章节摘录

　　B　　The gradual completion of Europes single market means that more and more executives are icriss-crossing Europe to look for business. With European domestic air fares extremely high, acorporate jet looks more attractive for executives flying three or four times a month. Evensome of Europes smaller companies are investigating it. However, the larger Europeanairports operate priority regulations which govern slot allocation for take-off and createdelays airlines have first priority, chartered flights come second, air taxis third and businessjets are fourth on the list. Smaller airports pose problems of access and a risk of inadequateground handling.　　C　　Most businesses will not discuss their corporate aircraft or even reveal whether the alreadyhigh-earning chief executive has an aircraft, for fear of shareholder reaction. There is stillsome stigma attached to ownership of a business jet. With new planes costing anything from$ 5 million upwards plus extra comforts in the interior, many companies feel they cant justifythe expense to shareholders and employees. For some European managers a private jet isseen as an unacceptable perk indicating serious problems in a companys management.　　D　　The market for private aircraft fall into two sectors, the no-expense-spared rich mansplaything——the popular image——and the serious business tool owned by corporations.Manufacturers deliver the former as what is called a "green" aircraft——a plane that isunfinished except for a green corrosive-resistant paint which covers the bare metal. Ownerspersonalise the plane with telephones, dining areas and even cinemas. The latter sector isvery different and planes are normally bought with straightforward seating.
