What is On-demand Private Jet Charter?

What influences pricing on a private jet charter?
Many factors such as flight times and distances, type of aircraft and the length of the flight. For example, if you are flying a round-trip or multi-leg flight with many days ( usually more than 3 days) before your return flight on that same particular aircraft, you will incur aircraft, crew expenses often referred as “overnights” to cover the costs of hotels, aircraft parking for those days that the aircraft will be stationary on the ground.
Such fees are typically non-negotiable with the operator/owner of the aircraft as these are fixed expenses incurred during each and every flight. If the Private Jet cannot simply stay on the ground for a course of several days, the price will often be higher as the operator will build round-trip pricing for each leg. This means the aircraft will drop you off, leave to its next destination or its base, and then come back for you when you’re ready to depart. That’s a lot of flying therefore incurring higher charges.
