Thank you CL
So a round trip of 1 hour each way ie 120 minutes is charged as 144 minutes (2 hours + 4 x 6) .This is effectively increasing the rate by 20%. In the case of a citation the rate goes up from £4,000/Hr to £4,800/Hr. Do Netjet customers realise that 6 minutes of taxi tine costs about £30 not £400? I would think it rather sharp business practice not to point this out.
Am I Netjet bashing? Just a bit I suppose but the established charter businesses are getting rather hacked off at the attempts by one of the world's richest men to try and turn around a failed business model by further encroaching on the business models of others. Doing so by fair competition is one thing but by just throwing money at it and trying to convince customers that £4,800/Hr for a Citation is cost effictive is annoying to say the least.
