THERE has been a close to a 50% jump in the number of Aussie travellers opting to board private jets in Mar this year, figures from the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics reveal.
The report showed that 310,600 passengers travelled on private jets and charter flights for the month, a sizable jump on the same period pre-pandemic, which was just 210,800 people.
Private air travel now accounts for close to 8% of all domestic air traffic in Australia, with some industry experts suggesting the trend is here to stay, as travellers who are able to afford private options pivoted away from commercial airlines during the shutdown, and have now built up a solid travel routine.
