If you need to fly business-style but not very often, simple charter
may well be your best bet, says Tony Friend of Aircraft Shopper
Online. "The 'fraction of a fraction' programs such as Marquis,"
clients tell him, "are a very expensive way to provide transportation."
"While simple and convenient, it seems as though the users
of these programs are not adequately looking at the simple idea
of charter," Friend says. "Perhaps this is a market
opportunity waiting to re-surface for charter operators that have
their act together."
Friend chairs the industry trends committee of the Virginia-based
National Aircraft Resale Association
