Private Jet Charter w/ Ian West of Canary Jet Charter

Most people think private jets are for billionaires showing off. They're not. Eighty percent of private jet flights in Africa are for business. People who need to get somewhere fast, on their schedule, without depending on airlines that cancel or delay. In this episode, Hervé Wabo talks to Ian West from Canary Jet Charter about how private aviation actually works in Africa. Ian explains why so few people here understand this option and how business owners waste time because they think jets are just for flex. You'll hear about: * Why flying direct saves you five hours on trips like Nairobi to Kinshasa when you skip layovers * How two flights a week add up to ten hours saved, six flights a month give you thirty hours back * What empty leg flights are and why they cost eighty percent less than regular charters * Who actually uses private jets (hint: people who need control more than they need comfort) The real difference between owning, leasing, and chartering when you're operating in Africa This isn't theory. It's about fixing actual problems when commercial airlines don't go where you need to go, don't leave when you need to leave, or can't guarantee your safety. Hosted by Hervé Wabo.
