Bargain of the week: Executive jets for less

At last: a way to use an executive jet without breaking the bank. Business aviation involves plenty of "empty legs", such as a jet taking a high-flyer from London to Frankfurt but returning empty. Now, a Swiss company, LunaJets, has launched a website (lunajets.com) designed to fill those flights. This week, for example, it has offered a group of up to nine people the chance to fly from Istanbul to Biggin Hill (south-east London). The price of !12,500 may be daunting – but cheaper options are available. Four passengers could bask in luxury between Geneva and RAF Northolt (in north-west London) for !603 each. The corresponding one-way business-class fare on BA is almost !1,000.
