Apollo Jets

You own your own company, or perhaps you run a fortune 1000 firm. You’re a jetsetter, traveling across the country and the world to make business deals and create the future. You need the ability to get from Las Vegas to London, New York, Sao Paulo, Brazil, or Hong Kong at a moments notice.

To make this all possible you must own your own private jet. That’s the conventional wisdom at least. But you know that to succeed in business and in life sometimes you must buck convention.

The people at Apollo Jets are here to help you think outside the box by providing you with all the benefits of private jet owner ship without the cost, hassle and liability. Sure, owning your own jet brings a level of prestige unmatched by any other purchase and grants you the freedom to come and go at will, but it comes with significant costs.

The amount to purchase, house and maintain a jet alone can be staggering. Add in the numerous costs related to hiring a pilot, the grounds crew and a support staff, and the outlay of capital be comes hard to justify, especially during unstable economic climates.

That’s where on demand flying comes into play.

“If you are flying 400 to 500 hours a year, then a private jet is often a wise idea,” Andrew Drykerman, executive vice president of Apollo Jets says.

“But if you fly less than that, or if you need supplemental lifts when your plane is in for maintenance or your pilot is in recur ring training, then an on demand carrier like Apollo is the way to go”

Private on demand flying has numerous advantages that are unavailable to those who either own their own plane or belong to a fractional ownership program. They can all be summed up in one word—flexibility.

Perhaps you and your family want to fly to Park City for a long ski weekend. Apollo can provide you with an eight seat Citation Encore and get you to the slopes in hours.

Then, the following week you and your board of directors need to be in Singapore to close a big deal so you fly in luxury aboard a 13seat Falcon 900B. Having your own jet, you are bound by the limitations of that aircraft. With on demand flying you have options. Better yet, you pay only for what you need.

As Drykerman went on to say, “It (owning your own jet) is like buying a boat. Your two happiest days are the day you buy the boat and the day you sell the boat.”

All the costs aside, the truly great thing about on demand flying is the level of service. Companies like Apollo Jets know that you can take your business elsewhere whenever you please. With fractional ownership programs or outright private jet ownership, you are locked into a monthly recurring bill. It all comes down to incentive versus disincentive. If a company already has you money it doesn’t need to work as hard to earn it.

“With Apollo you’re not locked into anything, “explains Drykerman. “I work my butt off to win your business every time.”here whenever you please. With fractional ownership programs or outright private jet ownership, you are locked into a monthly recurring bill. It all comes down to incentive versus disincentive. If a company already has you money it doesn’t need to work as hard to earn it.

“Whatever your mission is we will get it done,” he says.

“Private, on demand flying is the ultimate luxury,” Drykerman says. “Once you fly our way you’ll never—provided you have the means—fly commercial again.”

So maybe you’re now thinking about having a happy day of your own and maybe you’ll sell your own jet and enter the world of on demand private flying. Happy globetrotting.
