I'm afraid that really isn't "Good Business Sense"!
I find it difficult to imagine a potential charter customer who can afford several thousand pounds to charter an aircraft from the Midlands to Munich, presumably a turboprop or a business jet, choosing to save money by doing the trip with a low hours pilot in a Cessna 152. And that is even if they are travelling alone, although anyone chartering an aircraft will also likely have several companions on the trip.
If they really want to save money, it would be cheaper to fly commercial on a low cost airline.
