PRESS RELEASE: After two decades of building and growing one of the world’s premier business aviation consulting and brokerage firms, Michael Mikolay has launched Mikolay Jet Group (mikolayjet.com) – a new aircraft sales and acquisitions firm delivering unmatched client experiences. Based in Guilford, Connecticut, Mikolay Jet Group’s mission is to redefine the aircraft brokerage experience.

Business jets, often called "time machines," are extremely valuable because they boost productivity for aircraft owners and business travelers. But what about when the unexpected happens? Michael Mikolay shares strategies to minimize aircraft downtime while maximizing value.

Therefore, the return on investment of flying private can be calculated by analyzing the costs and benefits associated with private aviation compared with the expenses and outcomes of commercial air travel.
