New Flight Charters releases jet charter spending analysis

Wyoming-based New Flight Charters celebrates its 11th anniversary in 2015 and has been named in the Inc. 500 fastest growing list for four consecutive years. The company has also reported its 2014 trends in private flight activity, aircraft selection and charter booking, based on more than 750 US domestic and international charter flights it has arranged.

Average charter spending increased 15% over 2013, from an overall average $14,841 per charter to $17,068. This average includes all charter activity and aircraft types, from piston aircraft through heavy and long-range private jets. The increase is due in large part to a movement in charter demand from smaller aircraft to larger, namely into midsize and heavy jets. Midsize jet activity increased by nearly 20% and heavy jet activity nearly doubled. Meanwhile light jet and turboprop charters declined by around 10% and 26% respectively.

New Flight Charters' results mirror TraqPak data released by aviation services company ARGUS, which reported Part 135 flight activity gains over 2013, including an increase in large-cabin and midsize jet flying, while turboprop flying finished the year down.

The overall most popular aircraft was the Citation 510/550/
560 series, followed by the Hawker 400XP. The Hawker 800A/800XP is by far the most popular of all their midsize jet charters and the Challenger series 300/601/604 was the heavy jet favourite.

In Colorado the company is giving back to the community through its successful support programme. New Flight Charters has given many thousands of dollars in resources and hundreds of hours in hands-on service to select local charity and nonprofit organisations each year to further a programme goal of helping build strong, healthy and safe communities. They particularly concentrate on the young, as president Rick Colson explains: “Youth are a hub and a moving influence in a community. In a large way they are the future of that community. What better way to make an impact there now and in the future.”
