If you're serious about the Air Charter/taxi business main concern must be the comfort and safety of your passengers rather than impressing your pilot with the latest wizzle stick. The C421 model was made as an Executive Aircraft not just a bus. It is possibly the only G.A piston twin where the passengers don't require headsets and can continue to conduct business in the air. The pressurisation and geared engines make this a very comfortable and quiet aircraft for your passengers.
There may have been a case to buy new aircraft when the exchange rate was .8 or better. But when the conversion rate is 70C or less this is not the time to increase your financial commitments simply to compensate for the exchange rate. In addition the dramatic reduction of interest and much lower costs of AVGAS all indicate a well proven existing VH registered aircraft is the fiscally responsible direction.
Finance There has never been a better time to get CHEAP money.
Interest Rates are at an all time low and with such a minimal capital outlay obtaining finance should not be a problem.

What is one of the most important aids to a successful business?
Your PHONE NUMBER.
It is still a major way of receiving enquiries and bookings. It doesn’t matter if you are selling insurance or air travel.
The phone number must be easy to remember and even better if it has some subliminal connection with your business.
Eclipse Aviation has available probably the best phone number that meets both of these requirements.
Probably even the least interested person in anything to do with Aviation is aware of the new Airbus A380.
We have available the most memorable, easy to remember and aviation related number for your Air Charter Service
(or other aviation related activity).
It is 1800 380 380.
A number (unlike most others) that the General Public will remember. How many times have you heard a radio advert or seen a TV commercial for a product or service and wanted to make an enquiry but you couldn’t remember the contact details. Sure some people will search the internet or check the yellow pages but many will not and that is a potential customer lost.
Seize this opportunity to increase the effectiveness of your future advertising. Not only will it assist in customer recall but it will demonstrate that you are a serious and professional aviation player and as many people have some apprehension about G.A flying you always must demonstrate your professionalism.
