The business jet operator GlobeAir has reported a 67 percent increase in newly acquired passengers since the beginning of the corona pandemic. It is said to be predominantly travelers who previously flew on the line in business class.
Another new feature is that the Upper Austrian company is also increasingly receiving inquiries from travel agencies and major tour operators. Specifically, Tui and Kuoni are mentioned in a broadcast, which are increasingly offering their premium trips with business jet flights. According to GlobeAir, the corona pandemic has led to change, because previously a private flight was considered a luxury. The decision for the business jet is often made in order to be less exposed to potential contagion points.
According to the carrier, travel agencies and tour operators are reacting to this customer request and are increasingly selling travel packages that contain flight segments with business jets. Together they want to enable travelers to have safe flights and holidays.
"We are working with Europe's leading private jet charter company, GlobeAir, to give our customers the opportunity to travel safely in times of uncertainty. Our exclusive all-in-one travel solutions include private jet transfers and matching hotels or secluded villas in prime locations such as Saint-Tropez, Monaco or Porto Cervo. We have only just started offering such packages and we are very pleased with the public's response," says Harald Schobesberger, CEO of urlaubswelt.com.
