Affärsaviation

Affärsaviation, often referred to as business aviation, encompasses the use of civil aircraft for business purposes. This typically involves transporting executives, clients, or high-value cargo. Unlike commercial airlines that operate scheduled routes for the general public, business aviation utilizes private jets, turboprops, and helicopters tailored to the specific needs of corporations and individuals.

The primary advantages of business aviation include enhanced flexibility, time savings, and increased privacy. Flights can be scheduled on demand, allowing for direct routes between less-served airports and minimizing travel time. This flexibility is crucial for businesses requiring rapid deployment or irregular travel patterns. Furthermore, private aircraft offer a controlled and secure environment, enabling passengers to conduct meetings or work in a confidential setting.

The business aviation sector includes a wide range of aircraft sizes and types, from light jets suitable for short-haul trips to large, long-range aircraft capable of intercontinental travel. Aircraft can be owned outright by companies, leased, or accessed through fractional ownership programs or charter services. The industry also supports a robust network of FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators) that provide essential services such as refueling, maintenance, and passenger handling at airports.
