Most of the airport looks of Bollywood celebrities shot by the paparazzi are from Mumbai’s Kalina airport. This airport is primarily used for private, VIP or charter planes. Many celebrities prefer private planes for the added facilities, privacy, fewer crowds, and to reach their destinations much quicker than commercial airlines. However, private planes are an extreme luxury which only very few people can afford. So, most of the general public is always keen to know how different private jets are from commercial aircraft.
Inside a charter aircraft preferred by most Bollywood celebrities
Most people are under the assumption that celebrities who fly on private planes personally own them. However, that is not the case usually. Only a few individuals in India own a private plane. Given the cost of buying and maintaining aircraft, most celebrities rent charter planes when travelling. These private planes are chartered by a company, and then the whole aircraft is rented by the flyer for travel. One such company is Skyline Charters, whose Director, Maria Charles, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter India and gave deep insight about the experience of flying in a private jet.
