About Air Charters

Jonathan Blocker asked:


Busy business executives often have to travel in order to conduct business, and one of the best ways to do that is to use an executive jet. Perhaps yours is a global company with clients located worldwide, and commercial flights leave you far from where you need to be for business meetings. This is when a private jet charter will meet your needs much more satisfactorily than a commercial flight will.

Commercial flights have only 500 airports worldwide into which they can fly. What this means, if you must fly into a remote location, is that you will need to take a commercial flight to the nearest airport, and then be stuck with having to make your way to your final destination on your own, whether by car or train or whatever means necessary. When you use the services of a private rental jet, however, you will have access to over 5,000 airports world wide. This means that you can get closer to your final destination than by utilizing a commercial air flight.

This can help you save money as well, because to reach a remote destination using a commercial plane often means you will have several airline transfers to make, and all of those plane changes cost you money. Not so with a private charter jet. Because we have access to ten times the number of airports than do commercial planes, we can make sure to help you reach your final travel destination with the fewest stops possible, thereby saving you both time and money.

We offer access to so many more destination spots than commercial flights can because we are able, in addition to using commercial airports, to also use private airports for our clients’ travel needs. Your safety is our top priority, and we prove that by following the stringent requirements set up by ARG/US, the National Air Transportation Association and NATA First, as well as Wyvern Aviation Safety Intelligence in regards to not only the maintenance of our aircraft and the flight crew, but also the airport facilities and runway length. Per safety guidelines, all of the runways we use must be at least 5,000 feet long. Also, FAA certification is required of each airport for each particular aircraft we use, so that you can rest assured that your safety has been under top consideration from before you fly, while you are in-flight, and after you deboard from one of our air corporate charters.

No matter where you wish to fly, be it New York, Tokyo, Dubai, Moscow, Los Angeles, London, or any point in between, our corporate charter jets can get you where you need to go in the shortest time possible and in the most convenient manner.

Devon charter school sues parents
By Martha Woodall

Inquirer Staff Writer

Several parents at the Agora Cyber Charter School in Devon who asked questions about the school’s finances have been sued by the founder and her management company.
Dorothy June Brown contends that the parents and the Agora Parent Organization defamed her and Cynwyd Group L.L.C. in complaints sent to the state Department of Education and in e-mails circulated to other parents at the statewide cyber school.

The parents say they were just trying to get answers about the relationship between Cynwyd Group and Agora. The cyber school rents its headquarters from Cynwyd under a nine-year lease and pays the firm a management fee of at least 4 percent, according to a services agreement. Brown owns Cynwyd and serves as its senior consultant to Agora, according to school and state records.

The civil suit Brown filed in Montgomery County Court on Jan. 21 alleges that the parents made misleading statements that give the clear but false impression that Dr. Brown is corrupt, incompetent and possibly criminal.

The suit also says the parents’ association sought to interfere with Cynwyd’s contractual relationship with Agora by spreading untruths about Dr. Brown and by implying that she had improperly used public funds.

Brown and Cynwyd are seeking more than $150,000 in damages for libel, slander and civil conspiracy.

The allegations are false, Gladys Stefany of Milton, Pike County, said in an e-mail yesterday. She said she learned about the suit last Tuesday when she was served with papers.

‘Civil conspiracy’
When did asking for information that is or should be public information become ‘civil conspiracy?’ asked Stefany, who has a 15-year-old daughter enrolled in Agora and is president of the parents’ organization.
It is sad that it has come to this, but I’m happy we’ll finally have the opportunity to air our case in the open and get answers to our questions.

Stefany said the questions did not involve the school’s academic program. She said she was more than satisfied with the instruction her special-needs daughter has received.

News of the suit left several lawyers and education officials scratching their heads.

I haven’t heard of a case of this sort in recent memory, Len Reiser, co-director of the Education Law Center in Center City, said yesterday.

Lawyers from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association agreed.

SLAPP suit?
Angelique Smith of Aston and her husband, Ira, are among the six parents named in the complaint. She said she believed the case amounted to what is known as a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) and was meant to intimidate and silence critics.
This is really about freedom of speech and freedom of association, Smith said. This is akin to going to a regular public school and telling the PTA to get out.

Brown referred all questions about the suit to her attorney, Wendy Beetlestone. Beetlestone said it was a defamation case and not a SLAPP suit.

In any kind of public discussion, you have to make sure that what you say is true and doesn’t bring down the reputation of the person you’re talking about, Beetlestone said.

