With the tight economy and widespread news of corporate misconduct, misperceptions about corporate jet ownership and use are common. You know a business jet keeps your company competitive in your industry, but it’s still an investment you have to validate to stakeholders, the media, and employees. Even if your company already owns a jet, you need to be prepared to support the aircraft’s continued use in the event of executive turnover.
Be ready to answer a variety of questions about your corporate aircraft:
- Who will use the corporate jet?
- How much money and time will it save over commercial travel?
- Why is it essential?
A handy resource that highlights other common questions about business aviation is available at NBAA.org. The key to addressing all of these concerns is to be prepared with honest, well-documented answers.
