Road Trips in Half the Time!

Forget about jets for a minute. Let's talk the most basic business aviation out there...the twin engine airplane. An example would be the Beech Baron. Twin engine business airplanes can be incredibly cost effective and frequently out-perform travel by road.

We recently did a comparison for a company in La Porte, IN comparing driving and business aviation to cities they often visit. (La Porte is 26 miles west of South Bend.) We used a basic twin engine airplane for the comparison, not a fancy business jet.

In all cases, airline flights weren't a viable option because the client would need to drive to South Bend, catch a commuter flight, go to a hub, and change planes. By the time they did all that, it was no faster than driving. But the business aviation flight could use the La Porte Municipal Airport.

It's not just the time saved in travel...it's what you can do with that time! If you find yourself dreading an upcoming road trip, you owe it to yourself to get a comparison like this.
