Large business jets are those purposely designed for private or business travel, while heavy jets are converted commercial airliners.

These aircraft offer the same levels of comfort and convenience as a very light jet and are becoming licensed by more and more CAAs. Lower operating costs and fuel economy make SETs an increasingly attractive option for some missions.

In order to make the most of the convenience of private air travel you may wish to purchase or charter a helicopter to join-up your journey embarkation and end points, in particular if you are connecting with a yacht. Many larger vessels are actually equipped with a helipad facility so you can land right on board. Of course there are many different types of helicopters and as with fixed-wing, we can advise on the suitability of each for your needs.

Given our positioning where sea meets sky, you won’t be surprised if we include this category. Taking off or landing without a runway has long been an aviation option beginning during the ‘golden age’ of record-breaking flights and the 1930s era when air travel with style and luxury was first offered by the Clipper flying boat passenger services. Seaplanes enable remote island-hopping without the need for an airstrip and give you the ability to truly reach nature’s untouched and unique places quickly and easily, without causing environmental harm. These aircraft can also take you quickly back to the nearest civilization if required during your cruise or vacation.
