Private Jet Marketplace Offers Many Great Deals, and Excellent Values

It’s only natural to look for the best deal, regardless of whether you’re buying a television, a car… or, a private jet. Daniel Jennings, founder and President of The Private Jet Company (TPJC) explains that certain private jet aircraft currently represent excellent deals in today’s market, often selling at prices far lower than buyers may expect. “We strongly believe the overall market is beginning to tighten, and inventories have decreased 50 percent over the last 24 months,” Jennings said. “That said, large cabin, long-range business jets from such manufacturers as Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon, and Bombardier continue to offer a lot
