No Delays Air Charters-Gearing up 4 Business- The Essential Business Component Provided by General Aviation Airports in Your Local Community
We drive by them on a regular basis without realizing their full potential. I’m referring to the General Aviation Airports in your local community. These airports generally handle under 3,000 passengers each year, where charter flights either originate from or to their destination.
These General Aviation Airports connect your community markets with the world’s market. But just as essential, they bring businesses into your community of Gluckstadt and Madison. Gluckstadt, Mississippi, where I live, has benefited from their General Aviation Airport where charter flights depart and arrive on a regular basis. One of these charter services is Mississippi Air Express. Charter flights are the closest thing to having your own aircraft for business and/or causal travel, without having the expense or maintenance of an aircraft.
Charter flights are not just for the large, corporate business travel anymore, but since the demand for charter flights has picked up due to COVID-19 and now with the Delta variant, charter flights are within individual and small business’ budget. Charter aircraft don’t just ferry passengers between destinations, they also transport packages that include some of the most precious packages, medical supplies, and patients.
At certain General Aviation Airports, local Veteran groups have hangars and air museums with both decommission and functionable vintage military aircraft on display. On occasion, these Veteran groups sponsor airshows for the public to attend and, in some cases, have an opportunity for actual cockpit flights.
These are great places to talk to pilots and Veterans who have served our country and hear their stories firsthand. These are great field trip opportunities for school-age students to visit these museums. Just make sure you take your I-Phone with you to take photographs. If you never heard a P-51 Mustang with that Rolls-Royce Merlin engine rave-up, you will never forget the power and wash from its prop produce.
A young person experiencing aircraft on one of these tours might cause them to consider aviation either as a full-time or part-time career. I can still remember a Boeing B-75 Stearman landing in a pasture near our farm and seeing that bright yellow bi-plane taxi to a full stop. I was captivated by aviation on that day. The love of aviation has never left me since then and my love of flight.
Return to a Time when Air Travel was a Luxury
There was a time, in the early 50’s and 60’s, when air travel was considered a luxurious and pleasurable experience where the passenger received the highest quality and standard of service and attention. Those days can still be experienced, with what I refer to as Concierge Charter flight service, like what Mississippi Air Express provides their passengers. No more curtailed, lost, or damaged, checked baggage to manage. No crowded and frustrating flights to endure that are constantly being delayed. Concierge Charter flight service’s mission and aim is to cater to you, your needs, and your schedule.
Landing The Deal
Virtual meetings are no substitute for landing the deal face-to-face with a fist pump and sit-down luncheons to build relationships. Relationships are the cornerstone and foundation of any successful business. There is no substitute for an in person sit-down meeting with clients to build that relationship and to offer your services and show off your products.
I run a sports training and apparel business where my online business is a large part of my business. But when it comes to golf lessons and customers wanting to examine your apparel, like our authentic A-2 Leather Flight Jackets, nothing beats the personal, face-to-face meetings where companies can try-on before buying our jackets. These A-2 and G-1 Leather Flight Jackets that we carry are supplied to the U.S. Military.
The Concierge term gets more and more traction in our society in both services and products, especially in my business where I offer personal training, fitness, and apparel. Meeting the customers face-to-face, one-on-one, and in person is essential. I depend on the Concierge Charter flight service, like what Mississippi Air Express provides me.
Avoiding the Large, Regional Airports
What is really nice is flying into the local General Aviation Airport that isn’t crowded, but can still offer passengers personal transportation and hotel accommodations that are close to your appointments or social events. Avoid the large, Regional and International Airports and receive the small town’s quaint attention of what small town America has to offer, that includes hospitality.
So the next time you need to book a flight for yourself or group, consider Concierge Charter flight service, like Mississippi Air Express has to offer. With Football season around the corner and with teams now playing out-of-conference teams again, a charter flight is a viable option, especially for groups.
I have Logged over 15,100 Charter Flight Hours
Before I retired, after 33 years with Entergy Transmission line utility, I logged over 15,100 hours, performing aerial patrols in a 206-D Bell Jet Ranger. Aerial flights provide us with a safe and viable means to cover our state’s grid in a short period of time.
Concierge Charter flight service provides businesses the ability to make long distance travel and still maintain a busy work schedule of managing their day-to-day business. Whether you operate a small company with less than 10 workers, or a large corporation with over 1,000 employees, nothing beats the advantages of Concierge Charter flight service provides.

Your Charter Flight Jacket, The First Class Jacket
Also, to arrive with that fine, tailored, charismatic look, fit, and feel of a first class jacket, purchase one of our authentic leather flight jackets. These flight jackets are as durable as your schedule is demanding. Whether during the week while meeting with clients or for a leisure weekend with friends, go with the best- THE QATSPY® line of Leather Jackets. This is your best sports jacket that only improves with time and wear. Who can imagine Indiana Jones without his iconic leather jacket that we carry also.
The A-2 and G-1 Leather Flight Jackets are the same ones we supply to the U.S. Military. Our Indiana Jones-Style Leather Jacket is the same one that is used in the Indiana Jones Movie. You might have even caught sight of this Indy-Style jacket at Walt Disney World in their production of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. For more details, please click the photograph below:
Who can forget seeing WWII pilots and elite paratroop units wearing the classic 1931 A-2 Leather Flight Jacket with that Charisma-style of completing their mission? One of many movies that we supplied the A-2 Leather Flight Jacket to was The Tuskegee Airmen.
