DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Number of HNWIs and Corporate Travel to Propel Growth
The market is gaining momentum due to the annually increasing number of HNWIs worldwide, who dominate the demand for luxury chartered flights. Organizations also play a major role in market expansion by utilizing chartered jets for   cargo shipments   and business travel. Growing airport infrastructure development worldwide, with additional hangar space dedicated for private aircraft, further enhances opportunities for the market. Moreover, luxurious onboard experiences, customizable travel options, and reduced travel time are attracting more customers to charter jet services.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Affordability Barrier for Wider Adoption
The major challenge hindering the market is affordability. The current cost of chartering a jet ranges between   USD 1,823–4,254 per hour , restricting access primarily to the wealthy and corporate clients. However, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are working towards reducing costs by developing   fuel-efficient and ergonomically advanced aircraft , which could make charter flights accessible to a wider base in the future.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the charter jet industry with   lockdowns across more than 100 nations , reducing passenger and cargo movement. However, chartered jets gained attention as they proved crucial for   transporting medical equipment, patients, and essential personnel   while enabling socially distanced travel. Although the overall aviation industry faced a sharp downturn, the charter jet market found resilience by catering to emergency services and essential business travel during the crisis.
