Private Charters in Case of Unpredictable Acts of Nature

The volcano in Iceland with the name which is so hard to pronounce switched off flights in Europe and delayed many flights from other continents. Thousands of passengers were stuck in airports all over the Europe. Of course, private jet charters also had to postpone or delay their flights because of the weather conditions and the restrictions from the authorities. But still there was a chance to fly by turbo propeller jets and light general aviation planes. These types of small aircraft fly lower in comparison with the altitude of commercial planes in Europe. The ash was at the high altitude of where big jet planes fly and it didn`t influence small aircraft.

The airport in Zurich was forced to ban commercial flights during several days but at that time the authorities of the airport allowed the owners of light planes to take off and land at the airport without problem. Lots of aviation fans took the opportunity to use the airport as their base for flying. But the pilots didn`t get any enquires from passengers of the commercial airlines who were waiting at the airport for their flights. The possible reason for the low interest from the passengers – the reports in the media which said that airspace is closed, but which didn’t give a detailed elaboration of what planes really used the airports and what the different permissions for different aircraft were.

The air-taxi couldn`t carry a passenger for an extremely long distance, for example, to a different continent. But it can help with flights inside Europe. The route from Zurich to Paris could take around 2.5 hours. It will be more expensive than a train or a commercial flight but it will be a decision at a situation when the time costs more than a flight by private jet charter, and where uncertainty is a major problem for passengers. So the solution in the situation when there is a lack of the information – to call the charter broker and to check if there is a possibility to organize a flight.
