This needs a disambiguation page as Bizjet is a company and bizjet automatically gets routed to "Business Jet"

[edit] What about companies that offer dead leg seats?

I have heard they are out there. I just do not know of any. A dead leg is when a private jet flies someone from Point A to Point B but returns to Point A while the person stays at Point B. It later returns to pick that person up.

Suppose Bill Gates is going to fly from Redmond, WA to Martha's Vineyard for a vacation. His jet might return to Remond. This return leg might be to allow the jet to be serviced or fly someone else somewhere. This trip back to Redmond is a "dead leg" because the jet's owners are not assured of a paying passenger.

Later, the jet will need to return to Martha's Vineyard to pick Gates back up and take him home. However, since the jet is somewhere other than Martha's Vineyard, it must make another dead leg trip.

As I understand it, there are companies that sell seats on dead leg trips for those jet owners. However, Wikipedia does not appear to have a dead leg article. Nor does it mention dead legs in the private jet article. Will 01:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

That's interesting. We don't have much about the detail of the bizjet charter business in the article whatsoever, which should be added (but unfortunately, not many of us get to experience bizjet chartering all that often...). --Robert Merkel 02:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Is it possible to credit help in building a section or article? Perhaps we could contact an advertising office of one of the companies, and ask for information in return for a small credit (e.g. as a reference. [1] 1. Information in this article comes from the CharterJets Inc., P.R. Department.) or something like that. I understand if the consensus is that something like that would violate the neutrality of the article. 24.205.34.217 21:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
No, sorry, it's not possible to do that. The information needs to come from verifiable third-party source. I find it hard to believe that with the number of magazines, both aviation business related (Ie, Business and Commercial Aviation) and business related (ie, Forbes), that have covered this industry, no one can dig out a ref?

[edit] Gulfstream

Why aren't Gulfstreams mentioned, the Caddillac of Business Jets? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.239.100.251 (talk) 02:35, 12 May 2007 (UTC).


[edit] Very Light Jets

Merging this would mean you would need to merge very light jets too. I propose very light jets are merged into this page

[edit] List Boxes

Suggest using list boxes too divided by manufacturer so the mess of the list of airlines do not transcend to the growing list of businss and executive aircraft.

That list of airlines is useless to navigate through......Endless scrolling... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.215.26.172 (talk) 05:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should we place a list? Or is that unencyclopedic?

  • I found this. Is this encyclopedic? Or should this not be added?
