SherpaReport's 'Guide to Private Aviation' Explains Shared Aircraft Options

BOSTON, Sept. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For discriminating families and corporations, private aviation is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to commercial flying. The new SherpaReport Guide to Private Aviation provides an in-depth comparison of fractional ownership, fractional jet cards, charter cards and on-demand charter options for private aviation. The report assists businesses and individuals in choosing the private aviation programs that best suit their needs.

The initial section of the Guide covers the reasons to use private aviation and discusses the advantages of flying privately. Although private aviation companies did see lulls in usage during the recent recession, they are now reporting increases in the numbers of customers.

The Guide also explains the different types of aircraft, and includes a section on identifying the right aircraft for a company or an individual's travel needs. The core part of the report explains the different program types, including fractional aircraft ownership, both fractional jet cards and charter jet cards and also on-demand jet charter. Each of these programs has its own characteristics, structure and different price points. For some people a mix of these programs may well be the answer, if they have a variety of flights that they take over the course of a year.

The sample pricing information, an overview of key documents for fractional ownership and a glossary of private flying terms are all included to educate and assist prospective buyers.

"This Guide provides the information that will help people make sound decisions about using private aviation," said Nick Copley, President of SherpaReport. "By reading the report you'll know more about the different options, how they work, how much they cost, and the key questions to ask prior to making a decision."

The free downloadable Guide to Private Aviation is available on http://www.SherpaReport.com.
