Demand for private jets from India soars

As the FIFA world cup draws close, air charter sourcing companies are cashing in on booking business charter planes by India’s high net-worth Individuals (HNIs). The FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be held in Qatar from November 20 to December 18.
According to official sources, India’s HNIs are set for an unprecedented presence at the FIFA event in Qatar this year as the charter planes are being mostly sold out in spite of deals being exorbitant.
An official on the condition of anonymity said that one of India’s High Networth Individuals booked the fastest 30-seater charter plane to witness the FIFA World Cup matches in Qatar.
Insta Charter, the Delhi-based air charter sourcing company, in an interaction with ANI said that the HNIs are showing their interest in booking a private charter. “This past month the maximum trip requests we have received are for Qatar and Dubai for FIFA matches,” Captain Abhishek Sinha, founder of Insta Charter told ANI.
The country’s affluent class has increased the demand to book private charters for FIFA matches as the hotels queuing up are sold out in Qatar and the number of hotels available does not match the number of FIFA spectators. Insta Charter is a global air charter sourcing platform to connect Operators and Brokers in the business air charter industry. Insta Charter confirmed to ANI that most of the prominent personalities who will be witnessing the FIFA match from India have booked their charters through Insta Charter.
“We can definitely say this is indicative of the prominent presence of the who’s who of the Indian business fraternity at the event but can’t say the name of our clients as per our privacy policy,” Captain Sinha said.
People watching a 90-minute match of their favourite FIFA team are resorting to charters so that they can return after the match on the same day, as the number of hotels in Qatar is not enough for the number of visitors to FIFA.Further charter sourcing company Insta Charter’s Founder reveals that…”India’s Ultra High Net Worth Individuals are under 40 and spend more on experiences than on
Jewellery.”
