Flying charter could be the biggest productivity improvement your company makes this year. The limited number of non-stop commercial flights out of Indianapolis International can make business travel a time-consuming proposition. But imagine being able to visit customers in three different cities in one day, and getting home in time for dinner. By flying charter, you could save thousands in travel costs while you see your revenues grow. You’ll connect with more customers more frequently. It’s like having an office in hundreds of cities for a fraction of the cost.

The Benefits of Charter

When you calculate the staggering costs of lost time and productivity waiting in airport lines for boarding passes, security clearance and parking shuttles, you realize that flying commercial airlines can be an expensive and wasteful endeavor. Charter air travel—no longer a luxury—is an essential business productivity tool. Chartered aircraft can make multiple stops, allowing key personnel to visit customers or hold meetings in multiple cities in one day.

There are 5,500 public airports in the United States suited for charter aircraft, compared to 330 commercial airports. Charter flights take passengers closer to their business destinations and gets them there sooner. Quality of life also improves when company personnel fly charter. They’re able to accomplish more while out of the office, and they can get back home to be with their families.

Flexibility improves dramatically because you decide when you depart and arrive rather than arranging your life around the airlines’ schedules. No connecting flights, no missed connections, no lost bags—just efficient, comfortable and secure travel.

FAQ's

1.  How far in advance do I need to plan a charter flight?
The whole point of chartered flight is traveling at your convenience. First Wing will be able to accommodate virtually any travel request, even with little advance notice.

2.  Does the cost of a charter flight change based on the number of passengers?
No. It is based on the destination(s), so it makes no difference how many people are on the flight. That can work to your advantage when several people need to attend a meeting. A chartered flight can actually be less expensive than sending several people on short notice on commercial airlines.
