General aviation encompasses charter flights, bush flights, gliding, police, fire and emergency ambulance services, as well as any unscheduled flights with commercial airlines. In most countries, business jets and cargo jets are under the same regulations as most regularly scheduled commercial flights. Bush flying and air ambulances, charter flights and gliders have lower expectations and guidelines.
They use smaller, often private, airports, and are subject to less government regulation.
Besides being in control of your own flight, you set the schedule for your arrival and return. With airlines cutting capacity and sending flights to fewer and fewer destinations, you spend more time in the airport waiting for flights. With general aviation, you can leave after morning rush hour traffic if you’d like, or you can leave before anyone else is up. And, you’re not bound to an airline with a non-refund
able ticket when they randomly choose to cancel or postpone a flight.
