Case Study: Business Beyond the Usual – Why Private Flights Are an Investment, Not an Expense
The Smart Move for Serious Business – Private Flights, Why Invest
Making the switch from commercial to private flights may feel like a bold leap—but for many business leaders, it’s a step that transforms their working life. At Admiral Jet, we’ve helped countless clients discover that flying privately isn’t just about convenience or luxury; it’s a strategic investment in their time, productivity, and overall business success.
One such client, a fast-growing international consultancy firm, came to us frustrated with commercial travel. Their senior team was regularly crisscrossing Europe and the Americas for client meetings, industry conferences, and site visits, yet they were spending more time in airport lounges and security queues than actually getting work done. The result? Wasted hours, missed opportunities, and an exhausted team.
Time Is Money – And Private Flying Saves Both
For our client, the realisation came during one particularly disastrous trip. A key partner was due to attend an important pitch in Zurich, but thanks to a commercial flight delay, they arrived later than planned and ultimately lost the deal. The team knew they needed a smarter way to travel which would retain their professionalism at all times.
Enter Admiral Jet…
By shifting to private flights, their business saw an immediate transformation. Instead of navigating rigid airline schedules, they flew on their terms—direct from smaller, more convenient airports, without lengthy check-in times, delays, or the risk of missing connections. Boarding took minutes, not hours. Within a week of booking their first jet, the team was squeezing in multiple client meetings in a single day, rather than losing precious hours waiting at departure gates.
The Benefits Go Beyond the Flight Itself
Let’s talk about what really changed for them:
– Efficiency – Flying privately meant they could visit three clients in a single day, returning home in time for dinner instead of wasting time and budget in hotels.
– Productivity – The cabin became a mobile boardroom. No interruptions, no distractions—just focused work time in a secure, private environment. This was of huge benefit to busy teams!
– Wellbeing – Reduced travel stress led to sharper, more engaged employees who weren’t burning out on back-to-back exhausting commercial flights.
– Business Growth – Freed from the constraints of airline schedules, they took on more international clients, confident they could reach them at a moment’s notice.
Private Flights Are More Flexible Than You Think
If you’re wondering whether private flying is a practical option, let’s clear up some common questions:
– Where can I fly from?
Almost anywhere. Private jets use thousands more airports than commercial airlines, meaning you can often depart from one much closer to home.
– How flexible is it?
Exceptionally. Need to adjust departure times to fit a last-minute meeting? No problem.
– Do I need a long-term commitment?
Absolutely not. Some clients fly once a year, others once a week. We work around your needs, whether it’s an ad-hoc flight or a regular travel schedule.
– Can I book different jet sizes?
Yes! From light jets for quick trips to larger aircraft for full teams, we match the aircraft to your passenger numbers and distance travelled.
– What about luggage, onboard facilities, and food?
Unlike commercial airlines, private travel is built around you. Need space for specialist equipment? Sorted. Want a jet with a full bathroom and shower? No problem. Fancy a specific meal? Consider it done.
A Smarter Way to Do Business
The consultancy firm now sees private travel as an essential business tool. The return on investment is clear: they close more deals, operate more efficiently, and their team is happier and healthier. And let’s be honest—turning up to a meeting fresh, prepared, and in control beats arriving jet-lagged and frazzled after an economy-class red-eye.
