Private jet or, colloquially, bizjet is a term describing a jet aircraft, usually of smaller size, designed for transporting groups of up to 19 business people or wealthy individuals. Business jets may be adapted for other roles, such as the evacuation of casualties or express parcel deliveries, and a few may be used by public bodies, governments or the armed forces. The more formal terms of corporate jet, executive jet, VIP transport or business jet tend to be used by the firms that build, sell, buy and charter these aircraft.
Suprisingly, to me anyway, private jet charter companies are amongst the few doing well for themselves in this period of financial austerity. Mostly because the rich will always be rich and will always be able to afford luxuries. But also because they're looking to increase 'productivity' by filling their empty seats on every leg ensuring they're flying full whenever they fly.
