Popular Island Destinations for Private Jet Travelers

As airports become more crowded and flight delays more frequent, the world is increasingly turning to private jets as their travel method of choice. Not only is it more comfortable and convenient, but it allows travelers to save on the most valuable commodity of all: time. As our research has shown, flying private can save over 86% of your time, compared to commercial air travel.

According to Avian Jets CEO Philip Nijnens, private jet travel across the world is on the rise, with data showing a 10% increase over the past year.

Private jets are especially popular for short flights to islands located within a few hours of business hubs. These puddle jumps can be performed by small, cost-efficient aircraft such as our Avian Jets’ Air Taxi fleet or turbo props. Popular destinations include Mallorca, the Bahamas, and the Philippines.
