Using private jets for business travel can reap many rewards for your company, either financially or interpersonally, that may otherwise be tricky to attain. Though digital innovation has given us every mode of communication at our fingertips, nothing beats face-to-face interaction.
That means if a client, partner or stakeholder isn’t easily reached by a scheduled flight your next best option may be to use a private jet to fly to your upcoming meeting instead. The added personal touch won’t go unnoticed, nor will your dedication to your business endeavours.
Aside from the corporate kudos, flying private can add ease, convenience and security to your working life. And according to recent figures, there’s been a resurgence in travellers opting for this mode of transport, with private flights now surpassing pre-pandemic levels by 32.1%.

Flexible flight schedules
If you’re an executive travelling for business, you’re likely short on time and unable to spend hours searching flight timetables that align with your schedule. Flying private gives you the option to find flights that suit your availability, instead of you having to make yourself available to accommodate fixed commercial flights.
Time efficiency
The amount of time you save by choosing private jets for business travel cannot be underestimated, and when we say it’s quicker to fly private, we mean it literally. While commercial airliners typically cruise between 550 and 600 miles per hour, the fastest private jets can reach up to 700 miles per hour. And when you eliminate the things that make flying commercial so cumbersome — like queues, delays and treks to faraway terminals — you’d be surprised at how much time you can shave off your journey.
Speedy departures
Private jet departures are a far cry from the lengthy airport processes you’ve likely grown accustomed to. Instead of being herded through security and having to wait around for boarding to be completed, you can breeze through all of the necessary safety and passport checks in a matter of minutes. It cuts out the need to show up hours in advance as private jet companies generally allow you to show up 15 - 30 minutes before your flight’s scheduled departure.
Shorter journeys
Private jets can self-govern in a way that commercial airlines can’t, and they aren't confined to rigid flight routes that can prolong travel time. Instead, private jets can plan shorter direct routes, as they fly at higher altitudes to bypass crowded flight paths. Business travellers can therefore choose from a wider option of flights to their chosen destination. With Mirai Flights, it’s quick and simple to make a booking. We owe this to our user-friendly app which can recommend hundreds of flights at the touch of a button.
Access hard-to-reach places
If you need to reach a destination that’s a little more obscure, private jets give you the flexibility to choose exactly where you want to be. In Europe, for example, there are around 8,200 airports used by private jets, meaning you can fly to smaller airports closer to your preferred location.
Prioritise productivity
Speaking of which, the hassle-free ethos synonymous with flying private creates an environment which allows you to capitalise on your productivity. After a swift and straightforward departure, you can look forward to boarding a peaceful and cosy jet that’s free from distractions and inconveniences. It’s ideal for when you need to blitz through last minute tasks or tick a few items off your to-do list.
Maintain your privacy
Whether you’re travelling solo or with a small group of colleagues, the privacy you’re afforded when flying private is unmatched. Think of your cabin as an office in the sky. Without the prying eyes of other passengers, you can feel comfortable opening up your laptop and getting on with your work. There’s a much lower chance of an inadvertent security breach, and no risk of prying eyes catching a glimpse of sensitive data on your screen or in your files. Private business matters can also be discussed openly if need be.
