The launch of Must Jets will change the way people travel today. Practically everyone would love to travel in private jets, the only barrier to that is the financial cost to it. The new generation of very light jets(VLJ) with lower purchase and operating costs is going to help bring the price down. This is going to bring new clients to companies doing low cost personal jet services.
Despite the equivalent number of millionaires in the US(2.9m) and in Europe(2.8m) the number of corporate jets in Europe is still only 20 per cent of what it is in the US.
Over 70 per cent of private jet travel occurs over UK, Germany, Swiss, Italy and France, Paris is ideally located to serve this destinations.
In 2006 there was more then 700, 000 private jet movements in Europe and 85 per cent of it was within the range of 1200km.
We intend to be one of the major companies in private jet services in Europe.
