Business travel is bouncing back, but many companies are reconsidering the ways in which their employees travel. For many, going back to commercial airlines and long road trips are being upgraded to private corporate shuttles. And given the conditions of the last 18 months, it’s easy to see why: private jet charters are more reliable, more personalized, and provide a safer, cleaner experience all around.
As companies reinvent their business travel strategies, Access Jet Group has seen a noticeable uptick in the number of businesses turning to private jet charter. Here’s a closer look at some of the top motivating factors for choosing a corporate shuttle:
Fluid Accommodations for Evolving Travel Needs
Throughout the pandemic last year, many businesses in the hospitality and travel industries relaxed their rigid cancellation policies in favor of more forgiving accommodations. Consumers were surprised and delighted at the fact that they could change their travel plans without fear of inflexible cancellations in the event they were to become ill prior to traveling.
While this has certainly been a step in the right direction, it’s a service that private jet charter brokers and operators have offered for years. Because every flight is tailored to the individual, flights can often be made or changed on short notice, depending on availability. This offers reassurance to companies that may need to adjust their plans if an employee were to become ill prior to the trip or meetings were to get rescheduled because of COVID.
Time-Saving Benefits to Augment Productivity
Bespoke corporate shuttles offer a number of benefits to boost productivity. For starters, you get to set your own itineraries and not be locked into the preset timetables of commercial airlines. Fly at your convenience when it works best for you so you maximize your time on the ground and in the air.
In addition, private jet charters have access to thousands of more airports than commercial airlines. This is because smaller runways simply cannot accommodate larger aircraft and the volume of passengers they carry. But small aircraft for individuals or limited groups can easily travel through smaller airports, allowing you to get closer to your final destination and spend less time traveling.
With smaller airports come smaller terminals and shorter security lines. Your team can move through the line faster and directly board the plane. Time spent in the airport is minimal compared to a commercial experience, allowing you more time to focus on the work that matters most.
Reduced Complexity in Scheduling
During the pandemic, many airlines canceled flights and grounded their aircraft due to a lack of demand and an ongoing staffing shortage. For passengers that still needed to travel, though, finding available flights was a difficult task, especially for international travel.
Private jets take the hassle out of getting to your final destination by offering direct flights. What’s more, our on-ground concierge team is connected with more than 7,000 aircraft, allowing us to select an operator that fits within your budget and can accommodate your timeline.
Our goal is to present you with several options so you can select the best one for your current needs. We have the depth of experience to handle even the most complex itineraries, including multi-city and multi-passenger trips. We handle all of the scheduling on your behalf — simply share your travel dates and times and we take care of the rest.

Every client at Access Jet Group receives a dedicated concierge, available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We offer unlimited support to answer your questions, accommodate your needs, and help you feel confident in your travels.

Heightened COVID-19 Safety Protocols
Perhaps most importantly when it comes to traveling for business in the current climate, private corporate shuttles offer a higher level of COVID safety. COVID continues to be a concern for companies, individuals, and our team here at Access Jet Group, and we take our commitment to your safety very seriously.
In addition to keeping you physically safe for the duration of your flight, we also aim to protect your health. We do this by offering heightened health and safety protocols on every flight, including thorough sanitization of each aircraft, temperature checks for passengers and crew, and availability of PPE.
Our goal is to create an environment where every passenger can relax, feel safe and secure, and enjoy the flight. Traveling during the pandemic can be stressful enough, so let our private charter experts shoulder the burden and give you a better way to fly.
