With commercial airlines limiting flights and concerns over the safety of travel at an all-time high, Ron Silverman, chief business officer for XO — the first global digital marketplace for private aviation — says XO has seen its national customer base grow to five times pre-COVID-19 levels, with many of those travelers experiencing private aviation for the first time.
Options now exist, he says, that make flying private out of cities like New Orleans for both business and pleasure more accessible than ever. Silverman explains these options and discusses the present and future of air travel in this new era with Biz New Orleans Managing Editor Kim Singletary in this week’s episode of Biz Talks.
