Chartered flight options/costs...

I have a couple ongoing projects in Italy that have required travel to Milan every two months or so. Since my appointments usually pop up at the last minute, I’m really taking a hit on flights with (coach) tickets running $4,000-5,000. For that kind of cash, could one purchase a seat on a charter flight? Not necessarily a typical private jet model where you’re paying for the complete charter of the craft (and your responsible for populating the flight to reduce your cost), rather you pay for your seat on an already scheduled charter flight.
Just thinking out loud here; I was recently reading an article about NetJets and the author mentioned a company called SocialAir that has a similar concept to what I’m thinking...though I haven't has much success in researching them. The idea is that for a little more than what you pay for the cattle car, you get a little more legroom, no TSA groping, and an overall nicer flight experience. Does such a service exist.. and if so, am I still thousands of dollars away from experiencing it?