She said parents had failed to respond to requests to stop spreading information that she said defamed Brown.

June Brown is a highly respected and innovative educator and has been for many years, Beetlestone said. When the debate turns to making false statements and doing everything they can to bring her down, she is left with no other option. That’s what this lawsuit is about.

Brown is the founder of three traditional charter schools in Philadelphia. In 2005, she and Brien N. Gardiner, founder of the Philadelphia Academy Charter School in Northeast Philadelphia, co-founded Agora to provide online home instruction to students across the state.

The school Web site listed Gardiner as a co-founder, but his name was removed in May after he became the subject of a federal criminal investigation at Philadelphia Academy and was fired from his consulting position at the charter.

The lawsuit against the parents claims Gardiner had no role in founding Agora and his name does not appear in Agora’s application for a charter or in subsequent organizational documents.

Brown’s lawsuit also charges that Agora parents tried to imply that she was guilty of some financial wrongdoing on the basis of her association with Gardiner.

Records show that Brown and Gardiner did business together. In 2005, they established Cynwyd Group as an educational management company, state records show.

In November 2007, the company paid $1.9 million to buy a property at 60 Chestnut Ave., Tredyffrin, that houses the Agora headquarters. The relationship between Gardiner and Brown was severed in May 2008.

Gardiner and others were removed from Philadelphia Academy in May. An int

Choosing the most valuable way to travel by private jet can be quite confusing to even the most seasoned travelers. How do you choose between traditional aircraft charter, fractional ownership and block time agreements (also known as “jet cards”)? You want the best value for your individual needs; so, where do you begin?

In most cases, traditional charter will prove most economical. Occasionally, block time agreements may be the best option. Fractional ownership tends to be the best option for the fractional companies, not the customer! When you consider the initial investment of the purchase of your share, and the fees that accompany it, you will find that it is simply an expensive bragging right.

Initial investments for fractional ownership begin at around $100,000. Other expenses include monthly management fees, reduced hourly flight charges, fuel surcharges, maintenance expenses, insurance, crew costs, and depending on your destinations- additional airport fees. The question to ask yourself is, “are the additional charges you are paying reasonable?”

Do you have access to maintenance bills and crew expenses? Are you only paying your share? When the fractional company sells the aircraft, at the end of your contract, are you comfortable with the small percentage of your initial investment that you will recoup? When you do the math associated with fractional ownership, do you feel confident in this option as a choice for private travel?

Block time agreements are a reasonable option for one-way itineraries. Traditional charter requires two hour daily minimums when the overall flight time is less than an average of 2 hours per day. By being dropped off and picked up you can avoid minimums and benefit from the one way pricing that these agreements offer. The pricing represents an inflated hourly rate and therefore is quite expensive for round trips. Another down side is that thin a 12-month period. With some block time agreements, if you don’t utilize those hours within the allocated time, you forfeit the money that you have spent!

 

Charter allows the flexibility of choosing the best aircraft on a trip by trip basis. It is almost always more economical than being tied to a specific aircraft that doesn’t work for every itinerary. By utilizing the services of an air charter broker, you benefit from the knowledge of an experienced charter coordinator who examines the independent audits of safety auditing firms, negotiates costs involved with your charter, researches the qualifications and experience of crew and maintains a worldwide network of thousands of aircraft available for charter.

In many cases, we’ve help our clients find a happy medium that incorporates both a block time agreement and traditional charter.

rate, tell me how to improve, etc.

I woke up this mourning mad, like where’s my microphone?
I usually keep it next to my computer where I type my poems
Started getting scared and a little nervous, when I heard the phone (ring ring)
I picked it up it said sorry out of service and it made me groan
Ahh, what’s wrong with head, then I fell back and laid on my bed
My radio turned itself on to a low playing instrumental
It was slow at first then a voice said, say away from that pencil
How did it know I was set to write a sick rhyme?
I jumped up grabbed my keys and jet out the room in quick time
Sloppy dress and very stressed, I felt like the main charter in a movie do
I turned around and in my chest was Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby doo
They said watch out for the ghost I think he’s close over there
I saw the creature but then they both vanished into air
Along with the background, I was in a white screen
I closed my eyes tight, then woke up it was all a dream
all rappers or at least most have there rhyme scheme set like that aa bb cc dd etc. if you look up any of your favorite rappers lyrics on the internet there is a 90 percent chance it will have that scheme or very close

It’s been almost a year or so, since someone posted a travel question here at Y!A Israel.

