The view on business travel has become much more conservative over the past year. With many companies wondering how the travel landscape will look as the year progresses, some are beginning to consider how their companies can resume travel safely. Having endured unprecedented disruption during the pandemic, businesses are now prioritising planning and preparation more than ever, factoring in how they can prevent any functional or operational setbacks in the future while keeping their employees safe.
With a lot of expectations to get back to important face-to-face dealings and reconnect during live events, some sources suggest that travel for business and meetings will enter a period of recovery starting in the third quarter of 2021. We are starting to see indicators for this trend as our team continues to provide essential business flight solutions. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve continued to provide charter flights for clients needing to travel for critical business purposes, and our team continue to fulfil several last-minute charter requests and emergency flight arrangements.
For businesses considering private charter flight solutions for their organisation, it is important to understand how our services fit in with your current plans for business continuity. We will discuss how our portfolio of services and expert team of aviation specialists can benefit your organisation, and allow for continued travel, a duty of care, and business travel management.
