If you’re an executive assistant, corporate travel planner, or executive tired of flight delays, long TSA lines, or commercial chaos eating into your productivity—you’re not alone. In 2025, private aviation is no longer a luxury reserved for celebrities. It’s a strategic move for time-conscious professionals who want to work smarter, not harder.
Commercial Travel Is Broken—Here’s What That Costs You
Let’s be honest—how often has your exec missed a meeting because their flight was delayed? Or worse, they spent three hours in an airport lounge with no updates and minimal Wi-Fi trying to finalize a client pitch?
In my former life as a corporate executive logging thousands of nights in hotels, I learned this: time is non-refundable. Every delay eats into productivity, client rapport, and even morale.
That’s why the best EAs and corporate planners I work with now are looking beyond business class—and choosing private.
Why More Executives Are Booking Private Flights in 2025
1. Time Is the New Luxury
When you’re flying private, you’re not at the mercy of airline schedules or gate changes. You fly on your schedule, straight to the airport nearest your meeting. No layovers. No missed connections. Just maximum efficiency.
And if plans change? No problem. Private aviation adapts in real time.
2. Privacy That Supports High-Stakes Business
Private cabins are perfect for C-level briefings, sensitive calls, or that mid-flight strategy session. No strangers. No eavesdropping. Just you, your team, and a quiet space to work or unwind.
3. Health and Safety First
Let’s not forget—COVID changed the way we view shared spaces. Private aviation offers a cleaner, more controlled travel environment. It’s about minimizing risk, maintaining control, and showing your exec you value their wellbeing.
📊 According to Sentinel Aviation, there’s been a 35% increase in executives switching to private flights since 2020—driven by safety, control, and productivity.
Private Aviation Isn’t Just for Billionaires Anymore
Here’s the part most people don’t know: private flying has gotten a lot more accessible. Tech and competition are leveling the runway.
Jet Memberships & On-Demand Booking
Companies like ONEflight International are changing the game with their BAJit platform—giving you access to thousands of private jets without owning one. You can book a flight like you’d book a hotel room—streamlined, on-demand, and cost-effective.
Wheels Up, FlyExclusive, and others offer similar models, but ONEflight’s user-friendly platform and global network make it a standout for corporate teams that value speed, reliability, and real-time updates.
Sustainable Aviation & Smarter Choices
Private aviation is also becoming more environmentally conscious. Many operators offer Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and carbon offset programs. This means you can fly smarter while still supporting your company’s ESG goals.
Competitive Pricing (Yes, Really)
Shared flights, empty-leg deals, and smarter tech have all contributed to a 20% drop in private aviation costs over the past five years (thanks, Studio 104). You don’t need a G650 budget to fly smarter anymore.
How to Incorporate Private Flights into Your Travel Strategy
Smart travel planners are blending private and commercial in what I call a “hybrid travel strategy.” Think private jet from a regional airport to a key meeting city, and a commercial return when the schedule allows.
Other key tips:
- Explore jet membership platforms like ONEflight International
- Request health and hygiene protocols upfront
- Use charter services with strong real-time support and transparent billing
