Most micro jet companies are headquartered in major European and North American cities, close to where the micro jet models are being assembled. In Australia, you'll find air taxi services and aircraft charters based in all states and territories, which only shows how flight technology is integral to connecting all points of Australia from the outback to the widely-scattered cities and metropolises. Apart from micro jets, air charters employ turboengine planes, single and double propeller aircraft, helicopters and conventional business jets (a little larger than micro jets). Take a closer look at a limited selection of micro jet and aircraft charters below:
