A Lake Como, New Jersey, resident, Edgar Alacan has an undergraduate degree in business administration from Brooklyn College. He is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Jets.com, a company that provides private jet charter flights. In his free time, Edgar Alacan likes to travel. Although likely costlier than a commercial flight, traveling by private jet offers several benefits. One of these is enhanced safety through reduced exposure to health risks. Passengers go through fewer touchpoints when flying by private jet than at commercial airlines. This helps lower the chance of contracting an illness or infection because it involves less contact with other people. This type of flight can also save on time. Jet planes can land at smaller airports inaccessible to commercial planes, and check-in and other activities that people must do before a flight takes less time at small hubs and private terminals due to the limited number of passengers. For a domestic commercial flight, travelers typically lose about 90 minutes in the airport before flying. Moreover, people receive more privacy on private jets and avoid hindrances to comfort associated with crowds, such as noise and potential disruptions from other passengers.
