The world of air travel is rapidly evolving, and private aviation through LatitudeGo is leading the charge. More and more people are swapping commercial flights for the unparalleled peace of mind, time savings and convenience of private jets. But what is driving this trend? Passengers are tired of the endless hassles of commercial air travel, from long lines and lost time to unsafe environments and lost luggage.
According to Robb Report, in 2020 over 60 percent of private aviation clients were first-time private fliers who had left the commercial aviation space. This unprecedented level of growth changed private aviation from about 200,000 users at any given time to over 2 million regular users. The initial change was triggered by the pandemic. Fliers seeking safer, covid-free ways to travel turned to private charters with a reduced risk of infection and where individual needs could be met by simple request. Instead of being a seat number to a big corporation, these clients became VIPs to teams of professionals dedicated to their experience and personal care.
In a January 30 podcast episode of the National Business Aviation Association's "Flight Plan" series, host Rob Finfrock discussed the possibility of a downturn in private aviation, concluding that it's unlikely due to the addictive nature of the experience. It’s an experience like no other and one that sticks with your clients forever. On April 9, Private Jet Card Comparisons founder Doug Gollan published FAA predictions of continued commercial airline issues, including mass cancellations and delays, and that it would continue during the upcoming summer.
Consider this: How much commission are you making on commercial airline sales right now?
The response is typically little to none at all. LatitudeGo offers starting commissions on private flights from 2.5 percent all the way up to 4 percent. On an estimated average booking of $20,000, this comes to a potential of $800 per booking. And we’re offering opportunities for VAX Partner Agencies to boost that number even further. A Travel Advisor who takes up a specialty in luxury air travel could make a significant living with LatitudeGo while curating unforgettable experiences for their clients that will keep them coming back for more.
But what about the cost? Contrary to popular belief, private aviation can be more affordable than you think. Forbes reports that by taking advantage of empty leg flights, your clients can fly on private jets at a fraction of the cost of a traditional charter flight. And for larger groups, private aviation can actually be more cost effective than purchasing first-class tickets on a commercial airline, as noted by The Travel.
LatitudeGo has gone one step further and now offers industry first Pay Over Time options of up to $25,000 over 24 months per qualifying individual.
LatitudeGo offers the ultimate in flexibility, peace of mind, convenience and time-saving benefits to your clients.
