What it is
What is private jet charter?
Charter is private aviation on your terms: you pick the departure airport, the time and the aircraft category, and an operator flies you there. We arrange it, confirm the operator's certificate and paperwork, and stay with the trip from quote to landing.
Charter is priced by the hour for the aircraft category, multiplied by the flight time, plus repositioning if the aircraft is not based where you are, plus taxes and fees. Our estimator shows block time and, where we have published an hourly rate, an indicative total; the firm quote comes from the operator for your exact dates.
Every flight we arrange is operated under an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate (or the equivalent abroad). We tell you who the operator is before you commit, as US rules for air charter brokers require.
Round trips with a short stay are usually cheaper than two one-ways because the aircraft waits for you; longer stays may be cheaper as two one-ways, and an empty leg in one direction can cut the total further.
