Private Jet Travel in Asia

As legend has it, human flight in Asia dates back more than one millennium. In 559 AD, as the story goes, several prisoners in what is now China were forced to jump off a tower attached to a kite; only one survived (to be executed later). Late in the 14th century, Chinese official Wan Hu supposedly flew for a short time in a chair powered by 47 rockets, his flight ending in a fatal explosion. Between 1630 to 1633, Ottoman inventor Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi and his brother, Lagâri Hasan Çelebi, are reputed to have flown via (respectively) glider and crewed rocket.

Cargo Charter: Moving (Stuff) Right Along

When discussing charter aviation, people are typically the main focus. Whether they want to see a significant other play in the Super Bowl, jaunt to the Caribbean to escape from the snow, or spend some quality time as a family, living passengers serve as the face of private jet travel. However, people aren’t the only entities moving by air. According to the International Air Transport Association, more than $8 trillion in goods are transported by air each year, making up about one-third of all world trade. While ships and trucks definitely play a role in getting cargo from origin to destination, delivery by air makes a just-in-time global economy possible.

They’re typically looking to fly at times and to places that can be tricky to mesh with “scheduled service” air travel – i.e., commercial airlines traveling at set times from set places.
