The current situation in the world regarding COVID-19 has seen private aviation companies report an increase of 400% in queries and bookings being up by 20-25%. The massive explosion in the aforementioned sector can be attributed to travel restrictions and social distancing recommended by Health officials.

Currently Health Services around the globe recommend practicing social distancing, thus people turn to private jets to help them relocate elderly parents or travel freely without being subject to government-imposed bans on airlines.

With minimal risk of infection and ability to fly long distances, private aviation has proven to be a reliable choice among wide variety of people: ranging from typical work class to business people and government officials.
