The rising inclination of ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWI) towards private charters is predicted to propel the worldwide passenger-chartered air transport market. Rather than owning jets, the majority of UHNWIs tend to favor private charters. In the Asia-Pacific region, Australia dominates the market with 57 charter jets for 27 billionaires, succeeding is Singapore, accommodating 28 billionaires with 30 charter jets. The spread of COVID-19 has further propelled market growth, as individuals were required to adhere to social distancing and UHNWIs sought safe and personalized travel alternatives. Consequently, this escalated desire for private charters has boosted the expansion of the passenger-chartered air transport market.
