CAMARILLO – In chaotic times, how much is peace of mind worth?

Traditional airports and airplanes have faced a slew of hurdles in the past few years, and recent news that airlines are beginning to cancel long-haul international flights in the face of rising fuel challenges only underscores those difficulties.

CAMARILLO — If you’re looking to charter a private jet for your next vacation or business trip, now might be the time to do it.

After soaring to record pricing during the COVID-19 pandemic, rates for private jet charters are dropping to prepandemic levels, according to Sarah Oberman, founder of TruNorth Jets, a jet charter broker based out of Camarillo.
