The price tag of the aircraft itself is only the beginning when you purchase a business jet. Additional start up costs include:

• Recruiting, hiring and transplanting a crew
• Securing a hangar
• Establishing a maintenance infrastructure

All of this can present a huge hit to your balance sheet, and that's only the start of the far-reaching financial implications.

Standard leasing programs offer an average term of five years, locking you into a long term financial obligation. The aircraft is yours for the next 60 months, regardless of your changing needs. Short term leasing, on the other hand, allows you the flexibility to more quickly respond to your changing needs. Also, many senior corporate executives are choosing short-term leases because they want to limit how far their obligations are extended.

When you participate in a fractional program, you own a share of the aircraft, with your access limited by the size of that share. In other words, if there is a scheduling conflict with a larger shareholder, you may not be able to use the aircraft. Other inconveniences include significant initial investment, expensive transfer costs upon the disposition of an interest, aircraft market fluctuation risks, rotating crews and regular monthly and annual fees.

For many executives, there are too many unknowns when it comes to chartering business aircraft. In many cases, they are unfamiliar with the aircraft, the charter company or the crew. Add to that a number of limitations, including the inaccessibility of a number of airports due to weather conditions or weather reporting systems, passenger manifest requirements and equipment availability, and chartering may not be right for you. Many businesses that frequently charter business aircraft are starting to evaluate the financial benefits of leasing.
