In a world where we\u2019re more connected than ever before, it\u2019s easy to think that there might be an abundance of airplane incidents with recent crashes making headlines all over the world. However, the chances of an aircraft crashing to earth are very slim.<\/p>\n
In fact, research shows that you may be more likely to be involved in a car accident<\/a> than experience plane malfunction or trouble in the air. Does this mean you can also feel safest in a personal aircraft? Absolutely!<\/p>\n No matter what the stats say, though, you may still worry or feel uncertain about your safety in a private jet. Read on to learn more about private jet safety and how you\u2019re in great hands when you soar higher with Stratos Jet Charters, Inc.<\/p>\n Yes! Due to high safety standards and routine maintenance, private aircraft are among the safest in the skies, especially if you book a charter through a reputable provider.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a clear answer on the most reliable private jet, the Cessna Citation range, as well as Bombardier and Gulfstream, have great track records.<\/p>\n But we won\u2019t say one particular plane is the safest private plane to fly; every private plane you book with Stratos has passed through some of the most rigorous safety standards in the industry to ensure passenger and crew safety. No matter which private jet you\u2019re looking for, the Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. team does its due diligence to ensure you\u2019re on a high performance plane with a spacious cabin and top notch safety features.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a common misconception floating around that smaller private jets aren\u2019t as safe as commercial airliners. That\u2019s false, and nothing could be further from the truth. Private jets are heavily regulated, as are their operators. In many cases, private jets may also have more tailored maintenance than commercial planes as well. And when you\u2019re flying with Stratos Jet Charters, Inc., your private jet experience should be nothing short of exceptional. That\u2019s why we\u2019re so heavily dedicated to our safety and maintenance measurements<\/p>\n This depends on the aircraft size. The smaller the plane, the more turbulence you may experience. This is simply because they weigh less and they\u2019re more likely to get pulled around or move with the air. Smaller private planes also tend to fly at lower altitudes where they might experience more changes related to the air. Whether you\u2019re flying on a turboprop aircraft with a commercial airline or as a private charter, the turbulence is the same.<\/p>\n Turbulence bringing down a plane is considered \u201cextremely unlikely.<\/a>\u201d Both the design of modern planes, as well as the experience and expertise of the captain controlling the flight, are designed and trained to withstand the rapid wind movement.<\/p>\n It\u2019s incredibly important to work with reputable brokers that only hire private jet operators that meet, if not exceed, traditional safety standards. Before you book, ask the provider if they:<\/p>\n It is perfectly acceptable to ask about these requirements before booking a charter. Whichever broker you work with should respect your right to make an informed buying decision and address your concerns with transparency and honesty.<\/p>\n As we mentioned above, there\u2019s a popular misconception around that commercial aircraft are safer than private jets. It can be argued that private aircraft are actually safer than their larger counterparts, simply due to the safety standards they must pass through before being hired by passengers. However, both methods of traveling are safe.<\/p>\n If we look at ICAO Accident Statistics<\/a>, we can see that the accident rate has dramatically decreased in the last few years.<\/p>\n\n If we look at this graph created using the data from ICAO, we can see that in 2022 only 3.25 accidents occurred per one million departures.<\/p>\n So do private jets crash more than commercial jets?<\/p>\n When you consider the number of commercial flights taken versus private flights, it\u2019s safe to assume that commercial planes may be more accident-prone. However, this doesn\u2019t mean that one is necessarily safer than the other. It\u2019s safe to say that traveling by air is extremely safe.<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to know the private jet safety record for any aircraft you charter, be sure to ask your private flight advisors. They would be more than happy to share those details with you.<\/p>\n Though all jets are safe, there are a few that stand above the others. One popular option is the Pilatus PC-12. This aircraft has been in service for more than 7 million flight hours<\/a> and is a proven leader in the private aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n This single-engine aircraft is typically configured to accommodate up to eight passengers, cruises at speeds of 312 miles per hour, and hits an astounding range of 1,732 nautical miles. And for its size, the interior is equally impressive.<\/p>\nAre private jets safe?<\/h2>\n
