There are many reasons to use charter aircraft. It may sound expensive at first, but can be an excellent business decision.
Chartering an aircraft enables you to depart and arrive when you desire at an airport of your choice, while avoiding the stress of long security lines and having to adhere to the airlines time schedules instead of yours.
Depending on the number of passengers, the actual cost of chartering can be comparable to the cost of scheduled commercial flights.
Following are some of the reasons that charteri
ng makes good sense:
Safety
It is the highest priority on every Special Services flight.  There are strict FAA regulations governing the air charter industry, and the passenger’s safety is ultimate goal.
Time Savings
This is one of the most significant reasons for using charter aircraft. Â Depending upon your schedule, you may have an aircraft available when you wish to depart. You may arrive at the airport just minutes before departure, fly directly to your destination with no layovers, make productive use of the flight time, and avoid overnight stays. Â You will also save time after your arrival by landing at any of the more than 5,000 airports, some of which may be close to your final destination.
Privacy​
During your flight, you have the security and privacy of the aircraft to conduct any meeting or discussions.
Convenience​
In the summer of 2006, ​a ban was implemented on liquids, sports gear, various instruments, etc., causing inconveniences for airline travelers. Most of these restrictions do not apply on Charter flights. There are no lines, no TSA searches, no lost luggage and no luggage fees.
Flexibility​
Charter aircraft can be available on short notice or wait for you if you are running late. It is also possible to change your destination in flight to accommodate your needs. Â Food and beverages are catered to accommodate your requirements.
Reliability​
Special Services is one of the most respected and reliable air charter operators and have more than 50 years of accident free service to our clients. Â Our employees work hard to provide our customers with the safest and best service possible.
Hi,
Do you provide flights from Nashville, Tennessee, or if you do not, from any other city in Tennessee? And if so, do you go all the way to Sweden?
Additionally, you say that there are no TSA searches, but does that also mean that with your services, you can fly without getting exposed to those new, horrible so called “pat-downs”, of the TSA, as well as that you do note have to pass through any of those nude scanners?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, we can provide flights from Nashville, or anywhere in Tennessee. We are not able to go all the way to Sweden but have connections with other operators that do, if that is something you want to look into.
We do not have scanners for passengers to walk through, nor is it required. For security, we are required to compare your name against the TSA’s “no fly list” and check your identification when you arrive for your flight. There are probably a handful of airports across the country whose airport authority requires even the FBO’s to have some sort of a scanner but this is very rare and not the kind you are referring to. It has been probably 8 years since I flew in and out of such an airport.
Private aviation is a very hassle-free, convenient way to travel. You will not be receiving any “pat-down” from us 🙂
