A Note from the Editors about Business Jet Traveler Magazine and BJTonline.com
Since its launch in October 2003, Business Jet Traveler magazine has occupied a unique niche among aviation and travel publications. On one end of the spectrum are the business aviation trade publications, as exemplified by BJT’s industry-leading sister periodical, Aviation International News (www.ainonline.com). On the other end of the spectrum are the glossy lifestyle and travel publications, with their focus on glitz and glamour.
In the middle is Business Jet Traveler—the only publication that addresses the topics that are essential to private air travelers with the same journalistic principles of accuracy and integrity that are the hallmark of Aviation International News. Among the important subjects you’ll find covered regularly in BJT are charter, fractional ownership, jet cards, whole aircraft ownership, aircraft management, aviation finance and insurance, taxes, legal matters, contracts and purchase/resale considerations.
Every issue of BJT also includes in-depth interviews with experienced business aviation users—our Center Stage feature—as well as conversations with Industry Insiders, professionals who can provide insight into their areas of expertise within private aviation.
But we don’t stop there. Recognizing that private air travel is both a business tool and a lifestyle choice, we balance no-nonsense, how-to articles about business aviation with articles covering broader subjects related to it. Our interviews with CEOs who use business aviation reveal the lessons learned by these highly successful leaders that can help you in your own business. Getaways highlights leisure destinations uniquely suited to business aviation access. Low-level Flying targets high-performance automobiles. And our golf and fly-fishing features uncover hidden gems that are ideal for the aircraft-enabled lifestyle.
Looking at it another way, Business Jet Traveler is a blend of valuable information that business aircraft users “need to know” to maximize their investments in private air transport and handy information related to business aviation that is more “neat to know.” If you turn right to go into the cabin when you board a business jet, you’re one of the folks for whom we write BJT. Those who turn left to go into the cockpit are the ones for whom we write Aviation International News.
BJTonline.com is the Web site of Business Jet Traveler. In it you will eventually find, as archiving is ongoing, all the articles–unabridged–that we’ve published since the magazine’s first issue. You’ll also find every article we publish in the future. And much more is in the works.
We hope you visit BJTonline.com often and that you’ll let us know what you think. An easy-to-use e-mail form is on our CONTACT US page and our addresses and phone and fax numbers are below.
