Businessmen Fly
Almost As Much As
Domestic Airlines
Businessmen, seeking saving in
time and money, last year flew in
their 11,000 corporation-owned
aircraft, almost as many plane
miles as the entire fleet of the
scheduled domestic airlines.
This information is contained
in an article in the current issue
of PLANES, official publication
of the Aircraft Industries Assn.
In 1952, corporate aircraft own
ers in this country logged well
over 422 million plane-miles. This
compares with the 457 million
plane-miles flown during the same
period by the scheduled domestic
airlines.
While running up these aston
ishing figures, corporation air
craft flew some 3.25 million hours
—equivalent to an individual fly
ing day and night for over 370
years.
These aircraft range from small
single-engine planes to the newest
and largest air transports, that are
equipped with the most modem
instruments and electronic aids
available. They represent a total
investment of about $175 million,
an expenditure of from 30 to 50
million dollars annually for planes
parts and equipment—and an es
timated additional million dollars
annually for fuel, oil and main
tenance.
Despite the inflated dollar, pur
chasers of today’s planes actually
get more for their money than
those who bought their pre-WOrld
War II counterparts. One typical
four-plac£ business plane now
sells for about $13,000. A pre
World War II four-placer—which
flew far slower, was less com
fortable and less reliable — sold
for just about the same price.
Measured in terms of pre-World
War II dollars, the modem four
placer is priced at less than $7,000.
