Rena Davenport, CEO of <\/span>Exquisite Air Charter<\/span><\/a>, discusses different angles on the price that customers are paying for the mishandling of commercial airlines, and, in contrast, how business aviation\u2019s standards separate from this reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commercial aviation<\/a> inefficiency is the new normal. There, I said it. While you can make the case that the daily mishandling of the travel experience by global carriers dates back a decade or so, I\u2019ll play nice and provide some domino-effect facts that started to loom in mid-2022, when the travel recovery after the pandemic and opening borders evidenced the sheer lack of preparedness of the entire industry.<\/span><\/p>\n
