Coronavirus has affected the economy globally and it will change the rules as well the preferences. One of the mostly affected industries is aviation. It seems the expected normalization will last until 2022. It is another argument if the expected normalization will be the same with the normal we used to live.
Would it be possible to travel with a bunch of people together in one plane ? Would it be possible to sit that close to each other ?
Even if this would possible, are people going to prefer these options ? It is clear that, after the financial crisis of the airways companies and the compulsory changes of the services caused by the pandemic, the ticket prices most probably will go up. Low-cost airlines will lose their competitiveness after the decrease of the sold seats in one flight.
We predict there will be a rise and demand on private jet services. Innovation and flexibility are the way to be followed by the private jet industry. The companies of the sector should be prepared for sudden changes and high demands coming from their clients as well as the necessary preparations for safer travels after the pandemic coronavirus.
Because of the rising volume, the number of the private jets will grow. It will also affect the number of the private jet charter companies positively.
People will be looking for more privacy and safeness. Socialization will be limited. Tailor-made requirements will rise. Hygiene and clarity will take place at top priority.
Mostly at the corporate side, it is another option that the companies prefer to buy their own private jets, maybe with a cooperation with their sister companies. But at the same time they will need another department to manage it, for non 7/24 fliers, it seems like to work with a trusty private jet charter company. They will save the costs (operational costs of the ownership), gain the timing advantage (less delay and time flexibility for departure), have a safer option in privacy. Business people can carry out their meetings during the flight as well.
A new adventure is waiting for the plane constructors, because of the new interior design needs, and for the private jet charter companies because of the higher demand with more bespoke service expectations.
