Why Celebrities Prefer Private Jets
Celebrities enjoy traveling on private jets not only because of the obvious benefits of luxury but the business sense it makes. All celebrities are ultimately business people making their living from their fame. Private aviation assist in propelling both their bottom lime and fame.
One benefit private aircraft give celebrities is to increase the mystique of a jet set lifestyle. In modern days there are few luxuries that are elite. Most people can have access to first class, the latest designers, and large homes by simply having enough money. But private jets are out of reach for even the richest. Typically, even celebrities have studios fly them to locations on their aircraft. People don’t care who paid for the trip, they unknowingly care that their favorite celebrity is someone “other.”
There is the intrinsic benefit of privacy in private airplanes. Escaping paparazzi in celebrity rich areas like LAX or from prolific amateurs photographers with camera phones in any major airports is a plus to a celebrity. However, from a business perspective it provides an opportunity for communication in transit without anyone trying to listen in. Additionally, it allows one to bring another along without everyone knowing who was traveling along.
Time is precious to everyone. Traveling on a private aircraft frees up a lot of time. No one has to get to the airport hours early and the aircraft only leaves when its passengers are ready. So, rather than having to schedule around a flight, the jet schedules around the passengers. When the celebrity decides to arrive the aircraft leaves, no waiting and no hurrying.
Finally, there is security. A private plane is one the securest ways to travel, something very important to high profile individuals. A concern for us all, but celebrities make even more desirable targets. The celebs can take only the passengers they desire or fly as the sole passenger. Plus, they can take on board what they want without the security hassles of commercial travel.
