Avoiding commercial air travel has become more common place in recent years with travelers having a greater concern for their personal health and safety.
More and more travelers are turning to chartering private jets for their air travel needs.
Since 9/11, security has become an important issue with flyers around the globe.
Precautions are in place at airports world-wide to make sure the unthinkable doesn't happen again.
This has caused a tremendous slowdown in commercial airline boarding, which has helped to make chartering more popular among air travelers.
Swine flu outbreaks and other pandemic threats have also brought the idea of renting a private jet to the forefront of people's minds when they are getting ready to plan their air travel.

  Regardless of who flies with you, they will not be strangers, but people hand-picked by you.
