Charter Flights Now and Then
Aviation back in the day had to work extremely hard to get their custom. They would offer a half hour flight over London to convince passengers to take a flight on one of their new international air routes.
In this regulated industry, charter flights were a way of grouping passengers with a similar interest to fly to their destination. At this time you would have to belong to a travel club in order to obtain a cheap ticket. The club would charter an aircraft and take the members to their destination. You could only get a ticket through the club the airline would not sell these tickets to the general public.
In the sixties after deregulation, European charter flights grew massively offering cheaper flights to destinations such as Spain. Charter flights became low cost high load. Profits soared in the UK and so did peoples willingness to travel abroad. At this time though, to be able to sell a charter flight you would need to include accommodation as well. Many operators got round the regulations by providing accommodation that was never used by their passengers. This changed when the number of homes bought abroad increased and self catering holidays became available, this created a demand for seat only flights and the requirement to provide accommodation with a flight ended.
You can get a charter flight to almost anywhere in the world and you can even book your flights online on the web. Things are definitely looking up (pardon the pun) for the charter flight industry.
I am reasonably new to the travel industry though find the subject very interesting. I am sure that I can bring something new to the table from the other industries I have worked in. See an example of the type of site I am working on now at: http://www.barheadtravel.co.uk
