Some Clarity
Grecian
Just to clarify. There are NO owners other than the person that owns VistaJet. In terms of the risk, it is always interesting to discuss business models but let me suggest that if you really want to know how to make money out of a large fleet, call a local taxi, work out where they came from (their head office, or the nearest one available) and then look at what they charged you. Ad into this how much diesel they put in the taxi and how much of it they spend on each individual fare and also if they drop off at the railway station and pick up at the railway station there always seems to be 2.50 on the meter before youve gone anywhere, also where that taxi stays at night. Finally imagine if that taxi didn't have a home to live at, had drivers that could keep it running 24 hours a day, and the company who ran it had offices all over the country and customers who loved the service because the drivers were great and the taxi was always new!!
Don't let the traditional business jet mentality blind you to common sense. Remember, what other industry has had a monopolistic player at the helm for over 10 years, with a business model that is 26 years old!!!!!!, and in addition made some fundamentality disastrous mistakes about 4 years ago!!! As Dylan said "the times they are a changing"!!