It seems that there’s a change of plans here at home and I might be visiting Israel very soon.
There are some big efforts from the European community to revive the Israelian tourism by offering cheap flights to The Hague next Spring.
Since there’s going to be a very large crowd wanting to travel to Hague, I think I might start arranging my trip early.

I just wanna be there when all of them Jewish celebs will start rushing in.
I am not interested in any of them cheap-no-name charter flights.
I have no problem paying business class air fare, although I aint rich or anything.
Thanks for your time

When you are a busy business executive, you tend to spend a lot of time traveling. Perhaps you need a face-to-face meeting with an important client to close a big deal. Regardless of the reasons, your time is better spent working rather than getting mired in the details of travel, which is why you opt to use a charter jet whenever feasible. People like jet charter because of the convenience, comfort, time savings and safety this method of travel offers the executive.

Renting a jet is convenient for a businessperson. All you need to do is make one phone call, and you can have a personal concierge deal with reserving the flight, all the details concerning your requirements before boarding, while in flight, and deboarding, so that all aspects of your trip will receive the attention they deserve and nothing will be left to chance.

Your comfort is a high priority when it comes to chartering a flight. You can select any five-star cuisine that you prefer, and it will be ready when you are. If you have particular dietary requirements for any reason, those requests will be honored in style. Religious reasons for food choices can also be accommodated with ease. Your preferences for exactly the liquors you enjoy can be ready and waiting for you when you choose to charter a jet. Perhaps you wish to be ready for a big meeting at the end of your flight, and what you need to do is relax while traveling. You could have a massage, or get your hair done all in the comfort of your own private jet.

One big reason busy executives choose air charter flights is due to the amount of time they can save compared with taking a commercial flight. Let’s face it, by the time you arrive at the airport and find a parking spot, then travel up to the terminal, wait in lines for security clearance and checking in, you’ve wasted several hours before you even get on the commercial plane and take the flight. Flight charters remove all these hassles. You arrive, and your personal flight attendant escorts you to your personal plane. That’s how easy it is.

Another important reason why using a charter air jet makes sense is safety. When you are flying on a private jet, you fly with whom you want. All personnel, both in-flight and on the ground, have been screened by the strictest standards. As well, all aircraft ready at your disposal have been approved by the stringent guidelines set by ARG/US, Wyvern, NATA and NATA First, to ensure your protection. These compelling reasons, as well as many others, are why charter jet flights are so popular.

Max Stephen asked:


Though private air charter services are used extensively by business and luxury class, still the aviation through air charters is unfamiliar to many people around the globe. Air charter services are best suited to executive business travel and personal vacations, as private air charters eliminates many time-consuming formalities but still provide extra features that are to be found no where else.

It should be noticed that private air charters do not lack any facility from the conventional airlines, and air charter service providers make it dead-sure that the best facilities are offered to their customers, including, catering, food, ground facilities, and return services, etc. Let us have a detailed peep into the advantages that private air charters offer to us.

The very first advantage that almost anybody can notice in hiring the private air charters is the freedom of scheduling. Unlike conventional airlines, private air charters provide full freedom to choose the schedule of the flight. There is absolutely no limit, as most of air charter service providers have it open for seven days a week and for 24 hours a day. There are no chances of missing the flight, as it is you who have set the time of the flight, and you can alter it also, if you need to! Most importantly, there is no chance that a flight is delayed. Private air charters are singularly for your service, and they wait for your arrival before the take off!

Private air charters also provide better options for the choice of airport. This ultimately saves a lot of time in traveling through car and ground transportation. Most of the scheduled airports are crowded, but with the facility of air charter services, you can have your own preference for the airport.

Security and privacy are two other issues that are solved meticulously with air charter services. Luggage loss is a major problem in scheduled aviation, but with private air charters, you are free of such issues. If you are traveling with your office colleagues and want to discuss some plans, or want to practice for the seminar or a presentation, you have the luxury of utmost privacy and you can enjoy it to the fullest extent. If you are taking some time off from your busy life, and are traveling with your family members; traveling with private air charters would be the most stress free, enjoyable and relaxing way to travel!

No wonder that with so many options and facilities, air charter services are attracting the eyes of big organizations or corporate giants, but it still remains a quandary as why general public is not motivated by these facilities. Cost is the major factor, but those who know what they are paying for, understand that air charter services are worth their weight in gold!
