Why the banks & finance industry choose LunaJets as their private jet charter of choice

This is particularly because commercial aviation is becoming more complex and time-consuming, due to global staff shortages across cabin crew teams and baggage handlers.

Flying with commercial airlines is no longer as speedy and efficient as it once was, even in business class, which is why more and more firms within the banking sector are turning to private aviation to meet their travel needs.

LunaJets is trusted by a large number of private banking institutions and their chief executives, who recognise that chartering a private jet may not be as costly as they think. We open our customers’ eyes to the wide range of time-saving benefits that can be gained by private jet hire.

Seven key benefits of business aviation for the banking sector:

Private jet travel is transport of choice for banking institutions and their clients

Private jet travel is often the transport of choice for the finance industry, whose corporate executives frequently need to quickly travel across the globe for negotiations and high-level client meetings.

We also understand the need for banking institutions to accommodate their UHNWI and HNWI clients, and to fly in key customers and their families. Providing the use of a private jet can be an added touch that delivers extra value customer service to your key clients - at a rate that is more cost-effective than you may think.

The premier private aviation partner for the financial sector

It is for these reasons - speed, convenience and customer service - why it is crucial that banking and financial institutions team up with a reliable private jet partner. Being headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, LunaJets offers quick and easy local access to financial hubs such as Zurich and London, as well as fast and luxurious international and transatlantic flights, quickly and easily.

LunaJets’ Geneva HQ quickly links to other financial hubs

As a Swiss company, and with headquarters in Geneva, LunaJets is the go-to corporate aviation partner of choice for many of the private banking institutions based in the city, in what is one of Europe’s leading financial hubs. We quickly transport executives to other financial hubs of London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Luxembourg and Zurich.

As an example, executives can quickly reach the following key business hubs:

Our extensive fleet, of over 4,800 aircraft worldwide, including luxurious corporate jets, is in addition to the exceptionally quick check-in times for private jet charter, which usually take around 15 minutes for passport control and security checks.

To save even more time, LunaJets organises a luxury private vehicle transfer as standard for corporate executives, from their home, hotel or office, directly to the private airport terminal, both for departure and the return journey.

Take off within two hours

With a deep understanding of the unique and demanding needs of the banking and financial sectors, LunaJets’ agents are available 24/7 and flights can be organised within two hours, from phone call to wheels-up.

An extensive network of accessible destinations and fleet of 4,800 aircraft

However, with a fleet of over 4,800 aircraft, LunaJets’ network extends across the globe, meaning that financial executives can reach key banking centres in Europe, Asia, the USA and the Caribbean. Charter a private jet with LunaJets and comfortably fly a key team to a longer-haul destination, and still arrive refreshed and ready for critical negotiations. Our smaller aircraft have the advantage of landing on short runways, ideal for urban areas or island landing strips.

Private jet travel enables efficiency and multiple destinations in a day

The speed and efficiency of private jet travel means that executives can travel to multiple destinations in one day. Your personnel can jet in and jet out of meetings, and return in time for other essential engagements.

On your schedule: planes wait in case of delays or meetings that run over

Your LunaJets’ aircraft is dedicated to your schedule, and will wait until you are ready to return. If your meeting changes, runs over schedule or is severely delayed, your aircraft simply waits. If you need to re-route, you can change course mid-flight, and your executives can also take off, land and depart from different locations.

Helicopter transfer for onward travel to urban or private destinations

If required, LunaJets can also provide onward transfer by helicopter charter, which is useful when meeting clients externally, for example in mountain resorts, on a yacht or in hard-to-reach locations. Helicopter transfer is also useful in congested urban areas, for direct access to key locations in city centres, such as banks or private banks, when helicopters can land on an urban helipad.

Good to know:

Gourmet meals in-flight for comfort and peak health

For comfort, LunaJets offers as standard, luxury vehicle transfer to and from the passenger’s home or hotel to the airport or to the private airport terminal. In-flight, LunaJets can provide gourmet meals which benefit travellers on a hectic schedule, and help teams wind down and relax. Note that on Very Light Jets, there are no kitchen facilities, but snacks and cold drinks can be provided.

Charter on-demand or frequent flyers can join our loyalty programme

For flexibility and a choice of their desired aircraft, financial customers tend to prefer to lease a private jet on-demand, or to join LunaJets’ loyalty programme. The LunaJets Loyalty Programme rewards LunaJets frequent flyers in a simple, straightforward way. We don’t count miles and there is no jet card to sign up for.
