MSNBC has an article from the St. Louis Business Journal about private plane options in that region. As we have seen in other areas, many companies are using fractional and charter flight services and are considering the use of very light jets. Every time an article like this runs I learn about a new jet service. This time it is JetDirect Aviation a growing company backed by a couple of Philadelphia-based investors. They recently acquired St. Louis-based JetCorp and now offer 33 charter aircraft based in the Northeast and Midwest, as well as two full service FBOs, and two advanced maintenance facilities. They offer a variety of flight options for six to 13 people, from a Eurocopter to a Gulfstream IV. As charter and private jet businesses increase and many of the smaller light jets only go for shorter distance, the role of Midwest hubs will take on prime importance.
