The UK's Twinjet Aircraft has put together its accumulated 20 years of corporate charter expertise in its free Charter Survival Guide. The guide is principally, but not exclusively, aimed at first time charterers, and leads them through each step of the sometimes daunting process of chartering a business aircraft. Twinjet has recognized that in order for a company to respond rapidly to the demands of international commerce, it is now fundamental that senior management has, usually via PAs or executive secretaries, easy access to a reliable and comprehensive aircraft charter service.

The Charter Survival Guide aims to help the charterer make an informed choice, from selecting an aircraft broker or operator, choosing an aircraft and booking a charter to taking the flight itself. It examines the reasons why chartering an aircraft is a viable option for business travel instead of using commercial airlines, looks at the different roles of the aircraft operator and the charter broker and at the differences between them. The guide also provides a list of essential questions that charterers should ask their broker, and includes vital information that a good broker should provide the charterer.

Twinjet, based at London-Luton Airport, provides VIP aircraft for corporate charters, roadshows, product launches and private travel. It operates an Airbus Corporate Jetliner and a Challenger 604.
