Like many luxuries that may seem too good to be true, private jet travel can generate a confusing mix of fact and fiction. Facts are easier to prove true, but here are some common myths and misconceptions which should not discourage you from investing in private jet travel, for they are false:

Myth #1: You need to pay a premium in order to fly on premium, safety-rated aircraft. False.

evoJets already uses third-party safety auditors ARG/US and Wyvern to certify all aircraft and crew prior to customer purchases.

Myth #2: Jet owners have greater flexibility than charter fliers. False.

With charter you can have the freedom to fly however, whenever, and wherever you want. Mix and match commercial and private jet travel when needed, fly the right plane for every trip, and enjoy significant savings with empty leg opportunities.

Myth #3: You need to pay a premium for guaranteed availability. False.

All fractional and jet card companies have more clients than they do planes and rely on charter to provide “guaranteed availability.”

Myth #4: You need to ask for empty-leg pricing in order to get it. False.

evoJets’ first course of action for all one-way trips is to source out any and all empty legs, cutting costs for charter companies and passengers alike.

Myth #5: Larger companies use different aircraft than smaller ones. False.

evoJets will work with your travel needs to find you the best jet for your trip, no matter the size of the company.

Myth #6: Fractional aircraft ownership costs less in the long run than charter. False.

Fractional ownership programs may require long term contracts or upfront purchases, which can become unnecessarily costly if you are unable to use the aircraft as planned or other complications occur. With private charter, you only pay for flights when you need them.

Myth #7: Chartering a jet is only beneficial for business travel. False.

Private jet charters generally offer greater comfort, privacy, convenience, and personal customer service than a typical commercial flight, no matter what your reason for traveling. And wherever you may be headed, you will likely also be able to bypass many agonizing long lines at the airport.

The private jet market has expanded greatly in recent years to include a wide variety of brands and styles. It may be difficult to choose an appropriate aircraft for your diverse business and vacation travel needs. One tried and true series you may want to consider is the family of midsize Cessna Citation jets.

These aircraft have been in use as far back as 1980 and continue to perform quite well today. The midsize portion of this series includes the Citation III, Citation VI, Citation VII, Citation X, Citation Excel/XLS, Citation Sovereign, and the CJ4.

Groups with as many as twelve passengers can travel together in the largest of these jets, to destinations ranging from 2100 to 3500 miles away. The slowest of them –the CJ4—can zip by at 500 mph, while the fastest—the Citation X—trumps that pace by over 100 mph, making for a breathtaking speed of at least 600 mph.

The cabin dimensions, except that of length, are about the same for each of these aircraft –5 ft. 7 in. high by 5 ft. 5 in. wide. The CJ4 is slightly smaller, about 4 ft. 9 in. by 4 ft. 10 in. In length, they vary from 17 ft. 4 in. on the CJ4 up to 25 ft. 3 in. on the Sovereign, which generates extra space for passengers or gear. As for baggage capacity, these aircraft offer anywhere from 60 cubic feet at the smallest up to 135 cubic feet on the Citation Sovereign.

While it is unlikely that just one of these jets can solve all your private aviation travel needs, perhaps some of the specifications mentioned sound like they may match up to one of your upcoming trips. Try taking a closer look by clicking on the “Mid Size Jets” link under the evoJets “Aircraft” drop-down menu to see if a Cessna Citation jet may be right for your next private flight.

So what’s the most important part of flying a charter to Aspen: the security of the aircraft, the shorter wait time in the airport, the privacy of flying a non-commercial flight? The food of course! Of course safety and security are important, but what separates charter travel from other types of airline travel is the quality of dining services, and evoJets is no exception. Our services eclipse the top-flight service found in commercial first class.
Like other elements of charter plane travel, the menu during your charter flight is adaptable to your needs. The evoJets chef has one the Silver Fork award and will either provide a number of culinary delicacies of his own choosing, or you can request a custom menu. Overall, this is one of the nicer features of private travel – it makes a plane flight go quickly. Really, it’s a fun way to fly – and if you’re flying to Aspen to enjoy the slopes, why not make your travel to Aspen a complete tourist experience – both on the ground and in the air.
To this end, we can also help with transportation to and from the airport as well. Our aim is to make your travel to and from Aspen as seamless and comfortable as possible. When you consider how much a five star meal costs in an on-the-ground restaurant, our designer catering services is actually a bargain – as you’ll be dining on gourmet food thousands of feet in the air! But the quality of the food is only as good as the quality of the chef, and we are confident that our culinary services rivals and exceeds the dining options of other charter services.
