Like all segments of business aviation, fractional ownership took a heavy hit during the “Great Recession of 2008.”

With the economy in the cellar, travel needs diminished and aircraft values plummeting, cash-hungry shareholders lined up in droves to sell their fractions back to the providers since those were among the few sure instruments of liquidity. To survive the downturn, some fractional companies “reinvented” themselves, while at least one major player absorbed its losses by drastically reducing its fleet and falling back on the resources of its wealthy parent.

Santa’s Not the Only One Open for Business on Christmas

ElJet mentioned in Business News Daily to read the full article click here.

While some businesses are fixing home-based Christmas problems, others are in the business of getting people home.

Los Angeles-based ElJet, a private charter broker, helps customers find and book charter flights all over the world. Last year, bad weather at Christmas-time left thousands of passengers stranded and proved a great business opportunity for the company, which was open for business on Christmas.

They were called on to arrange a flight for a family headed from Massachusetts to Turks and Caicos, flew someone else from Mazatlan, Mexico, to New York and arranged a $120,000-charter flight from London to Aspen, said company president Ben Schusterman.

Shusterman said the company’s valiant Christmas booking efforts were rewarded in the form of new loyal customers.

“So many of these customers told us that they had tried many companies and had no luck. We made miracles happen and they have become repeat customers. It’s been a great benefit to us.”

This year, though, he hopes customers will book early.

“It’s been insane this year. We’ve had customers booking in October for Christmas and New Year’s,” Schusterman said.

Despite that, Schusterman said, there surely will be people who decide as late as today (Dec. 23) or tomorrow that they want to travel on Christmas and ElJet will be there, trying its best to arrange a flight.

Private Jet Travel Will Surge in 2012

Cannes, France – Reported by Elite Traveler, the private jet lifestyle magazine

Private Jet travel will surge in 2012 and be the bright spot of the travel industry predicted a leading editor from The Economist. Speaking at the 10th Annual International Luxury Travel Mart here, John Andrews said U.S. economic doldrums, the Arab Spring has turned in to summer and Eurozone woes will impact affluent travel at large. However, he specifically pointed to private jet travelers as a growing segment so well off they are immune to the vagaries of the daily economy impacting the Mass Affluent.

The Japanese government in a press conference unveiled a new initiative offering “greater convenience for visiting Japan by business jets.” New and enhanced private jet facilities at both Narita and Kansai are designed to make Japan more attractive to wealth travelers who fly by private jet, said Gota Otaka, Director of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Otaka said improvements will means private jets can now arrive at Kansai International Airport 365 days a year, 24 hours a day providing convenient access to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and Kobe.

Speaking at ILTM’s Opening Sessions luxury futurist James Walton of LS:N said travel see an “hourglass economy” of the very high and low doing well, with the middle being squeezed.

Backing up the strength of the ultra-high end market, Frank Holtman, General Manager of The Dorchester Collection’s Le Meurice in Paris told Elite Traveler in an exclusive conversation, despite the influx of new luxury hotels in the capital, her biggest challenge is not having enough signature suites to meet the demand of global traveling luxury consumers (TLCs) who fly by private jet and take top suites. Six Senses, the Asian based spa resort group which features villas and bungalows ranging up to 15,000 square feet and often selling for over $10,000 per night re-affirmed that the strength of the luxury market is at the top end.

Walton said the Mass Affluent who he described as earning between $100,000 and $250,000 are being squeezed in a tight economy and “have enough stuff” and are simply struggling to survive.
