Cheaper Than Flying First Class On A Commercial Airline

- Today, I stopped by Atlanta Air Charter in Kennesaw GA. atlantaaircharter.com
Atlanta Air Charter provides different professional aviation services, including air charter, aircraft maintenance, aircraft management, aircraft storage, as well as sales and acquisition.
We cover a lot of single pilot flying on this channel, and as much as I enjoy being a private pilot in GA, I’ve always been curious about the business side of general aviation. Charter companies are all around the country, and they provide private flying to you, if you can afford it.
As you’ll listen to Karina explain in the video, in some cases, it’s actually more cost effective or cheaper to charter a private plane for a group of people, than flying together on a commercial airline.
As per the aircraft Atlanta air charter uses, they have 4 well maintained Kingairs 200. Amazing turboprop airplane capable of speeds north of 300 knots.

My wife is a doctor and spends a lot of time on these kinds of charters....can't thank them enough for keeping the medical transplant folks safe and moving efficiently
Thank you Lee. We have such love for the medical community! Anything that we can do to help, please let us know. It is of the utmost importance for us to keep them safe.
Bold of you to assume that my company would fly me first class.....
One of the most informative videos you've posted. Very incisive,informative and educational. Side note/indirectly - yes, it's a sweet marketing tool as well. I've had to educate many MANY of my non-aviation co-workers/friends about the differences between Part 121 and Part 135. Part 135 is, unknown to many, more affordable for many in some situations moreso than Part 121. . . and I do love King Airs! Thanks.
keep them coming!! great vid
Really interesting (and alternate) way to think about how aircraft and time can be better utilized 👌
This is great stuff Sir. Thank you.
Awesome. I didn't know about this, and the price being so reasonable
Hey Mojo, your video editing skills have improved, bravo!
Nopehahalolwut you editing geeks are crazy ......you suppose to watch these videos for information and knowledge fuck the editing
NonyaBusiness! You should go watch videos about editing..... and geek out
Nice video!
Cool vid!
Nice very informtive
Technically a turbo prop. Jet engine with a prop
thedirtyknobs ah yes, an avgeek
Very nice job in the intro Mike, it was serene. Looks like a cool company and those King Airs are gorgeous (esp the red one).
Also they should paint that drywall in the hangar, lol. At least spray down a layer of primer. The tape will start pulling off after a while.
Definitely fun job.
These aircraft (Beechcraft B-200) can land fine at any large airport. The reason that you dont charter one from Atlanta to the West Coast is economy and flite time. A true jet (not a turboprop) is much more efficient at altitude and would probably be about the same cost as the King Air for a coast to coast trip. If you know this already please accept my apologies for lecturing but just based on the comments there seems to be some misunderstanding in the group about the reason for the "not to LA" comment.
ruclips.net/video/gTEvHqkQZ3c/видео.html 1:22:24 Some small single engine planes can carry 7 people. The Ercoupe comes to mind. Cheaper than a jet!
Well spoken Karina (hope the spelling is wright). Another great upload Mojo. Must be getting close for you to travel down to the Southern Hemispherefor some real
Thanks Steve!
I would love to fly for this company. Will be contacting them. Nice video Mojo. Bless.
Please do! We'd love to hear from you.
@@karinasimonis9182 do you have any pilot requirements listed anywhere? im about to graduate in may and have been browsing jobs all over
its def gonna be a walk in the park
She’s freezing, give her a thicker jacket!!! 😊.
Hazard of the job Johnny. But she was okay I promise.
I was not prepared for the wind on that taxi way! As Mojo said, it comes with the job
@@karinasimonis9182 FWIW you did a great job and represented your company well.
@@karinasimonis9182 Hey Karina, can you throw me an estimate here?
King Air 200
Round trip
Boston to Cape Canaveral (or nearest permissable airport)
Arrive one day, depart the next day.
1 person
2 30 pound bags.
What do you think that would cost?
I love me a Kingair.
...me too.
Pilatus PC-12NG > Kingair
Nice! King Air definitely a work horse.
Commercial pilot never sounded right for me. Figured I'd just be a private pilot and every now and then fly around friends and family. But this sounds very interesting. Something for me to consider. Thank you for putting this info out there!!! If I get a job flying it'll probably be for a charter company.
Unless it has changed a lot since the 90's (and it probably has changed a lot) you should expect to start off flying with a freight or mail company when you first get out your commercial rating. Lots of long hours alone at night and early morning. You will be flying aircraft owned and operated by people driven by the bottom line. You will not be carrying live passengers. Don't expect a job right out of school flying King Airs for a private charter company.
@@aDogboydave Thx! Long hours alone at night and early morning flying sounds fine. It's gotta be better than driving. And if I take a job flying, it'll hopefully be by choice and not necessity. If their bottom line is too demanding of my happiness, they can hire someone else.
Update?
How cold is it there you look like you are about to freeze
I would ride he kingair to LA😂
Isn't FAA Part 135 for General Aviation not commercial?
Part 135 is commercial operations
@@mojogrip Yep you're right. Thanks mate. Just found the channel and am digging it
Maybe next time without the sound of the wind
How do I hire this service ????
