She said that among the factors for the rise in domestic charters were the country’s lockdown restrictions and overall uncertainty regarding the Covid-19 pandemic.
“This, together with the recent political and social unrest, does not instil confidence in the country," she said. "We have seen a rise in private charters since lockdown last year, especially for travellers who are unable to find scheduled flights or those nervous to travel on a commercial aircraft during the pandemic.
The type of aircraft will depend on the number of passengers, the route and the itinerary. Bertasso advised that domestic travellers need to alert companies a few hours in advance to mobilise crew and get the aircraft ready. For international flights, travellers need to provide at least 48 hours notice for the company to secure overflight and landing rights in the other country.One of the biggest drawcards for private charters is safety due to the pandemic.
