YachtChartersMagazine.com ).

Having worked closely with the leaders of this emerging industry, we are now pleased to present this exclusive magazine - a detailed look at private air travel.

Consider today's traveling environment - arriving at the airport 2-2-1/2 hours before your flight after parking your car in a remote lot. You're spending unproductive time waiting to go through multiple security procedures. Then, consider the time you spend waiting for your flight to take off. You'll probably be sharing that flight with at least 150 strangers. When you arrive at your destination, an endless walk awaits through expansive concourses. Then you spend more unproductive time attending to your baggage and ground transportation. And your experience is the same whether you're paying the premium prices for first-class travel or a bargain fare.

At ATWjets, clients will not find fractional or membership card programs. The company philosophy is simple: you pay only for the flights you require at the best possible pricing. You don't tie up additional money.

New programs in the form of jet card memberships have become the hot new trend in private aviation, and every month another company seems to be launching a membership program. Not only have these programs helped lift the industry out of the downtime it experienced after the collapse of the stock market, but they have attracted a new type of flyer who once considered it too expensive to get into private jets.
