If ever you need to convince your owner on why he/she should not sell the aircraft, here is a document published by the British business and General Aviation Association that may help.

A great article Adam and further to a discussion we had on another thread, I put below the advantages of Corporate Aviation as defined by the author:
"
SAVING EMPLOYEE TIME.
Business aircraft can
be flown non-stop between airports close to where
people want to go without the delays of main
terminal hubs.
INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY EN-ROUTE.
Rather
than write off travelling time as lost, studies have
shown productivity on business aircraft is actually
higher than in the office.
EFFICIENT, RELIABLE SCHEDULING.
The near
total flexibility inherent in business aircraft is a
powerful asset. Business determines the schedule -
not the airlines.
REDUCE HOURS AWAY FROM HOME.
Both
businesses and the individual benefit when family
time is not lost to non-productive travel.
ENSURING INDUSTRIAL SECURITY.
Use of
business aircraft reduces travel visibility and
eliminates unwanted and unnecessary
conversations and interruptions.
HIGH PERSONAL SAFETY.
Turbine powered
business aircraft flown by professional crews have a
safety record comparable to that of the largest
scheduled air lines.
INCREASING ENTERPRISE.
Business aircraft
allow opportunities especially those in remote
regions to be more readily considered and acted
upon. Studies have put access to business aviation
in the top three drivers for business relocation
decisions.
PROJECTING A POSITIVE CORPORATE IMAGE.
Using a business aircraft shows a company to be
progressive with a keen interest in efficient time
management and high levels of productivity."
I find the "Increasing Enterprise" reasoning very interesting as Chinese industry and opportunities explode.
