Business travelers not only face tight, time-consuming airport security, but with dreaded holiday travel quickly approaching, they may find their stops in airports are lengthening even more.

Long check-in lines, boarding and flight delays, cancellations and intense security measures across the country are leaving business travelers desperately seeking quicker travel options.

Avid travelers are catching on to the concept of the air taxi. Not only is it cheaper than traditional chartered flights, it offers the convenience of same day booking; it is literally as easy as hailing a cab.

'I can get where I want to, when I want to,' said Clarke Hogan, president of Ontario Hardwood and a Delegate for the 60th district in the Virginia House of Delegates.

The business traveler can also rest assured that these convenient, cost-effective flights offer the luxury and comfort of first-class, including AC plug-ins for laptops.

'While high gas prices and overbooked flights have become the norm, many executive travelers are wondering how to conduct business in a timely fashion,' said Phil Quist, vice president of business systems at SATSair (Smart Air Travel Solutions), an air taxi service.

Air taxis offer great value and the convenience of traditional aircraft charter, without the high costs and charges for empty return legs.

Based out of Greenville, S.C., SATSair manages a fleet of 16 planes which service the eastern and southern United States. Prices start at $420 per hour, and approximately 90 percent of SATSair customers are business travelers. You can learn more about SATSair by visiting http://www.Satsair.com.
