Private Airplanes Hold Internal Hazards for Passengers
If you take a private passenger airplane, you will experience all of the comforts of home and then some. A private airplane trip can elevate your status in the community, or you may be already on your way up because of a new job or a new network connection that gives you access to someone else’s private airplane. It is important to remember that a private airplane is managed, run and owned by a private company or person. That means that you are not flying on a commercial airline, but on a small company plane or company jet. The standards of how the smaller airplanes are cleaned, maintained and handled will vary greatly from one small airplane owner to another.
You can also slip and fall on a private plane, because of the extra accoutrements that are inherent in a private aircraft. There are definitely custom and smaller dimensions for everything on a private jet. The seats may stick out into the aisle, or swivel around at odd angles, and there may be shelves and tables that come out of nowhere to accommodate the passengers on these types of private flights. There can be pillows, blankets and other accessories on the flight in close quarters, where something can easily fall onto the floor and become a slipping and falling hazard during the flight.

What Makes Private Planes More of a Slipping and Falling Hazard?
On a private plane, you will feel as pampered as you would on a larger yacht. The private airplanes offer top service, including napkins, fine China and even mini vases with water and fresh flowers on the tables. But one small banking turn by the pilot, and all of these fine extras will end up on the carpeted floor. Additionally, there are design flaws in many of the private jets, including pedestals, raised carpeted areas, cramped aisles and oversized tables and shelving, that can make for a slip and fall injury on a private flight.
