yearnings, however was at this point to begin operations.

𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐚'𝐬 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚.

 Tata Group, India's biggest conglomerate, is accepted to have presented an expression of interest (EOI) for the ambushed public transporter Air India throughout the end of the week. It is found out that the vehicle used to record the interest in AI is AirAsia India, where Tata Sons has a critical greater part stake.


A gathering of 200 Air India representatives also is required to put an expression of interest, the cutoff time for which is Monday 5pm. The group professes to have a monetary financial specialist locally available. Ajay Singh of SpiceJet too is peering toward AI however the homegrown transporter declined to remark. Not at all like May 2018, when the main endeavor to sell AI finished without any admirers, this time around, there are different interests.

Despite the fact that Tata Sons runs a head full-administration transporter, Vistara, in partnership with Singapore Airlines, it chose to course its AI interest through budget transporter AirAsia India. Singapore Airlines was not sharp in partaking in the privatization program of the generally distressed AI, as it would just add to Vistara's and its own monetary difficulties.

The Southeast Asian organization is amidst raising liquidity after it posted its greatest quarterly loss because of a dive in travel request in light of Covid. Then, AI's obligation-cum-liabilities' consolidated weight is nearly Rs90,000 crore.

Sources said that since AirAsia India was framed before Vistara, the former's contract permits it to enter the full-administration business. As of late, Tata Sons expanded its stake in AirAsia India from 51% after the Malaysian accomplice communicated its powerlessness to inject new funds into the joint endeavor because of monetary difficulties in its nation of origin. The Tata Group—which established AI as Tata Airlines in October 1932—is being viewed as the most probable winner, as per industry watchers. The government authority assumed responsibility for AI in 1953.

The government authority has this time generously improved the deal terms for AI. It has offered available to be purchased its 100% stake in AI and AI Express — rather than 76% in the first endeavor — and the whole half it claims in-ground dealing with joint endeavor AI-SATS. Likewise, potential purchasers will currently bid on an Enterprise Value (EV) premise.

This implies as opposed to being needed to take on a pre-fixed degree of Rs 23,000 crore obligation of the airline, they will currently cite an EV dependent on their gauge of the joined estimation of AI's value and obligation. Winning bidders will be settled on who cites the most noteworthy EV esteem, and in any event, 15% of this worth should be paid in actual money while the rest can be assumed as an obligation.

Bidders had looked for an explanation from the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) with respect to the changes. One of them, referring to immense money necessities for things like up-gradation of the AI fleet and VRS program, proposed the government authority to sell AI without requesting any forthright money installment.