Company name and website are provided in the video description. 👍
@@guardrailbiter .....Thank you, also I'm inquiring on behalf of a pilot license
Why wouldn't I want to fly to LA in that. It is technically a jet because it's a turbo prop but. Wouldn't it look amazing in this thing
Probably because its only 300kts and you might have to stop once for fuel? idk. better off just getting a true jet
It's a jet with a prop
@@brian856 100% correct! It would be 4.5 hours to Texas, stop for gas and then 4.5 more hours to LA. I certainly would look into a Citation V for that trip!
With ground travel and security I bet you would still end up at your destination before the big commercial guys.
I fly charters only when there isn't an alternative. Their safety record is half that of airlines. Tragically, a small charter jet with only two or three passengers aboard stalled and pancaked in a townhouse development incinerating the owner and two kids.
The pilot had a similar error only months before but the outcome wasn't fatal.
HI James, I certainly understand your uncomfortableness with air travel. Atlanta Air Charter has a 100% 15 year safety record. All of our PIC's have over 20,000 hours of flight time commercially and military.
One of the good things about chartering is that you can actually research the individual companies safety record and local reputation. Heck, if you hang out at the FBO long enough you can probably meet the people who actually do the maintenance. You can gather your own data and make an informed decision. Some charter companies are much much much so much more careful with their training and maintenance. Others, not so much. The best and safest operators in the air today are the military and some private charter organizations. If you do your homework , flying charter can be by far the safest way to travel. Commercial aviation on the other hand is driven by the bottom line and minimum compliance with regulations. They are big factories and they make it with numbers. A lot of their maintenance is done offshore and the oversight is not what it was 30 years ago when the FAA led the world in ensuring safety and compliance with government regulation. When you fly commercial, you get what you get. If it happens to be a 737 , well get used to it. If you charter you have a choice.
Found it hard to hear with all the wind noise, cant you buy a "dead cat" wind cover for yow mic?
I understand the need for a charter type service like this but saying this replaces First Class on a commercial airline is misleading. I don't know of any business nowadays that books first class for any of their employees, or allows their employees to book first class, virtually none unless its part of an employment contract.
The benefit of this type of transport is for those businesses that have a quick need for a short-haul flight. Also, a huge benefit when trying to get into a more remote location on a short-haul flight, it saves a huge amount of time without having to take multiple flights and wait time in terminals.
If I was a betting man, (like the owner of this charter company) I would be willing to wager that the people who are in the market for this service are not misled at all by the headline.
I would not characterize your statement about businesses not booking first class on a commercial airline as an absolute; it does happen. When you really begin to crunch numbers as it relates to business travel, this "niche market" charter becomes financially well suited for travelers. Just look at the numbers. Input OTHER intangibles not on paper; it makes even more financial sense. Kinda makes your "virtually none" comment a misnomer. For the most part, you've also misrepresented the level of accommodations reflected in a Part 121 "first class" seat to a Part 135 charter. How would YOU define the variance in overall quality of flight?
My present employer has a policy that all transcontinental travel is business class. Definitely still out there.
I worked for a company in the optics industry a few years back, we made very high end rifle scopes. When we would travel to demo these scopes to different .gov or local LEO agencies it was a HUGE pain to have to drive 1.5hr to ATL, pay parking for 5 people, FLY WITH GUNS, pay for extra/overweight baggage fees, etc etc etc.
Finally we started chartering and it was a life saver. We could fly with whatever we wanted, and do it from a smaller General aviation airport 20 minutes away. We actually did a few tests, and in the time it took to drive 1.5hrs to ATL airport, check in luggage and wait for departure.... the other half of the team was already on the ground in Tampa
Not good for a cheap employer like mine. I fly twice a week with a $600 max airfare policy. And it’s just me, not a group of people to divide the costs. Only my CEO can spend this kinda money.
where do you fly to or from ?
One problem I have is a turbo props can't fly above the clouds so if there is bad weather your flying into it.i would rather have a true jet like a embracer.
turbo props can most definitely fly above the clouds... The King Air 200 that is behind her has a ceiling of 35,000 ft. Optimal cruise altitude is properly somewhere in between 28,000-33,000 ft; well above the clouds.
Poor girl was cold. Great plane though.
And a well done interview considering.
It was very windy and cold on that taxi way! I was not prepared lol comes with the job!
Karina Simonis you did amazing!
This seems like a thing I could do.
Cheaper Than Flying First Class
Fake she;s a known actress check out her imdb profile even her own web page says shes a actress.....if you got paid by the company Mike you have to say it;s a paid advertisement
Damn it, going so good and another rolling pop up AD ruined it. Lost interest. Again
She actualy said the King Airs they have is not a jet. Guess what!! Those turbo props on there King Air are jet engines with an outside propeller than an inside propeller. She dose not know her own equipment she is talking about. Poor spokes person for this company.
In the aviation industry you would be laughed at if you called a King Air a jet. She knows exactly what she is talking about.
You need to spend some time on AgentJayZ's channel bud. He'll both educate you *and* put you in your place if you make stupid comments like this.
