Air charter refers to a variety of services available that allow individuals, corporations, or groups to charter airplanes for their use. Charter flights are inherently much more convenient than flying on commercial airlines, with direct flights to nearly any where in the world.
Typical plane charters accommodate 5-10 people on smaller business jets, or as many as 50 on larger business jets. Typically, plane charters should be set up in advance, preferably at least a month to ensure proper scheduling, although some companies do offer ‘rush’ service, allowing even next day charters.
Other options for business or group travelers include fractional jets – whereby a company purchases basically a share of time of use for the jet. Fractional jets are often a more cost effective way to handle plane charters, assuming there will be a repeat need.
• Charter flights, unlike scheduled flights, don’t operate to a strict schedule, but tailor the flight itinerary to your needs.
• Commercial Airlines fly to only 200-230 of the largest airports in the world. Charter flights can land at more than 7000 airports! This affords our clients the flexibility to get closer to their destination, in much less time and effort!
• Rarely are charter flights delayed or cancelled. If you have ever sat in a busy airport terminal because your flight was delayed at some point during its routine, you know the frustration. Charter Flights operate on your schedule!
• Travel in luxury! If you have travelled first class on a commercial airline, you have just a small taste of the personal comfort and convenience an Air Charter company offers.
• Check in Procedure! Actually, once we have all your information, and your charter has been reserved… The only process involves loading your baggage, and assuring your comfort on the aircraft. Aside from making sure you are whom you claim to be, there are no long lines, no crowded airports etc.
• Aviation safety is the utmost concern of every Air Charter company we work with. There are strict FAA regulations governing the Air Charter industry, and your safetly is always the highest concern!
• Privacy is one of the key reasons most high-level executives choose to fly air charter. When you are discussing private matters, the last thing you need to worry about is who sits next to you!
• Eliminate lost Baggage! Your baggage travels in the same plane you do, guaranteed! It goes from your hand directly onto the plane, thus eliminating the need to wait at your destination, as well as the poor experience of losing your belongings.
