Martinair is one option when considering private jet travel.
We’ve all experienced the hassles of airport parking, the long lines, and the sometimes erratic schedules of the major carriers. Booking a charter flight offers flexibility and convenience, allowing you to fly on your schedule, direct to your destination, whenever you want.
Mike Mickel, president and CEO of Dominion Aviation in Richmond, explains that the schedule revolves completely around the customer. “Upon arrival at the airport, you drive right up to your aircraft at your desired time of departure, walk up the steps, and the trip begins,” he says. “Upon the completion of your trip, when you arrive back in Richmond, your car, which has been detailed inside and out by our ground staff, is waiting for you plane-side.”
“The times of chartered aircraft being for only the rock band or millionaire are long in the rearview!” says Robin Purcell of Martinair in Richmond. “Chartering a private flight is very approachable now and often times matches or tops airline rates.”
Plus, charter flights offer an entirely different level of comfort. “We focus on our passengers’ specific preferences so every trip is special, from the smallest aircraft in the fleet to the 12-passenger, luxury heavy jet with a flight hostess catering to you en route,” says Purcell.
“Once you have the experience, you will never want to fly anything but private,” says Mickel.
