I could see witches, or those that don't agree with the Wizards' Tower/Guild people and study magic outside their jurisdiction or whatever(I heard this somewhere. Was it in the first Lore Q&A?), using broomsticks as their means of transport. I don't see a problem with it, really, as long as it's enchanted to perform the effect. Heck, I'd imagine magic carpets can also be used. Just be sure not to do what one deceased sultan did and jump out of a tower with an unenchanted carpet, though, that would be an interesting way to assassinate someone...
