I think you’re overestimating the need to manage everything. There are hundreds of companies in the US alone that provide private jet management with a range of different services.
For example, my wife’s boss has a Dassault Falcon 2000. He keeps it under management with a company at the nearby executive airport. I also have a few friends who are pilots for the same management company. The management company maintains the aircraft, hires, trains, pays, and schedules pilots, and handles every aspect of a flight. He simply has his assistant call to schedule his trips.
The aircraft is used for a mix of business and personal use. In addition to everything the management company provides for his personally owned airplane, they also have a fleet of other aircraft that he has access to for a significantly reduced fee. This is useful for when some people need to be one place but a team of other people need to travel from the main office to the distribution centers or vendors. When you’re moving 5-6 people for a trip the advantage of being able to complete the trip in a day vs an overnight is pretty significant. By the time you factor in 5-6 airline tickets, lost employee productivity, and hotels for 5-6 people for a night. You come out about even, if not ahead, by using the jet.
Often when they travel they’ll have a flight attendant and catering that provides easily just as good, if not better, service than you’ll get on most domestic business class flights in the US.
In summary, better service, on-demand, and basically no effort other than an e-mail or phone call. I’d say it’s worth it if money means nothing to you.
